Dustin Ackley getting mindset right, swing to follow

Posted Feb 24, 2014
Dustin Ackley really likes where his swing is right now. But he likes where his head is even more. If there’s one thing Ackley’s frustrating struggles as a pro have taught him, it’s that the connection between his mental state and his performance is acute. “I don’t care how good your swing is, if your mind’s not 100 percent all in to what you’re doing, you’re not going to be successful," he said.
