If your young athlete looks like a robot at the plate, this episode may be the most important thing you listen to all season.
Baseball and softball parents, you’ve seen it firsthand — your kid walks off the field with a new hitting cue after every practice. One coach says “hands high,” another preaches “drop the barrel,” and TikTok is shouting “launch angle” at the same time. What happens next? A confused hitter stuck in analysis paralysis — stiff, hesitant, and frustrated.
But what if there was a simple framework that helped your athlete block out the noise, own their swing, and finally build the confidence and consistency they need at the plate?
In this power-packed episode of the Swing Smarter Hitting Training Podcast, you’ll get exactly that — a repeatable, practical plan to eliminate swing overload and restore your hitter’s natural rhythm, timing, and trust.

👉 One Swing, One Cue — Swing Smarter Hitting Training Podcast
“It’s not that the advice is wrong — it’s that it’s all happening at once.”
When players receive conflicting advice weekly, they can’t internalize any of it. Instead, they freeze up, lose feel, and underperform. The solution isn’t more instruction — it’s clarity.
Forget juggling 12 mechanics. The One Swing, One Cue method focuses on ONE adjustment for multiple sessions:
🔄 10–15 swings focused on a single element (e.g., rhythm, balance, timing)
✍️ Document how it felt in a hitting journal
🎥 Use video review — but ONLY through the lens of that one cue
⏳ Stick with it for 2–3 sessions before considering a change
This method builds ownership, not dependency. It rewires confidence into your hitter’s swing — not confusion.
An 11-year-old named Miles saw three coaches in one season. Each one introduced new mechanics:
Coach 1: Launch angle
Coach 2: Knob to ball
Coach 3: Hand path
Result? Total overload and deteriorating performance.
Fix? Focusing on one movement: top-hand control and torso-barrel connection.
With that clarity, everything else fell into place naturally.
Dr. Brett McCabe nailed it:
“Athletes don’t need a hundred fixes. They need a framework to trust under pressure.”
It’s not about crafting a perfect swing — it’s about developing feel, freedom, and focus. Mental clutter is the real enemy. A hitter with 5 thoughts in their head won’t make clean contact. But a hitter who trusts their training? That’s dangerous.
