Step 3: Make the List
I will give you a few examples of what players will write down.
Again, it HAS to be simple. If they start listing 10 different things a day, that won't be sustainable, They will only accomplish some of their daily tasks and, eventually, get frustrated and quit.
They're going to do this every single day.
Example:
Hitting Blueprint
1/24
-
Eat breakfast
-
Say hi to someone at school you normally don't talk to
-
Take 10 swings.
-
Lift weights for 1 hour
-
Watch 10 minutes of video on hitting.
Okay, so how does this help hitters reach their potential?
-
Eat breakfast
-
Say hi to someone at school you don't talk to
-
Take 10 swings.
-
Lift weights for 1 hour
-
Watch 10 minutes of video on hitting.
We're getting them to build confidence.
If I said 100 swings, that would only sometimes be repeatable
Something will come up with school or family, and they won't be able to do it, leaving them discouraged.
They can take 10 practice swings every day, no matter what.
This isn't saying that you can't take more than 10 swings or only watch 10 minutes of video; it's saying that you're at least going to do that.
You can keep these the same for day 2 and continue with them until they become a habit, or you can change them.
Here are some more examples:
