Quote:Well, that's good to hear. I always knew it was challenging to change bad mechanics, but i had no idea it was to THIS hard. An article with quotes from his QB coach in college (saw it on twitter I think?) said they're worse now than at any time he's ever known Blake. I wonder why that is? Not being sarcastic about coaching, etc, but really wondering why they've deteriorated to this degree. Odd.

What this says to me is that Blake is thinking WAY too much about his mechanics. I can only equate it to back when I was playing volleyball competitively.


I tried refining my approach and swing as a sophomore in college per my coaches instructions and it meased me all up. A big part of that was because every time I got set, I was so focused on doing what my coaches wanted me to that I was routinely hitting into blocks or out of bounds (especially out of bounds...lol) as opposed to over or around blocks into open court like I was before. Having a 39" vertical leap helped with that bit...haha.


In my case, I eventually gave up being a front row player entirely and focused on defense...which I was better at anyway.
