Hitting Drills and Philosophies with Coach Mark Mckenzie
$19.99
Hitting Drills and Philosophies
As a coach, it's important to teach philosophy on all matters, pitching, fielding, catching and in this matter; hitting. Coaches want to provide direction, set goals and install a vision. As well as motivate, confront and communicate. The idea of a hitting philosophy is to have a grasp of how to approach each pitcher before each at bat. Although it may be an individual thing, hitting philosophies start from the beginning, like choosing a bat that you can handle. They should match your strength and ability, length and weight.�
�
There are a variety of techniques that Coach Mckenzie uses to promote an effective baseball swing. Learning how to separate pieces of your body through hedges and swivels. Moving your hands first or hips first are some of the keys to separating your body's rhythm. It depends on how your body works. Improving your fundamental biomechanics can significantly help you become a better hitter.�
�
In this course, Mark �lunch� Mckenzie talks about batting 101 and the philosophies he practices to improve batters' game.
