Description: One Leg Loading (ELITE MOVER WORKOUT)

This workout/drill collection is for elite movers and people whom spin off the ball and kings forward with no control of their forward move

- Get close to the wall and rapidly make small tosses and catches into the wall while balancing on one leg 
- The leg you balance on is the leg closest to the wall 
- Focusing on core and ankle stability

- 10 REPS EACH LEG… YES EVEN THE SIDE YOU DON’T HIT FROM

Single Leg MB Stability Toss

You are feeling yourself coil energy into the back hip and the back leg becoming one fused unit (not breaking by loading into your knees and toes but loading into your heel and back hip). The tilt I’m demonstrating will help you get the bat on plane early when swinging at high speeds.

Coil and tilt (FEEL)

Don’t shift your weight forward and learn to swing from one leg. This drill will help your body understand how to move your body/pelvis properly.

One leg Swings

Coil into the back hip from an opened position. Balance in the back leg while holding the tension created from the coil. Then continue to hold the tension as your load forward and swing

Open 45 to balance to swing

- Start with front foot elevated in yoga block (or anything that elevates the front foot) 
- Pre set the load into the back hip
- Control the load forward without falling into the front leg

Yoga block loading

- Start with feet close together for easier balance 
- Lift front foot off the ground and feel the load into the back hip 
- Emphasize a small pause (1-2 seconds) with leg off the ground 
- Control the stride forward without crashing into front leg

Hover loading

- Controlled underhand flips are a great tool to add movement to the pitch in a controlled environment while working on new swing changes and feels. 
- At this point of the workout, I want you to try a couple (or all if you’re feeling up for it) of the tee drills you were working on on the first few round or two of flips. 
- After the feels and mechanics round, go to closer to your game swing and set up/load while keeping in mind the feels you just created in previous drills. 
- REMEMBER- the goal is to get better at game like swings. Don’t get too caught up on the drills and try and use them to blend into your game swing! 💪🏼

Underhand Flips

- Time to compete!! 
- Game like mentality
- Game like loading and approach
- GOAL- Hit doubles and low line drives while blending in the new swing mechanics or feels you’re working on.
