If there's one problem that can absolutely lock a player up, its a fear of the ball. The odds of getting hit are probably around 5%, but that fearful story being played in the mind will sabotage the other 95% when they were safe all along.
The fear overcome's many players, to the point where them stepping out can feel involuntary. And we've all tried throwing tennis balls but for me, that has never worked (throwing tennis balls at kids IS fun though!). But there are REAL answers for someone dealing with a real fear, which is what we're dealing with here.
While there is no "Instant Magic Bullet", I truly believe these methods are the closest thing to a true answer as there is.
So give this a quick listen, and if you are looking for the best hitting program available for youth players (put together by a 35 year MLB vet and current hitting coach), then check out this link here
Good vibes and praying for Courage for your player!

What are my favorite memories from baseball? What are my favorite historical moments? What are life lessons that I've learned ? In today's podcast episode I share an interview from the Keep Baseball Great podcast (check it out!) with Drew Rodgers.

This game provides so many opportunities for life moments and it's fun to revisit those when we have this break in the action. Be sure to check out Keep Baseball Great podcast on iTunes....a lot of cool content coming from Drew!…
Solo episode here with Coach Clint. In uncertain times, thoughts tend to go toward worst case "what if" scenarios. Just like when a hitter hasn't gotten a hit in a while, they wallow through the down period as if they'll never get a hit again. And with season's hitting the pause button and a lot of people feeling the financial pinch, I thought running through the first lesson in the Bulletproof Hitter - Playing Poorly Well - would be the best use of our time. Some hitters have to bat near 1.000 to be happy. And the key to big league success is being able to be even keeled and even joyful while going through a bad stretch. And there are ways to do this. Listen to this brief episode, take a breath and focus on your task at hand. Whatever you may be going through, it's possible to go through it with more peace - it's available to you, just let it in. Good vibes your way.…

Prepare to play your best season yet.....I'll have more info on it soon :) Go get em today!…

1 Episode 22 - Building an elite athlete to increase velocity with Brent Porciau of Top Velocity 33:37
Great episode right here! Brent is a pioneer in the kinesiology based throwing movements and has worked to dispel the old common convention: pitchers shouldn't lift, they just need to run, etc. In this episode we talk about how conventional methods at the time failed him, his road back from a "career ending injury" to throwing harder than ever, what scap loading is and if it's actually important, how the top half doesn't matter if the bottom half doesn't move correctly, some of his favorite training products and much more.

GOOD VIBES YOUR WAY TODAY!…
