Following up on Cindy Bristow's excellent Blog post "Can You Actually Try Too Much," I am requesting specific techniques, comments, routines, etc... that you either teach your hitters or have seen good hitters use in order to prepare them to step into the batters box in a relaxed mental and physical manner.
DD's BIGGEST obstacle is not hitting mechanics; it is staying relaxed, confident and loose so she is able to release her bat to the ball as quickly and efficiently as possible. She knows loose muscles are faster than tight muscles but you can tell when she tightens up at the plate.
I thought the Softball Hitting Technical forum is the optimal place for this discussion.
Thanks in advance. Hopefully this thread produces some good options/cues that everyone can suggest and implement to assist their players.
