These weren't meant to get a ton of views

Yesterday I posted two videos. One was 5 minutes, one was 3. Way longer and more in depth than I usually put out. That kind of detail is normally just for the hitters and coaches I train. But I wanted to try something different. Go deeper and longer than what other hitting coaches are posting. A 3 and 5 minute video isn't built to go viral. It won't entertain the masses or fit the 20 second attention span everyone's running on now. (That's fine. It wasn't made for them.) It was made for real hitters and real coaches. The actual development and education lives in the long form stuff. The kind you sit down with, take notes on, save, and go apply. Here are both, posted on Instagram and Twitter. Here are the instagram links: Controlling your weight + stride: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DZaN63mxN5G/ Why the behind angle is better for evaluating hitters: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DZa-TfXJ_Kx/ LMK if there's anything else you want to see posted.

Go up to the plate and...
Matt Holliday said something I always come back to. He tells hitters: if you love to practice, you have a chance. He loved the behind the scenes work. The day to day grind of figuring out how to hit. That was the passion. That's what gave him a career. Most hitters have it backwards. They love the game. The Instagram pictures that come with it. The lights, the crowd, the highlights, the group chat blowing up after they go 3 for 4. That's the fun part. Everybody loves that part. But the game...
I trained 11 conference players of the year this season. (2 more texted me yesterday, I posted 9!) 6 remote, 5 in person. Different states, different levels, different swings, different needs. But they did it. And the number one thing they all had in common had nothing to do with their swing. It was a switch. Most hitters live on one side of it. They're either too hard on themselves to ever trust what they've built, or too comfortable to keep earning it. One side beats himself up before the...
