  1. ~ Session #1 – Foundation ~ I. Teaching vs. Coaching A. Hitting Clichés B. Teach Feel vs. Teaching Ideas 1. “Feel” is attained through Imagery and Repetition 2. “Ideas” are knowledge conveyed through words 3. Example of an Idea – “Shift 80% of your weight to your backside in load” 4. Example of Feel – “Set up to throw your best punch” 5. Teaching “Feel” allows player to retain athleticism and movement 6. Teaching “Ideas” creates robotic movement and too much thinking

  2. ~ Session #1 – Foundation ~ II. Importance of Strong Foundation A. Stance 1. Width a. Athletic base b. Comfortable & balanced c. Weight distributed evenly 2. Open vs. Closed vs. Parallel 3. Solution – Heel to toe maximum in stance

  3. ~ Session #1 – Foundation ~ B. Separation 1. Separate stride from swing 2. Front foot down before swing starts 3. Front knee inside of front ankle to gain resistance 4. Solution – Clap Drill a. Set-up and stride drill to separate stride & swing b. Teaches how to stay back – “stride to go back…not to go forward” c. Stride on 1st clap, swing on 2nd clap d. Vary the timing of the claps e. Open eyes vs. closed eyes

  4. ~ Session #1 – Foundation ~ C. Load 1. Shift of weight to backside a. Back knee over back foot b. Slow paced load – slight rock back c. Use lower half to load weight back 2. Solution – Balance Drill a. Lift front leg & hold in the air for 2 count b. Reach out with stride foot – gain leverage c. Trigger with back hip d. Transfer weight out through swing

  5. ~ Session #1 – Foundation ~ D. Stride 1. Direction a. Back towards Pitcher b. Front foot closed c. Solution - Lead with the heel if toe always lands open 2. Timing a. Before ball is released by Pitcher b. Solution - Separate on Pitcher’s separation

  6. ~ Session #1 – Foundation ~ E. Common Problems with Foundation 1. Drifting Forward • a. Caused by long stride • b. Caused by front foot open on stride • c. Caused by fast paced load back • d. Caused by poor timing (late stride) 2. Pulling off the Ball • a. Caused by poor direction closing off backside or opening early • b. Caused by open front foot on stride • c. Caused by upper half getting ahead of lower half in swing

  7. ~ Session #1 – Foundation ~ E. Common Problems with Foundation Continued 3. Poor Balance • a. Caused by front foot direction • b. Caused by poor timing • c. Caused by poor pace • d. Solution – Balance Drill 4. Staying on Backside a. Caused by lack of weight transfer b. Causes back shoulder to drop c. Solution – Balance drill & walk through
