> Hi. I am 16 years old and playing high school baseball. I have recentkly noticed that I have a habit of inhaling as I load and holding my breath until the I swing. As I swing, it seems that I normally exhale. This seems bad to me because I know a prime goal is to stay smooth and relaxed. But at the same time, it seems like an explosive way to hit the ball. Just like weight lifting, It seems like it could be good to exhale as I exert force. I really dont know about this one. What does everyone else think? Help is appreciated :)



The key is what type of results are you getting through your method. Stick with what works. You might be setting a standard from which someone else can benefit from.
