What’s your plan for developing the skills you need?

Have you ever had or been that teammate who complains and blames? I have been that teammate. And I have had lots of them.

So let’s move to the remedy? February-April is the phase of development where I intentionally create an environment of pressure and stress in my Hitting Lab to prepare my hitters for competition and increase their skills.

Consider these four things about skills:

1. Lack of skills can cause you to complain and blame because of shame
2. Skills come from training rather than practicing
3. Skills are things you repeatedly do without thought while under stress
4. Skills pay the bills

What hitting skills do you have? How are going to develop the ones you need?
