Hey @Lane Adams do you have any drills I could do to help set up my load better because lately I’ve been having trouble getting my hands back and stretching out those muscles. Thank you, Kyson K

Baseball & softball are full of distractions. The strike zone shifts, coaches play favorites, brutal umpires, and bad hops happen. If you let those things dictate your mindset, you’ve already lost. You don’t control outcomes. You don’t control opinions. You don’t control luck. What you do control is what separates hitters who crumble from hitters who get recruited: - Preparation → Did you do your reps with precision, or just go through the motions? - Routine → Are you consistent with your pre-pitch approach, or do you change it based on emotion? - Breath & Body Language → Do you stay calm and composed, or do you let frustration show? - Focus → Are you locked in on the next pitch, or replaying your last at-bat in your head? - Effort & Energy → Are you giving your best every rep, or coasting when nobody’s watching? Precision Hitters win the game before it starts by mastering these controllables. That’s how you stay steady when pressure hits. That’s how you earn trust from coaches and teammates. 👉 Drop ONE controllable below that you’re going to own this week. It doesn’t matter how small, commit to it, and win it daily. Stay disciplined. Stay present. Precision Over Chaos. Win the Controllables.

Every once in a while, lessons get cancelled or rescheduled… which means extra opportunities for you. 👉 When a slot opens up, I’ll post it here. 👉 Comment “BOOKED” below if you want it. 👉 I’ll confirm with you directly to lock it in. This is a great way to grab extra reps without committing to a new recurring slot. Stay ready, these usually get claimed fast. 💨

To stay consistent and square balls up, you’ve got to keep your barrel above your hands in the lag position of your swing. Here’s why: Key Points: - The Lag Position Matters: Lag is when your barrel trails your hands just before launching forward. It sets up your swing path and bat direction. - Barrel Above Hands = On Plane Early: Keeping the barrel above the hands keeps your swing tighter and allows you to match pitch plane—especially on fastballs up in the zone. - Barrel Below Hands = Trouble: If the barrel drops under too soon, your swing becomes steep and inconsistent. You’ll miss high pitches and either pop up or foul back. - Better Trajectory, More Solid Contact: Staying above and then flattening out through the zone helps you drive balls with backspin instead of slicing under them. - Feel It in Your Drills: Use mirror work, pause swings, or PVC pipe drills to reinforce that clean, above-the-hands lag position. Takeaway: If you’re missing under, don’t just “swing harder.” Fix the path. Stay above the hands in your load and lag, and you’ll stay on plane longer—with better results.

Hey @Lane Adams I’ve been trying to work on my swing and lately I’ve been popping the ball up a lot. Is there anything you see in these videos or anything that I need to work on.
