Hitting Intentions

Hitting Intentions

• The word intent is tremendously important in all aspects of hitting. Here are some questions you can ask yourself:
• Do I have clear cut intentions regarding preparation and game performance or do I just wing it?
• Is my ingame intent to drive the ball and do damage or am I content to touch it?
• Do I have the proper intent based on the game situation?
• Do I deliberately practice a deficient area of my mechanics or do I just swing hoping to improve?
• Are my practice swings done with the same effort level as the game or do I tone it down based on the number of reps?
• Is my intention to be the best I can possibly be or is good enough, good enough?
• Am I easily discouraged or are my intentions and focus strong enough to break down and build new habits over time?
• When working a particular piece of the overall swing can I focus on that single issue or are my intentions on the results?
• Is my intent to clear up clutter and work with a clear singular thought mindset?
• Is my thinking external during the game?
