There's no doubt that strength training and dissecting hitting technique greatly improve a hitter's ability at the plate. There will always be a growing number of ideas to choose from for the player and the coach. With the sophistication of today's baseball techniques, however, comes the buffet of options for getting better and staying up-to-date on what's new on the hitting frontier. Whether you're a coach or a player, the mind remains the greatest tool for any baseball connoisseur. The brain takes in data like nothing else, so in effect, why not let your mind do some visualization work on these hitters in their rookie year achieving amazing feats in the game? Sometimes it's just good to see some home runs. Am I right?

Yogi Berra once said, "90 percent of the game is half mental." Our man Yogi may not have been the best with the concept of percentages, but he knew a thing or two about the mental game of baseball. Recently our good friend Donnie Moore made a visit to speak to the Royals at Spring Training. With demonstrations of strength and motivational talks, he effectively releases tremendous amounts of drive and desire. Here you'll find some great content to sharpen your mental game, unlock your inner motivation, and discover how to draw out the best work ethic of your players.
