The next time you make an error or any type of mistake during competition, use this simple 3 step Reset Routine to quickly bounce back.
Step 1: Before the game, draw a reset button under your hat. You can also draw it on your wrist tape, on your glove or wherever you’d like to.

The majority of the time players get in a rut hitting because their timing is off, they’re trying to do too much, thinking too much, or just swinging at bad pitches. None of which has to do with mechanics. Everything starts with our thoughts and overall mindset!

The 4 obstacles that hold back athletes the most: Fear, inability to handle adversity, lack of routines and lack of self-discipline.
It all comes down to intentionally chipping away at what’s in the way so that you can get to all of the potential that is sitting inside of you.

Hitting starts WAY before getting into the box. Below are 6 steps that will lead to more consistent hitting…

⚡️Yup, that’s me back in 2009 at the position I played most, 1st base coach. After close to 200 at-bats in Double-A I was hitting a whopping .190. On days I wouldn’t start (which were most) I would take my position as 1st base coach. Pretty much rock bottom.

It’s NORMAL to feel fear and anxiety. Every single human does from time to time, especially when we’re out of our comfort zone.
It’s NOT NORMAL to have the mindset and mental tools to shift those feelings from an obstacle holding you back to an asset that fuels you.

People always ask me why I got hit so much. My short answer: IT WAS A MINDSET.
The goal when hitting is to get on base and in my mind getting HBP was just another way to do that.
Truthfully, I never went up to the plate looking to get hit (unless I had two strikes on me
