Week 2 - Load Phase,   Character Building- (Respect - 1 Peter 2:17)

​

Load Drills - Watch Introduction Video

(Rock the Baby No Bat), (Feet together stride drill), (One Hand Load Drill), (Step Back Drill), (Tall, Fall, Fire Drill) (Slow to fast drill).

 

Practice Plan - Focus on quality practice - do not rush.

​

Day 1 (Monday)  - Focus on loading with separation into a good launch position. Hands stay/work back as stride foot strides forward, your chest should end up pointing toward your back foot/leg. Make sure not to over rotate to where the pitcher could see both numbers on your back. - Record yourself and upload to OnForm for feedback. Short video 1 to 2 reps of you doing the following drills.   

  • Rock the Baby No Bat - 20 Reps

  • Feet Together Stride Drill- 10 Reps

  •  One Hand Load Drill - 10 reps

  • Step Back Drill- 10 reps

  • Tall, Fall, Fire Drill - 10 reps

  • Slow To Fast Drill  - 10 reps

 

Day 2 - (Tuesday) Rewatch Introduction to week 2 video in OnForm and do Mirror Work.  No Swings required for this day but feel free to do so.  (Can be done indoors / in a bathroom mirror, or full length mirror)  If you don’t have a mirror, set up your phone/tablet to show your body as you work the drills.  (Focus on getting separation between your hands and front foot as you stride.) - as you stride, focus on pressing your belly button back during the load in order to land chest to the plate in launch position with shoulders angled down and head centered on the body in a good launch position with each rep.  (Video Tall, Fall, Fire and Import to share with Coach Swisher)  

NOTE: When doing mirror work a swing is not needed, the focus is to slow down and focus on your posture in your stride to landing at launch.
