REALITY HITTING

Hitting is an act of controlled aggression. To be a good hitter that can consistently drive a pitch, you must put yourself into the role of being the aggressor in a confrontation with the pitcher.

MONSTER HITTER

We teach a form of recycling made famous by Tim Galwey years ago. Our hitters develop a personalized hitting mantra with our assistance as part of a hitting routine. Once the hitting routine is in their subconscious, the hitter recycles their HM (hitting mantra) before each pitch. Recycling the HM in the hitting routine recharges the aggressive hitting attitude for driving your pitch.

Funny, but...

A grandfather was telling his little grandson what his own childhood was like: "We used to skate outside on a pond.  I had a swing made from a tire; it hung from a tree in our front yard. We rode our pony. We picked wild raspberries in the woods." The little boy was wide-eyed, taking this all in.  At last he said, "I sure wish I'd gotten to know you sooner!"

Free .mp3 and annual sale from Coach Traub

Dear Del,
I hope you are having a fantastic morning.  I am writing to throw out this idea: mental skills training books, CDs, wristbands, and other products make awesome Christmas presents for elite-level coaches and athletes!
My online store goes on "sale" once per year, and it is now through this weekend.  All orders received during this sale will be received by Christmas and will include (free -- sent electronically) a bonus short .mp3 titled "Creating the Confidence of a Champion."
My book/dvd combo is the featured product.  At $25, it really is a great value.  I'm sure I could sell the same book and videos in a series for $149 if I worked on the packaging.  Of course, the sale price of $22 or bulk rate for a team is even better. The information inside can help any athlete build confidence, deal with adveristy effectively, and have a tunnel vision focus where the mind is as quiet as a glass lake.  You can get the product details here:
 
or just go to the store homepage here:
Feel free to contact me directly with questions about team orders.
Thank you for your time and for allowing me to support your work! Best wishes for making today your masterpiece.
-Aaron

Muscle Hitting Memory

A considerable portion of the difficulty of hitting a baseball consistely hard can be attributed to the hitter's mental approach, but sometimes a monkey wrench can be thrown in by the mental aspect's ugly cousin, twice removed, muscle memory.
Great care has been taken in developing and maintaining muscle memory at Combat Hitting. It is our belief that muscle memory flaws can be avoided if the correct muscle memory is used and revisited frequently. Due to the complexity of the bio-mechanics and muscles used in hitting, a proper pre-game and practice sequence should be followed. Light running is done before any stretching to help get the muscles in an elastic state. Following immediately after the running and stretching, a hitter should do the most difficult muscle memory movements in baseball which are the swing mechanics. In other words you must BEGIN with 10 minutes of hitting mechanics reinforcement before anything else. It is imperative to understand that fielding and throwing movements are secondary to maintaining hitting muscle memory. It's just like school, start with the hardest subjects first or the one's that require a refresher. Speaking of a refresher, ideally, the 10 minute hitting mechanics review includes the infusion of your hitting mantra helps to sustain an aggressive hitting mindset. Try to wrap your head around this idea...it's just common sense, good judgment, and priorities for a someone who strives to be the best hitter they can be.
For better hitting,
Del
