you've clicked to watch this video no doubt you would like to be a better
hitter
instantly who would well you can but let me ask you a quick question first
if you make improvements in your swing technique will they show up
immediate results when you stepped in the batter's box maybe
but there's a chance not I mean you could square up a number of balls
perfectly and hard
only to have a fielder still make a play on them and get you out
so when you consider becoming a better hitter
instantly, you can! but the actual results may take time to catch up
sometimes very quickly other times a little slower
but take into account your quality at bats
how hard you're hitting the ball not just the in result to the base hit
are you ready one more question are you just looking for a quick fix
because you're not hitting quick fixes
if they work at all are temporary because most hitter start counting on
them as their
magic bullet and when the fix stops working it leads to extreme frustration
and searching for a new fix this may well be a quick fix for you
but it's designed to be a permanent solution to being a better hitter
if you take it applied as a permanent solution
you have a resounding success not just in hitting but in all of the game
and in your life too.. but if you apply it as a quick fix
and then discard it when you are getting the results you want it won't work
and it may never work again unless you apply it properly
okay here it is and really it's too things
first be positive get rid
of any all negative thinking about the game about your game you're swinging
your ability to hit
trash it all in favor of a new a complete positive outlook in approach
to your life in game hitting the truth is is that you usually get what you
expect
and if you expect to fail or aren't sure if you can get a hit
most likely you won't... rather expect to hit the ball hard
every time you stepped in the batter's box with positive self-talk
in your mind and under your breath to yourself tell yourself
that you are a great hitter with a great swing that's getting better every day
do it right now
say it out loud believe it and if you say it
but you don't mean it will have any effect on you so say it
mean it believe it you have to believe and I mean really believe that no matter
how good a pitcher might be
believe in your mind that he cannot possibly get you out three times in a
row
period I'm not kidding here if you will completely change your mental approach
to hitting
to a positive one eliminating all negative thoughts
and self-talk you will be a better hitter right now as you're watching this
determine right now that you will take a positive approach
in a mindset in practice and absolutely come game time
in the on-deck circle when you stepped in the batter's box regardless
if your last at bat was a strikeout or weak dribbler back to the pitcher
or any unfavorable result regardless have a bad call by an umpire or maybe an
error you made in the field last half inning resolve right now
that you were going to be positive at all times about your hitting ability
and your swing and you will be a better hitter instantly
if any negative spot starts to creep in
because the results are immediate in terms of base its tell yourself
stop replace any negative
with positive and over a period of your season watch what happens
you'll likely be very amazed and your coaches your teammates your parents
other parents others will be asking you what you're doing differently
and you'll have them telling you how great you are
instead of you just telling yourself now quickly I said it was two things
alone with a completely positive approach add to that
confidence they almost go hand in hand but that but an extra dose
of confidence again regardless of circumstance or recent results
and you'll be well on your way to reaching your full potential
as a hitter be positive
