The “Quick Fix” you’re looking for is five plus years of consistent, focused practice paired with a progressive overload strength program. If you want it bad enough, you’ll learn to enjoy the five year “Quick Fix”

Pitchers throw harder than ever in todays game. If you don’t train hitters to handle this velocity, you’re hurting the player Seeing high velocity in training can remove velocity as a tool for pitchers and force them to beat you with better stuff @AscentAthlete_

After years of hearing “just make contact”, teaching athletes to swing with intent can be a challenge. Here’s some of the tools I use to build intent: ⁃Punching Bag - break it in half ⁃Plyo Balls - must swing hard ⁃ @blastmotion - swing faster @AscentAthlete_

Coaching cues included “No ground balls” and “swing fast” Here’s the result. Don’t over-complicate youth development. Make it fun, make it challenging. @AscentAthlete_

Long term athletic development is key for training youth players. Jumping and sprinting are athletic traits that will translate to any sport. Hopefully they stick with baseball, but if not, they’ll be athletic enough to succeed in another sport @AscentAthlete_ @Dono__SP

1 year apart. No lessons. No quick fix. Nothing easy about it. +4 mph bat speed +5 peak EV, +7 avg. EV + lots of strength Crush your training. Show up every day. All the success you want is a few years of hard work away. @AscentAthlete_

Crazy how using external cues can develop a swing as good, if not better, than any mechanical cues. Oh wait, it’s not crazy. It works really well. Build an environment, describe the expected outcome, sit back and watch them achieve it. @AscentAthlete_

My 5 year old’s swing in slow motion. We started last spring. No movement coaching. The cues I use with him: “Swing fast” “Hit it hard” “Hit it back at me” “Smash it” We also rarely hit off the tee. 95% of our time is spent hitting underhand flips or overhand BP.

Your round of 6-8 doesn’t always have to be 8 swings. If you feel great after five, go ahead and end your night with those positive vibes. @AscentAthlete_
