I teach seven parts of the swing, which includes:
- Stance/Load
- Timing
- Tempo
- Tracking
- Approach
- Contact
- Extension/Finish
Did you know that it takes 3,000 reps to build a habit? That’s seven parts of the swing and 3,000 reps to build a habit for a total of 21,000 reps.
To get 21,000 reps this fall (August-October), it will require both hard-work and heart-work.
As you get the 21,000 mark, commit to trying new things so that you can determine what works and what doesn’t. When you do, you can have a productive winter workout (November-January).
For me, the heart is similar to the engine of a car. The good news is that an engine can be built and fine-tuned thanks to good thinking. Check out my previous blog.
The heart is fueled by passion, purpose and grit.
- The Latin word for passion is suffering.
- Purpose is your reason for doing something.
- Grit is the relentless pursuit of purpose.
There are millions of boys that dream of becoming Major Leaguers, but the reality is that only those who are willing to work hard using their heart will be able to make that dream come true.
Make sure that your head and heart is full this fall.
