Your player isn’t frustrated because they’re not good enough.

They’re frustrated because they’re carrying your expectations on top of their own.

I’ve watched talented kids quit a game. They love not because they couldn’t play…

Because nobody taught them how to fail without falling apart.

It’s not a swing problem it’s a mental preparation problem.

And it’s COMPLETELY FIXABLE.

Comment “Parent” below if you have a ball player struggling with frustrations.

He trained for exactly this moment.

Game tying, three run home runs don’t happen by accident.

Collin has been putting in the work. He understands how to be mentally prepared.
He’s able to slow the game down so that he can perform in the biggest moment.

This is what structured work looks like.

Players that are prepared are confident players.

When players are confident, competent, and composed they can compete with freedom and no fear of failure.

If you would like to discuss me working with your son, DM the word “SWING” and let’s talk.

Pete Rose had the second most doubles in MLB history with 746. Tris Speaker is the all-time leader at 793.

He definitely acted like he had done it a time or two before.

If you want to stand out as a player, play the game.

Always hustle and know how many outs there are at all times.

***Based on feedback in the comments I need to clarify a couple things***
1. I didn’t realize Pete Rose was charged with s*x crimes against minors. To be clear I do not condone that type of behavior.
2. I don’t think he should have been inducted into the Hall of Fame. Every player that has ever walked into a professional baseball clubhouse has seen the notice about gambling on the wall.
3. Yes, I referred to him as “this guy”…dry, witty sense of humor towards the all time hit leader.
4. Baseball should be played with emotion and passion in the context of the long grind of a season. There are many highs and lows during a season. Maintaining an even keel sets players up for the long journey of winning championships not momentary blips of success along the way.
5. Yes, baseball in and of itself is entertaining. The Savannah Bananas are also entertaining. I just believe they should stay two separate products.

Why kids roll over and hit weak ground balls.

They never learn how to hit against a firm front side.

So everything leaks forward.
The barrel dumps early.
And that usually leads to weak ground balls and roll overs.

A strong front side gives the barrel something to work around.
That’s where you create separation, rotation, and real bat speed.

Most hitters don’t need more swings.
They need a better movement pattern.

If you want to see how we train this inside my system, message me “SWING.”

This one movement pattern will help player stop rolling over in games.

When you hit off the tee try to drive your backside knee down towards the ground.

A common mistake is that hitters lift out of their back leg causing them to pull off the ball and roll over.

Train specific movement patterns when you hit off tee.
