With a roster of well-known pro players on his training list, CJ is often asked what it’s like working with the likes of Jason Heyward, Callix Crabbe and Tim Beckham. CJ, who works with amateurs as well, says that the best thing about working with the pro players is that they tend to be more prepared. He requires all of his players to keep a journal covering what they work on in each session together, as well as what the players work on alone, and what they think needs more attention. Reviewing the journal is an important part of CJ’s methodology, which will lead to improvements in play and form.
Often, the amateur players don’t get the importance of the journal, and don’t take it as seriously as the pro players. Ultimately, being prepared with their journals helps the pro players with the intense training that occurs before they step into the cage, and will lead to faster improvement. CJ urges his amateur players to remember that they’re learning to hit like professionals, and they’ll be able to speed up their development by making sure they’re well prepared for each training session.
