Most hitters focus on the swing.
The problem is that the swing is only one part of the hitter.
In this private audio briefing, Mike Bard introduces The Flagpole — a simple but powerful framework used with players from youth baseball through the Major Leagues. The Flagpole explains why performance rarely breaks in just one place, and why trying to fix mechanics alone often makes things worse.
The hitter is made up of four connected pillars:
the physical, the mental, the emotional, and the spiritual.
When one pillar weakens, it quietly weakens the others. When hitters learn to check all four, they gain clarity, stability, and ownership — even when results fluctuate.
This audio also introduces a short, repeatable self-check hitters can use every day (or every 48 hours) to stay grounded, aware, and in control of their development.
This audio is for:
Players who want consistency without overthinking
Parents who want to understand why performance swings happen
Coaches who want a clearer framework without adding complexity
Anyone who believes development is more than mechanics
This audio is not:
A lesson
A drill
A mechanical breakdown
It is a way of thinking — one that helps hitters run their company more effectively.
