Food For Thought

Season is right around the corner! Hope everyone's workouts are going well.

For hitters your workouts should start consisting of more of a velocity workouts. Example: A good exercise is the walk-up drill on the Iron Mike. This focuses on less reaction time which in essence will give you a shorter, quicker, explosive swing to the baseball. It will help you alleviate any longness or hardness in your approach. Hitting a baseball is effortless power which this drill will help you create.

Advise...

All of your hard work over the course of this winter preparing yourself for the upcoming season is approaching quickly. Don't let all of the hard work and what you have learned about your strengths and weaknesses as a player go to waste. It's more important to maintain your workouts over the course of the season. Example: As a hitter you may struggle with certain pitches during a game. Simple concept is to work on that pitch in practice the next day to create confidence it helps offset any doubt with your approach at the plate. As we all know baseball is a mental game this is one key component to making you a successful hitter.

The moral of the story is you need to continue practicing your game throughout the season to maintain confidence. We have our staff on hand all season long to create a routine and practice habits that will help you get to the next level.

Wishing everyone much success,

Coach Cangelosi
