At some point, you become your own coach, video 'guy', strength and conditioning expert. Part of that demands using exceptional resources like the video above.
If you have to watch it five times, do so. Take notes in your notebook. Every exceptional player has a journal or notebook. Study and take notes with the purpose of impacting the game.
Karch Kiraly breaks better "pin hitting" into three parts - let's call them CPA - checklist, preparation, and answers.
The checklist is primarily knowing the blockers and having a "bail out" plan instead of just slamming into the teeth of an excellent block. "Plan your trade and trade your plan."
Preparation is simple. Effort. Extreme effort. I've rarely thought that effort was a limiting factor in outcome.
Answers. Young hitters seldom have a "portfolio" of solutions to call upon to score. Your offseason mission is to acquire "leverage" of more ways to score.
- Full force attacks
- Camouflage and tip
- Cut shots. "Thumb down"
- Fingertips (of blockers)
- Push off the outside blocker
"Figure out" how to do more with less height, less vertical, or less strength and still find ways to score.
Lagniappe. Study tape. Here's the D1 final. Can you read the hitters, read the block?
