Episode 93: Stop Coaching Swings, Start Coaching Hitters: Eye Dominance, Confidence Building & In-Game Adjustments

In this episode, Rob Crews shares an exclusive coaching session with a group of high school coaches from New York City, breaking down his philosophy on vision training, the invisible mechanics, and why swings are not hitting.

Rob talks about:

• How to identify eye dominance with a simple test—and why it matters
• The Big 3: zoning down, front foot timing, and contact space
• Why he doesn't believe in open stances
• The three timings every hitter needs to sync
• Head stability as a "camera on a tripod"—and how to train it
• Why anticipation beats reaction in less than four-tenths of a second
• Teaching in the positive: why "don't chase" is the wrong cue
• Building confidence at 8, 9, 10, 11, 12—before it's too late
• How your coaching cues become their self-talk
• Non-verbal communication and developing a language with your hitters
• Feel the game: situational hitting without overthinking
• The Swing Dynamics bat system and pregame warmup philosophy

This is real coaching talk—unfiltered, practical, and rooted in 25+ years of player development.
