Most of the time, they end up struggling and even losing power. Why? Wanting to hit the ball too hard creates muscle tension prior to the swing and it is a well-known physiological principle that muscle tension slows the muscle down. In order to generate explosiveness, bat speed, and power, you need to have your mind and nervous system alert but your muscles relaxed, ready to fire. You want proof of that? Take a look at sprinters prior to a race or professional tennis players before receiving a serve, they do all they can to stay relaxed so that can react quickly and explosively. They know that muscle tension will kill their reaction time and their power. The key is not to try to put the ball out of the park every single time but just look for a solid hard contact using sound fundamentals. You want to be relaxed, tension-free, prior to the swing and explode into the ball as it arrives. Your body needs to be relaxed but ready to fire at the same time. It’s sometimes a hard concept to g …

If you get 1 point for every ten yards but six for a touchdown, a back that is placed in goal line situations could outscore a back that runs for over 100 yards. This is the most important rule and that is why I have placed it first. 2. You must participate in a live draft. If you auto set your draft it can lead to disaster. If your league does not have a live draft it will be hard for you to react to what the other players in your league are doing. If you see all running backs going in the first two rounds but you have all your picks go and you have two quarterbacks set next then you will be stuck with a two quarterbacks and no one else in your backfield. It is critical that you are available on draft day for your team to be set up to win your league. 3. The First Round is already set for you - In the first round remember that you are looking to draft the highest fantasy point player on the board. That means that with the exception of maybe Tom Brady or Peyton Manning, you are going …

This is not the time or place to be working on mechanics. It’s already hard enough for hitters to make the necessary adjustments needed to what the pitcher is throwing them without their head swimming with what every coach(and parent sometimes not even their own parent) within ear shot telling them what to do or not to do when in the box and when they swing. It’s no wonder so many young hitters struggle not only with their swing, but even more tragically in most cases their confidence. The problem is that most of the time they are hearing a variety of different cues: “swing down”, “keep your elbow up”, “don’t dip your back shoulder”, “keep your head down”, “you’re pulling your head out”, “stay tall”, “stay back”, “swing level”, “quit doing (this)”, quit doing (that), (insert one you’ve heard or said here); …and to add confusion to confidence destruction, some of the things they hear are physically contrary to each other even to actual physics itself. Have you ever tried to “stay bac …

More and more, high school level elite competitions carry the imprimatur of “Wood Bat Tournament.” Senior and adult leagues are returning to wood, and a number of community baseball programs for kids throughout the country are finding that players can handle lumber just about as easily as they can expensive aluminum composite bats. Most importantly, learning to hit with wood is one of the best ways to become a true hitter. Hitting instructors everywhere believe that hitting with wood forces kids to learn the proper mechanics of hitting. And pro scouts, tired of watching fly ball homers and bloop singles that pop over infielders heads, emphatically state that they want to see high school and college prospects demonstrate their skills using wood. According to a retired college coach, he is impressed with the fact that most NCAA teams these days take batting practice with wood throughout the season. “The kids still do their game day preparation with metal,” he points out, “to get the fee …

The player’s weight should be evenly distributed on both feet to start. When the player begins the trigger, or start of the swing, some of the weight will then shift to the back leg. These subtle movements were not always clear to me. I learned most of this from watching our team take hitting instruction from a professional instructor. Some people will groan about paying someone to help a youth baseball player learn to hit properly. I must say years ago I was not a believer in hitting lessons. I thought I already knew all about hitting. My child has always been able to hit well, mostly due to natural talent luckily. My child was asked to play in a tournament with a travel team. This team used hitting instruction. As I watched how much it helped my child improve, I wanted to know more. The best baseball swings are usually short and compact with a smooth follow through. Most parents teach their kids to take a long stride. I was guilty of this this. I also let their arms drop down too lo …

Honus Wagner T206 - The most well-known rookie card in the baseball card collecting community, the Honus Wagner is generally treated as a work of art. It was included in the T206 set between 1909 and 1911 by the American Tobacco Company. Due to a dispute with the American Tobacco Company, between 50 and 200 cards were released to the public. The reasons behind the dispute continue to be questioned - whether Wagner didn’t want his likeness included in packages of cigarettes or whether he wanted additional compensation. Whatever the reason, this limited availability made the T206 Honus Wagner the first valuable baseball card. Today, the card remains both an investment and a symbol of stature, as many famous individuals have bought or sold the card. 1914 Baltimore Sun Babe Ruth - printed in 1914 by the Baltimore Sun newspaper, the Babe Ruth rookie card has become the second-most valuable baseball card in the hobby. This 1914 set included Ruth with his Baltimore Orioles teammates, as well …
