Last night I went to a tryout for a local travel team. When I was taking my BP session I could feel that I wasn't quite myself. I guess it was just nerves. I would have small spurts of comfort, blasting the ball to all fields for a few pitches, and then back to being nervous. When the tryout was finished I was offered an outfield spot on the ball club, and he said he was impressed with my swing. He told me I was very "tense" and "tight" with my swing. He also told me that I am very strong in my swing, yet my talent is extremely "raw". Everybody tells me I need to loosen up in my swing and I could reach my potential, but I am confused as to what they mean by me being "tight"? Is there any tips or excercises anybody could give to loosen up my hips in my swing and quicken my hands? Thank you so much!
