Coaching notes
Breakdown of elite swings showing the consistent presence of stretch/separation, deep barrel entry from the inside, and proper sequencing. Serves as both education and motivation for the drills that create those qualities.
Objectives
Reinforce the universal mechanical principles of elite hitting; give hitters a clear picture of what they are training toward.
Coaching cues
Look for stretch and separation; watch the barrel get deep from the inside; notice the sequencing that creates power without length.
Common errors
N/A (educational video).
Steps
- 1. Watch the elite swing breakdowns
- 2. Identify the core principles in each example
- 3. Relate the principles back to the drills being practiced
- 4. Apply the visual model in the next training session
