5 Exercises for Tight Hips 1. Mountain Climber 2. Rollover V-Sit with Reach 3. 90/90 Hip Switch 4. Groiner 5. Cossack Squat

A great example of how weighting the front leg removes the rear leg load. Also, a great example of ‘limbo’….the period of time between losing the rear leg and gaining the front leg. If the ball gets on you during limbo you can’t swing. You’ll rush.

This moment with the Moneyball music gives me chills. Baseball is beautiful 😍

Tom Brady, on believing in yourself 💬 “I was a backup quarterback on a 0-8 freshman high school team, and I didn’t play. We didn’t even win a game, and I couldn’t even play”

The best timing in the game? Ready at release, Bobby. 🙂🙂Waiting for whatever comes. SNAP!!

Trout on Mentality Hitting is Hard “One thing on your mind, Square Up the the Baseball.” Mental Game

2 PrePitch Movements here. Both moves are athletic, efficient, & effective! 1. Step Right, Split - 3B 2. Right, Left, Hop - SS One’s not necessarily better, rather personal preference. Try them, see which works for you. Note: Infield in, I prefer #2, Infield back, I prefer #1

Bonds loading the top half while turning his lower half as he is striding. He is rotating on his back leg before he bares weight on his front side. It’s more or less like wringing out a wet wash rag.
