Ideas for Winter Hitting Training

This month I'm going to be talking about winter hitting training and what you can do to prepare for the new season.

We just received our little league signup sheets in the mail today, isn't it great?

On the other hand one of my other sons just called from college in New York and said they had their first snow flurries, so for some of you keeping your motivation toward being a better hitter takes more of a commitment than others. You have to get really creative.

Recommit to being a good hitter this year

1. You can learn something new or work on a weak area. Now's possibly the time to learn rotational hitting if you haven't tried it yet.

2. Get your hitting muscles stronger, condition yourself to play longer and stay in shape through the whole season.

3. Watch Baseball movies or visit websites that talk about the game you love to keep the fire burning.

A special deal on learning

So the goal would be to get the proper information and training then practice it daily over a long stretch of time, like the 2 - 3 months you have between now and the beginning of the next season.

I'll provide the information you need. Here's a special deal for you.

If you've followed me all year, you realize I only discount my products once a year.

NOW is that time. So if you've been thinking about buying my video on how you can hit the best, either with the rotational swing or fixing up your linear swing, or my book on "How to make All-Stars", or my audio CD interview with 12 time ASA national championship coach, Phil Bruder, on his hitting style, then now's the time, because I've marked them all 1/2 OFF!

But the Sale ends Friday, so don't delay.

These are perfect information products for those of you who need to know how to perform at your best or for your hitter that you want to see take their game to the next level.

Rush over to https://www.theinternethittingcoach.com/black-friday.html before this Friday to take advantage of the great deals.

Get your hitting muscles stronger

I know many of you couldn't fit it in to your schedule, but the good news is they recorded all of it on to DVDs, so now you can bring the clinic into your home. These are professionals that work with major league teams and players talking about and demonstrating what muscle groups need to be excercise and for how long to get the most out of your performance next season.

This is the perfect winter hitting training, especially for those of you who might be home bound until the spring. Check out the information on the DVD's of the Major League Strength Coaches Performance Clinic.

Watch this Baseball Movie and others

Try watching one of the many great baseball movies that have been made.

The last one created I mentioned a few months ago when it came to theaters, but it was only there a week or two so even I missed it, but it's now out on DVD and it's wonderful.

It's called "The Final Season". You will not be disappointed in watching this. It's a true story about a small high school (110 students, half boys) that has won 19 state titles against many of the state's much larger schools playing their final season due to the school closing.

If you're a coach you get a great tip in the first 10 minutes. There's lots of good baseball and healthy small town values in this film, so put it on your to watch list.

You can also travel the Internet watching old highlight films from ESPN.com or MLB.com.

You can also join social networking sites that have common interests in baseball or softball where you can talk with other like minded individuals.

One such site I joined was Twitter http://Twitter.com/CoachAndy, so some of you had already seen some of these tips above and you got a head start on my sale https://www.theinternethittingcoach.com/black-friday.html so if you too want this and other information that I don't put in the newsletter then go to my Twitter page and "Follow Me" and check back occasionally and you should see 3 - 4 thoughts per week or more.

Thanks for reading and talk to you next time.
