HIT BOOK

Your coach fills this in with you. This is your personal reference card — know it cold.

Your coach assigns this after each session. One focus. Not five.

Run this every time before you swing — whether at home, at the park, or in the facility. Check as you go.

• Hip mobility — leg swings, hip circlesGet the lower half loose. Timing lives in the hips.
• Thoracic rotation — torso twists, arm circlesYour rotation drives your barrel path.
• Shoulder band work — external/internal rotationEven 10 reps with a band protects your arm and shoulder long-term.
• Breathe — slow it down before you pick up a batOne slow breath in, long slow out. Your nervous system resets.

• Set ONE intent cue before picking up the batWrite it in Section 3. Walk in with a thought, not a blank mind.
• Middle of zone — feel for your swing todayThis is your barometer. Don't chase perfection, find your baseline.
• Adjust based on what you felt — don't muscle through itIf something's off, identify it. That's the work.

• Ball in motion — now your timing is being testedThe tee is about feel. Toss is about timing. Different job.
• Mix it up — inside, away, fast, slowVariability is the point. Your brain is learning to recognize, not memorize.
• Quality reps only — stop when feel breaks down50 bad swings doesn't build anything. 10 great ones does.

• Game-speed reps — commit to your timing planNo adjustments at the plate. Trust the work you did in the first two phases.
• Track what pitches you're on time for vs. what fooled youWrite it in Section 5 after your session.

Fill this out after every game. This is your real data. Bring it to your next session.

Use these the night before and the day of. The mental side is half the game.

• Watch one EV Classroom resource below that applies to tomorrow5 minutes of intentional review beats an hour of random YouTube.
• Visualize 3 good at-batsSee the ball. See your timing. See the result. Feel it.

• What pitch am I looking for first? Write it.
• What's my timing cue for today?
• What's my reset if I get fooled in the first AB?
• Cage work — one cue only. No mechanics tinkering on game day.Trust what you've built. Game day is not the time to rebuild.
