We need to remember why we are standing at the plate Whats our purpose? The target is always fluid and we need to identify it and focus. The hardest part I think is the time from when the ball is thrown to moment you need to choke down and swing. It's the waiting game, the anticipation of whats to come. With experience we will be able to hit the ball over the GREEN MONSTER. Sorry Cubs fans. The journey is preparation for the destination! HUM!

You said it well, Matt: "...be prepared to anticipate..." 1. Remember why you're standing at the plate. 2. Identify your target 3. Stand readied and balanced with anticipation 4. Aim for the scoreboard. nicely done. you gots me thinkin'. a swing and a miss!
