Have another one I need some help with. She can crush off the tee. What I notice is off the tee there isnt much hip swaying going on and she had a pretty good bat path.. but with front toss she has a positive move, then negative, and then a crash forward. Her hands stay with her body the whole time with no separation and all she can do is cut down and across and she's toast. When she goes off that machine she has a toe tap and she is crashing even more. So many moving pieces. That's what I think is going on.. I've had her go no stride with the miller mat before, but she absolutely hates it... but she has more success. She wants that leg kick so bad but its causing so many problems. Looking for some advice on this one... Thanks!

Just looking for some advice on one of my players. Looks like her upper body/trunk is outracing her hands and we've got some bat drag going on. What drills would you advise for this? I typically would try short bat one handed (bottom hand drill) and then also a connection ball to try to keep the spacing to counter act the arm bar. https://youtu.be/HmVmPL2PfSo

I’d suggest getting her to feel striding more downhill. Keeping her back hip and shoulder taller than her front hip and shoulder. @Brian Madden

Tribe! I just uploaded something special inside the Mental Pillar: 👉 The Parent Playbook This is built to give parents a clear roadmap on how to support their hitters the right way. Too often, players lose confidence because the voices around them don’t know how to navigate the ups and downs of the game. This playbook flips that. Inside you’ll find: - ✅ How to help your hitter handle failure without adding pressure - ✅ The language that builds confidence (and what to avoid) - ✅ The role parents play in the mental game - ✅ How to be an anchor for your hitter during slumps and hot streaks - ✅ Action steps you can use immediately after games and practices 📍 You’ll find it in the Classroom → Mental Pillar → Parent Playbook ⚠️ Quick Disclaimer I’m not here to tell anyone how to parent — that’s not my lane. This resource is simply what I’ve seen over 12 years in pro ball and now as a coach: what helps players thrive, and what holds them back. And trust me… I’m sure I’ll be eating some crow when my daughter gets older and I’m the one in the bleachers. 😂
