MENTAL SKILLS TRAINING

For Baseball Players

Are you performing up to your potential?

This is a question I have posed to baseball players from college field houses to major league lockerooms. The common answer to that question is “No.” So, I ask them, what are they doing to do about it?

90% MENTAL

Most baseball players are hesitant to look inside the mind as a way to improve performance. It’s really easy to work harder in the weight room. It feels good. The benefits are tangible. It’s really easy to work on mechanics or to look at video. Those activities are needed but they also put more emphasis on the body than the mind….. Baseball players need to realize, when it comes to performance, there is a mind/body connection.

What are you going to do about it?

Ninety Percent Mental

AN ALL-STAR PLAYER TURNED MENTAL SKILLS COACH REVEALS THE HIDDEN GAME OF BASEBALL

Make no mistake; thoughts become things. If a pitcher thinks, “don’t walk this guy” or a hitter thinks, don’t swing at the slider” and allows that thought to occupy his mind, the thought will lead to that reality. As a result, your focus will be not on the execution of the next pitch or seeing the next pitch but on the emotion from the distracting thought. This takes focus away from the task at hand.

The Power of Language

August 14, 2018

There is a Japanese proverb which says the tongue is 6” long but can take down a man 6’ tall…… our words- spoken and unspoken are incredibly powerful. One of my pet peeves when it comes to the language pitchers use is how they respond to the question, “when you are pitching” – the majority of pitchers at any level, will respond by saying, “I am throwing” tomorrow.

Perception and Performance

June 13, 2018

I have talked with many pitchers over the years who admit to me they always try to be perfect on the mound. By that, I mean they want every pitch to be located with precision, every play to be made behind them, every call to go for them.

Silencing the Inner Critic

April 5, 2018

Sometimes the greatest enemy we compete against during competition is not our opponent, but the thoughts bouncing around in our own mind. I would dare say that when you look back at your best performances and you’re worst performances, the biggest difference between the two was the variation in the way you talked to yourself.
