WEEK 1: STANCE
Teaching Phrase: "Athletic and Comfortable"
THE MISSION
The goal is to create a repeatable starting position. A poor stance forces the body to "fix" things mid-swing, leading to inconsistency.
Week 1: Freeze And Check
Drill 1: Freeze & Check
The hitter jumps into their stance and the parent yells "FREEZE!" Check for bent knees and proper balance.
Drill 2: Step-In Swings
The hitter starts with their feet together, steps into their stance, and swings.
