🔑Control the On Deck, Control the At-Bat
What you should be doing on deck: 1️⃣ Calm your mind If your heart rate is high, your swing speeds up. Slow it down. - Inhale through the nose - Long exhale through the mouth - Feel your feet on the ground Get back to neutral before you ever step in. 2️⃣ Lock in timing Don’t guess Watch his rhythm. - Leg lift speed - Hand break - Time to the plate Get your internal clock synced before you step in. 3️⃣ Find the release point Track the ball out of the hand. - Over the top? - Low slot? - Hiding it well or showing it early? Your eyes need reps before your body goes. 4️⃣ Read command Stop watching results. Watch patterns. - What pitch does he land? - Where is he missing? - Arm side? Glove side? Up? That tells you what you can hunt. 5️⃣ Build your plan Don’t walk in empty. Pick ONE lane. - Pitch type - Zone - Count approach Simple. Clear. Repeatable. 6️⃣ Rehearse your swing Not random swings. Intent swings. - One or two cues max - Feel your best move - Stay within yourself You’re not fixing your swing. You’re reminding it. Bottom line: If you step in sped up, you’re already beat. Slow the mind. Control the breath. Then step in ready. Win the on-deck circle…and the at-bat slows down. 🤙🏼 Lane
