Hitting Baseballs Consistently Well & Avoiding Slumps Requires the Right Mental Approach...

The Dugout Newsletter

The mental approach to hitting baseballs well can be quite an uphill battle...there's lot of white noise out there, and sifting through it can be such a daunting task. Since most of the Swing Smarter site caters to the physical wellness of a swing, we included an eZine (online magazine) to detail the How To...of the mental side of hitting.

Since hitting begins in the dugout, we're calling this e-zine The Dugout. As you may know by now, in the Science Of Hitting, Ted Williams was quoted as saying, "Hitting is 90% from the neck up." Who would know better than one of the greatest hitters of all time, right? So, we've so cleverly USP'ed The Dugout e-zine, "Hitting Baseballs from the Neck Up!;-)

Hitting baseballs all over the yard like a Manny Ramirez, Derek Jeter, or Evan Longoria will NOT be a reality for most of us because some ballplayers get extra gifts written into their DNA code, but we can make stronger the abilities we have, so we can unlock hidden potential, which would otherwise be "skipped over" without the right mental conditioning.

Some of the OVERPOWERING topics (and MORE) being addressed in The Dugout to look forward to are:

  • How to use mental rehearsal to get quality swings in, even when you can't physically (i.e. because of injury, weather, etc.),
  • Engaging relaxation techniques to build nerves of steel,
  • Creating short simple routines to take anywhere, keeping you focused to do battle with virtually any malevolent circumstance, and
  • Developing mental toughness is by far the biggest issue coaches put numero uno on their action item list, and we'll hit that too!

We have a lot of useful information to share with you in this monthly online magazine, and we know you are busy, so we'll focus on one, maybe two, progressive ideas each issue.

Also, please note...

The Dugout will NOT eliminate hitting slumps altogether, in baseball that's impossible, but what creating a powerful mental approach will do is soften and shorten the severity of any dip in performance.
