    We will use Right View Pro as a visual training tool to teach the proper components of the swing.

    This camp will also focus on the mental requirements neccessary to be a productive hitter.
    To do this, a player must be able to understand her role as a hitter and the type hitter that she is.
    With all that said, it simply means that with every at bat your role as a hitter is constantly changing as the game dictates and the coach directs.
    Your position in the batting line-up, changes at each at bat depending on the inning and the game situation.
    A game is ultimately won because of all of the things that happen collectively, and as a team.

    Not by anyone individual player.

    Your role as a player and your ability to fulfill that role determines the outcome not only for you but for the team.

    Ability establishes what you can do, and gets you on the team.
    Ambition determines how much you do, and gets you into the line-up
    Attitude guarantees how well you will do, and how much you contribute to the team, and keeps you in the line-up.


    We will also focus on understanding the difference between the strike zone and the hitting zone.
    This is the key component in preparing yourself for success at the plate.
    I hear coaches all the time speaking about the strike zone!
    Why is that a problem?
    Well, a strike is a negative - it's a call against you.
    The strike zone itself is a negative.
    Worrying about that zone makes you a tentative, passive hitter….. "Should I swing, maybe not"?
    Too much emphasis on the strike zone has batters thinking about what they shouldn't swing at - any ball outside the zone - which can lead to way too many called third strikes.

    Think of your Hitting zone instead of the Strike Zone.
    It's an emphasis on generating positive results.
    It puts you back in charge of the situation.

    The hitting zone can be anything you want it to be.

    This camp filled up very quickly last year, and I expect the same interest.​

    Hope to see you there!!​
