Mental Prepping Your At Bat

It's true that you get your hit before you even get in the box and face the pitcher. If your coach doesn't have a sign posted near the on deck circle to remind his hitters of this, then it's up to the hitter be aware and unsterstand the importance of it. A teenage hitter and older should develop hitting thoughts as part of his/her mental routine and repeat them until they become part of the subconscious. Because these thoughts are repeated so often in training and then again before and after each pitch in a game as part of a recycling routine, these thoughts become more like a mantra. This is why it was convenient for me to call this mental thought routine a Hitting Mantra or HM for short. As a hitter, you should develop and personalize a Hitting Mantra to match your hitting goals. Email me if you want help with a holistic approach to creating your own HM.
