My son is 13 years old and has a fear of getting hit by the ball. We found this out because when he goes to hit he quickly shuffles both feet out of the box. He didn't know he was doing this until he saw himself on tape. The result is weak hits that never make it to the grass, generally gets thrown out at first. We've put the 2x4 behind him with some success but im trying to find something that will replace the negative thoughts in his head. He doesnt have a particular occassion where he got hit he just has a subconcious fear of getting hit.
