Good hitters don't chase 'more reps'. They chase an environment that challenges them.
Find a cage with hitters ahead of you.
Watch how locked in they are.
Watch how they train with a purpose.
And try keep up.
You get better because you HAVE to. It's the standard.
The best room isn't where you're the best. It's where you're behind, and are forced to KEEP UP
It'll be uncomfortable at first, that's where growth happens.
----
Nobody tells you the hard part about a better room.
It's not only the reps. It's your ego, too.
You won't be the standout for a while.
Not the best in the drills, not the best in the the metrics.
Most guys can't sit in that, so they go back to the room where they're the best.
It feels good.
Feeling like the best and getting better aren't the same thing.
So if you're not the best in the cage environment right now, good. Stay there.
Keep up long enough and you turn into the hitter everyone's chasing.
