I Stay Sober

"Once I get behind the wheel I'm fine."

Ever hear a drunk guy say that? It can certainly seem true when you're the guy (so I'm told).

Pitching and hitting can both be like that, too. "I'm fine, let's go," says the spiraling player as he puts his body in position for the next pitch.

The potion that casts the spell?

Emotion.

(I've had some complaints that Tuesday went by without an update on my JCC Fighting Crusaders softball game Monday night, so I'll work that in here.)

I was committed to two things Monday night: having a lot of fun, and using a one-breath routine on each pitch.

One key for me to have fun is to open my mouth. When I get into a Yellow Light I get quiet. I get into my head.

So, powered by the leg exercise I taught the February Gym members (plus the Zumba classes I took last week), I had a spring in my step and was chattering away to my teammates as I toed the rubber.

Even before each warm-up pitch I took a breath and saw my pitch.

I was deadly.

Three times all night I got to 3 ball counts. Never walked a guy. Or a gal.

But as usual Charlie was in attendance (inside my head).

But my commitment to fun and my pre-pitch routine rendered him helpless. They became my force field, defending me from temptation, from the Dark Side. From the Red Light District.

A Charlie deodorant. Charlie-Be-Gone.

Except for twice. Twice I felt the desire to speed up, to hurry up and throw the next pitch because I was frustrated or anxious about the two balls I'd just thrown in a row, making the count 3-1 (we start 1-1).

I got emotionally tipsy.

"I don't need a breath, I'm fine once I put my foot on the rubber," Charlie said, impersonating me.

It's addictive, this emotion. It clouds your judgement. It is not easy to over come it, even in slow pitch softball.

But I did it.

Stepped off. Sobered up.

Since I was sober virtually all night (a designated driver), I was able to help teammates stay focused, even as our 15-8 lead going into the bottom of the last inning became a 15-14 lead with runners on first and second.

Teammates don't let teammates play drunk.

My new intention became "I'm going to make the next play."

There was no way I was going to let us lose. One out to go.

I was willing the next batter to hit me the ball.

I breathed. I pitched. He swung and hit it crisply on the ground to my left. The speeding ball was in slow motion. I was not. I sprang like a cat for a mouse, a lion for a newborn zebra. I was fully stretched out, parallel to the ground, like that photo of Pete Rose diving into third base. I reached my glove out for the ball.

And didn't get it.

It was too far out of my reach.

I landed with an ooof. Dirt flying. Glasses flying.

But I could look up and see well enough as Jeanie, our second basewoman, stopped the ball, picked it up, and flipped it to our SS for the last out.

I surprised myself with the guttural yell I spontaneously let out. I love to win.

I had a lot of fun that night. Playing sober is fun and it is what I want to share with others. Young men in particular, but also coaches and parents and children of all ages.

Like Bob Kapeller, 63. I got this email from him the other day...

Dear Tom: Some months ago, I purchased your "Mental Toughness Training" program. I am playing senior slow pitch softball the past six years, starting at AA skill level and the past two years at the Major level. While I have been blessed with good health and natural athletic abilities, I always felt I was falling short, somehow failing to realize the fullness of joy from the game. I now am committed to actions of proper pre-game preparation that has bolstered my game beyond my personal expectations. I played well enough to receive ALL TOURNAMENT recognition at the most recent tournament in Palm Springs, Ca. I'm a believer. It's never too late too..................... For the love of the game, I am Bob Kapeller

Attaboy, Bob. It is never too late.

And it is certainly never too soon to join my Baseball Confidence Gym. http://www.BaseballConfidence.com/Join.html.

How To Cut a Player

"It's the hardest thing I do."

Coaches: I'm sure you know what a fellow coach would be talking about if you heard him say this (even if you hadn't read the title of this email).

Parents and players, empathize with a coach for a moment.

I got a message from a Gym member over the weekend, a coach who is carrying 33 players now, and can only keep 20. He's not looking forward to the task ahead.

So, how do you cut a player? What's the "best" way?

Here are some things to think about.

I've got a book on the shelf behind me by Harvey McKay called "We Got Fired: And it's the Best Thing That Ever Happened to Me."

It's loaded with chapter after chapter of well-known people such as Joe Torre, Lou Holtz, Bill Belichick, Muhammad Ali, Jesse Ventura and many business people like Donald Trump and Larry King who were bummed out when they got canned.

But looking back it was a key event in moving their lives toward where they needed to be. They were now glad it happend to them.

I was a decent junior high basketball player, but when I made the jump to Moorhead (MN) High I got cut as a sophomore. I just wasn't good enough to play for the Spuds.

Yes, I got cut from a team called the Spuds. A low point.

But that gave me time to get into the weight room to put some meat on my bones. I'd had 3 surgeries on my right (throwing) arm from a 4th grade accident, and I used the time to build my body up for baseball and football.

Although I didn't like failing at something I tried to accomplish, it was way better for me to be cut than to languish on the bench in basketball.

Things happen for a reason. If you don't think a kid is good enough to make your team, then you have to trust that it's in his long term best interest to not be there.

He needs to learn the lesson that you make available to him by cutting him.
But one quick note: feel into your decisions. "Is this player really not good enough? Or do I just not like him for some non-baseball reason?"

You might try talking your tougher choices through with someone else. A woman who will care enough to listen and give you honest feedback is a good way to go.

Women tend to look at things differently and see different things than guys. Another baseball guy of course can be good, but a women will be focused more on you and your thought process instead of the logic of your rationale from a sports perspective.

Ultimately, the best way to cut a player is with your heart. Talk to him, tell him what you see and why he didn't make the team, and wish him well.

Don't lie. Don't give false encouragement.

You've got to model mature, powerful, manly (as in being a man, not macho) behavior.

If it is a one day try out with tons of players it's ok to post names. But if a kid has been coming to practice for a while you owe it to him to talk face to face.

How will he learn to powerfully face adversity if you don't? Put him on his way by modeling the way difficult things in life must be handled.

Much of the worst times in my life stem from when I don't face tough issues head on.
I hope it does hurt you. You're snuffing out a kid's dream.

If it doesn't hurt you're either a jerk or so evolved that you see how much you're helping him.

I Hit a Scud

Another exciting night of action for the Jewish Community Center Fighting Crusaders last night.
And another night of Inner Game fun for me.

I hit a scud missile shot past the second baseman in my first AB, but in my second I swung at a bad pitch, swung too hard, and lifted a fly to the right center fielder.

"Damn."

Charlie (my inner critic) started in on me. I could feel the black ink being released into my system.

Here's what I noticed:

I threw ball one to the first batter I faced the next inning, and as I got the ball back what do you think my mind was on?

Yep.

The fly out.

"That was a stupid pitch to swing it," said Charlie and the feelings you'd expect I'd feel with a thought like that are just what I felt.

But like last week I was able to turn it around. Awareness is key. Most players get invaded by inner pirates that hi-jack their thoughts and emotions but aren't able to

You might say, well, this is almost exactly the same email he wrote last week: Tom fails, gets cr@p from inner demons, then rallies and does well.

To that I say, "Yes, it is."

And you'll get more like it. Because I'm talking about the principle element of the art of success not only in baseball, but in all aspects of life:

Being aware enough of your own thoughts to recognize when you're thinking in an ineffective way and then having the skills you need to turn yourself around and get back on track.
To get back to a "green light" as you Heads-Up Baseball and Confidence Conditioning owners know it.

Thoughts give rise to feelings which predispose us to certain actions.

When you're mad you tend to take certain actions. When you're happy you tend to take certain other actions. When you're frustrated you tend to take other actions, and so on.

We all fly out on bad pitches a lot in life and I want to keep getting better and handling that powerfully and I want to help others do the same.

Parent after parent after coach that I talk to after they join my Baseball Confidence Gym say they want their son/player to be better able to handle adversity.

They want success now, but also see the bigger picture.

They know that if they can help their sons learn mental skills now, through baseball, they will not just have better baseball careers, but better lives all around.

Some also see that listening and watching the stuff I teach themselves not only gives them confidence that they are talking to their son's about the right things before and after games, but they themselves benefit from the steady diet of good thinking coaching.

Think Well,

I Walked a Woman

The moment it left my hand I knew it was over.

I hadn't walked anyone in 8 innings of pitching (slow
pitch, co-ed), but as the ball arced toward home plate,
well, actually, away from home plate, I knew I'd walked the
batter.

I also knew it was a woman. A women who couldn't hit it out
of the infield.

I also knew we had a 6 run lead.

It felt like a giant hand was squeezing me. I was Faye Ray
to my emotion's King Kong.

"That was stupid," my Inner Critic (Charlie) said. "Don't
walk anyone with a 6 run lead, much less a woman who can't
hit."

"Thank you for sharing that," I said sarcastically to
Charlie.

But he didn't stop.

I wanted to do what I teach pitchers not to do -- speed up.
Just get on with the next pitch. I was conscious enough to
take an extra breath before the next pitch, but I really
wasn't back to "green light" status.

As the ball left my hand I could feel my arm was short.
Tense. Coming off my fingers the ball felt as if I was
trying to hang on to it. Like my hand had let go against
it's will.

Ball 1. Actually, Ball 2 since batters start with a 1-1
count.

The negativity juice was flowing through my veins in full
force now. See, our team is new, full of people who
"haven't played in a long time" (meaning they've never
really played) and we were 0-3. We were playing another
winless team and play a 4-0 team next week, so getting the
W in this game was vital.

It's sort of addictive, negativity juice. In a twisted way
it feels good to feel bad. I get to be sooooo right about
being wrong.

Is it that way for you? Next time you feel the negativity
juice flowing through your veins, notice if you REALLY want
to get rid of it or if are aren't too attached to it to let
it go.

(My next product may be Negativity Juice. Sounds like a
mult-level marketing product waiting to happen.)

Fortunately for the Jewish Community Center Fighting Crusaders
(my team), I did not allow Charlie and his negativity juice
to hi-jack my entire vessel. They'd taken over my body, but
I retained control of the bridge (my brain).

I stepped back and did my "yellow light" routine. I got
myself back on track and starting throwing strikes again.
But it wasn't so easy. Throwing strikes in slow pitch gets
you hit.

The woman I walked scored.

"Damn you," said Charlie.

But my mental skills levee held. I didn't lose control of
the bridge. I stuck with my routine. I kept throwing it
over.

An inning later our shortstop made a running stab on a
bleeder wannabe with the tying run on third to preserve our
victory.

Had I walked one more batter...

As I talk to parents and coaches signing up for my Baseball
Confidence Gym, overcoming adversity on the field is one of
their top concerns. None of the lessons they pay for
actually teach their child how to handle pressure.

You can get a step-by-step method for overcoming failure
and adversity at no charge, just for trying the Gym for one
month.

We're only going to let 14 more of the February edition out
that teaches you how to super charge physical work outs so
you literally condition yourself to be confident and goal
focused (a great program for you parents and coaches
yourself).

This Will Save Your Neck

Story Time:

A doctor, a lawyer and an engineer were sentenced to be
be-headed by a guillotine.

The doctor was first. "Do you want to face the blade or
face away from the blade?" the guard asked him.

"I'll face the blade!" the doctor said defiantly and the
crowd roared with approval.

He put his head in the notch and stared up at the blade
glimmering in the morning sunlight.

The King nodded his head to the guard who cut the rope,
sending the blade at break neck speed (pun intended) toward
the doctor.

Miraculously, the blade stopped just before the doctor's
neck. The crowd was shocked into silence.

"This is truly a sign from God," said the King, "you may go
free Mr. Doctor." The doctor skipped off happily.

The lawyer was next. "Do you want to face the blade or face
away from the blade?" the guard asked him.

"I'll face the blade!" the lawyer said defiantly and the
crowd roared with approval.

He put his head in the notch and stared up at the blade
glimmering in the morning sunlight.

The King nodded his head to the guard who cut the rope,
sending the blade really fast toward the doctor.

Miraculously, the blade stopped just before the lawyer's
neck. The crowd was again shocked into silence.

"This too is a sign from God," said the King, "you may go
free Mr. Lawyer." The lawyer left immediately to enjoy his
good fortune.

The engineer also chose to face the blade, and now the
crowd was going crazy -- surely God was in their midst
today.

The engineer put his head in the notch stared up at the
blade glimmering in the morning sunlight.

The King raised his chin to begin his now familiar signal
to his guard when the engineer yelled "WAIT! I think I see
the problem."

I find players and coaches (and parents, and corporate
executives) often are so focused on what's wrong - be it
with their swings, their coach, their field, their
teammates, their players, their staff, etc. -- that they
are essentially unwilling to accept good things in their
lives.

Whatever you focus on you attract, so if you want to focus
on what's wrong, you'll get more "wrong."

If you focus on what's right, you'll get more "right."

We all get to choose, regardless of our circumstances.

Are you like the doctor and lawyer who rejoice in their
good fortune, who are able to enjoy their successes?

Or are you like the engineer who will make the worst of a
good situation?

Sincerely,
Tom

Don't Throw Home Without It

Pitching is the most important part of baseball, so I've devoted a lot of attention to it and I get asked a lot of questions about it.

Questions like:

"How can I constantly be locked in on throwing every pitch and how can I learn how to block everything else out?"
Dan, CA

"I have to talent to pitch at D1, but I could a lot better if I were to be more consistent by being stronger mentally."
Joshua, IA

"I struggle with mental focus and confidence during games.
Am confident in my ability but it doesn't always show on the field."
Kevin, MA

You might also ask:

What do I do if the mound is bad?

What do I do if my team doesn't score any runs for me?

What do I do if my team makes a lot of errors behind me?

What do I do if the umpire is terrible?

What do I do if we get a big lead?

How can I get through the 5th inning we we're ahead and I'm thinking I could get the win?

What should I do if my coach is always yelling at me?

What should I do if my coach is constantly trying to change my mechanics?

What should I do if scouts are there watching and I get nervous?

What should I do if I look up in the stands from the mound and my girlfriend is sitting next to a guy I know is hitting on her?

Well, ultimately all these questions have the same answer:
focus on your pre-pitch routine.

A routine is a set series of physical and mental steps you take each time before each pitch. It's a "success recipe" that you follow on each pitch. Like a food recipe, following the specific instructions repeatedly should give you consistent results.

You really see them in basketball on the free-throw line. Bounce, bounce, bounce, breath, pause, shoot.

You really seem them when you look for them in golf. See the shot, feel the shot, trust it.

Consistency rules the baseball performance world and the way to be consistent is to consistently take the same actions, and think the same thoughts that consistently lead to your best performances.

Your pre-pitch routine: Don't Throw Home Without It.

How To Keep Your Cool

I just hung up with a guy who invested in the full year of
the Baseball Confidence Gym. As we chatted he talked about
his son, a pitcher...

"Mistakes get to him. His eyes sort of glaze over.

"Last year he gave up a HR on a change up and he was
thinking about that pitch the rest of the inning. Instead
of giving up 1 run, he gave up 4. If he can get to where
when bad things happen it's just on to the next pitch, just
forget about that last bad pitch -- he'll be great."

That is sooooooooo common. A player gets upset about
something that happened on one pitch and as a result screws
up the next several pitches.

I call it spiraling out of control. If you've read Heads-Up
Baseball you know it as running yellow and red lights.

He may be throwing one pitch physically, but mentally he's
throwing two or more.

To be as good as you can be in baseball, you must learn to
play one pitch at a time.

And the thing I love about my work is that it goes so far
beyond baseball. Dealing with adversity and stress is a
vital part of success in life.

I hung up a few minutes prior to this call with a client
who is a director at a major corporation here in Tampa. He
said they had a "major event" at their company 2 weeks ago
that has turned the place into a fire drill since then.

I simply reminded him of some of the mental skills he's
learned from me (some breathing and perspective shifting)
and he said, "Oh, yes, they've helped me stay above the
fire. I'm actually handling it fine."

That's what a player must be able to do. That's what a man
needs to do when he's done playing baseball. He must be
able to keep his cool when all those around him are losing
theirs.

That's a natural ability for some. But those people are
rare.

That's a learned ability for the rest of us.

The beauty is now you can choose if you want to simply wait
until you pile up enough failures to learn how to deal with it,
or if you want to use the latest, most powerful mental tools available to
dramatically speed up your learning curve.

The guy that just invested in his son did more than just
help him be a better baseball player. He's helping him be a
better man.

How do YOU handle adversity? What happens to you
physically? Emotionally?

Having the awareness of how you respond is a nice first
step toward becoming skilled at performing when the
pressure is on.

Stay Focused,

Dr. Tom

Today I'll dip into the mail bag. Here's one from NewJersey:

--------------
Tom,

I have always been a good hitter. I hit .456 as a freshman, .357 as a sophmore (with a broken finger....long story), and I didn't play my junioryear because of injury. My summer team made it to the WorldSeries in New Mexico after winning States and sweepingregionals. The problem is all of my coaches tell me that Ihave to relax, that I have a huge mental problem.

WheneverI am in the field with 2 outs and a close game, I neverwant the ball hit to me, although I know I am a greatfielder. With less then 2 outs, I am excited when a ball ishit to me. When I'm batting, I never want to be up with 2outs because I always make the last out. I would tell myteammates, 'You better hope I'm not up with 2 outs, becauseI always make the last out.' Then I would go out andproceed to make the last out of 3 innings. Going into mysenior year I really want to fix this problem because I amplanning on trying to walk on to a D-1 school (was not ableto play in front of coaches b/c injury).

Chris, NJ
----------

Two-outophobia. That's the technical term for this.

It's an inner dragon that must be slain.

The whole thing is made worse if your coach is telling youto 'relax,' and telling you you have a huge problem.

The short answer is two fold: you need to focus on what youDO want, and you need to condition your mind differently.'Install' a new belief system in a way comparable toinstalling a new software on a computer.

Let's back up a bit.

One thing you need to realize is that what you focus on youattract. If you fear making the last out or making an errorthe Baseball Gods will do everything they can to make sureyou do.

Your mind becomes a magnet for whatever you focus on. It'sas if you are sending out a request to the Baseball Godsthat you WANT the ball hit to you.

Our minds don't do 'Don't,' 'Not,' or 'No' very wellbecause our mind works in pictures. In order to picture'Don't hit it to me' it has to picture the ball being hitto you in order to put a red line through it.

Don't think of a pink elephant.

SO when you are thinking 'don't hit it to me' you are ineffect sending out the message: 'hit it to me.'

Ironically, that's exactly what I do want fielders thinking.

However, you're imagining yourself blowing the play. Yourmind is a great servant -- it takes what you imagine as arequest, just like a genie from a bottle.

If you imagine yourself making an error it is as if you aretelling your mind/genie: 'This is what I want you to do.'

'Yes, Master!' your mind says, and it follows your command.

It not only does everything it can to attract the ballbeing hit to you, it will do everything it can to make sureyou make an error!

So you tell me, what could you do that would be a betteruse of your Genie?

Then the issue becomes conditioning your mind so that youhabitually think effectively, powerfully, positively.

That's done over time.

You've thought these negative thoughts so much now thatyou've grooved them into your physiology. They are a habit.We have habits of thought just as we have habits ofbehavior.
Essentially, you need to imagine over and over what you DOwant to have happen.

Repetition is the mother of skill. It is the creator ofhabit.

When the pressure is on in a game your habits take over.Your conscious mind usually checks out and habits run yourbehavior.

How do you create a new habit?

I think you know.

I hope this helps, Chris. I hope you take action on thesethoughts. I can tell you love the game and it would be atoo bad if you didn't slay this two out dragon you've gotgoing on.

Moral: Use your Genie wisely.

Only time for one more letter:

'Confidence Conditioning has allowed our players to putpractical concepts on mental discipline into theirroutines. It has given us coaches a tool to keep our ourplayers more focused and our concentration levels at a peaklevel. All of our players have gained a new insight to howthey respond to different adversities and what they need toto do internally to overcome such adversities. TheConfidence Conditioning program is a great supplement tocoaching our players and a positive resource in getting ourplayers to reach their maximum potential!

Garrido: "Confidence is What Matters"

Augie Garrido is head coach of powerhouse Texas University and a source for much of the learning of Ken Ravizza and myself on the mental game of baseball.

He's also a big proponent of our book, "Heads-Up Baseball: Playing the Game One Pitch at a Time."

He has a lot of coaching philosophy lines I like, including this recent one.

"[Confidence] is what matters," Garrido said, as if it were the secret of life. "How the player sees himself probably has more to do with who he becomes, who he actually becomes, than his talent or his skill"

Why Pros Fall Short

An interview on the Huntsville Stars (AA) homepage
underlined for me where most professional teams fall short
in their training and player development...

(Interviewer) Pollock: "The emphasis in the minor leagues is on player
development but there is some importance placed on winning,
how important was it, how much can the players learn from
the battle through adversity in a tough first half that
lead to a second half division title?"

Sandy Guerrero (Hitting Coach): "The minor leagues are for player
development, both physical and mental. When you develop
their physical abilities well, their confidence grows and
along with it, their mental approach to the game is more
focused. It is what is called a winning attitude."

I totally agree with Guerrero on this. When you get better
physically you do tend to gain confidence.

This is the approach most commonly used in baseball. There
is nothing wrong with it, many championships and great
players have been made with it.

But I consider it the "Old School" approach. They get to
some degree that the mental game is important, but don't
focus on it directly.

To me it's like playing Play Station 1 when you could play
Play Station 3.

I don't have PS3, but I see it on the HD TV's in stores.
Wow. Very cool. The images are so realistic (in their
unrealisticness).

It's a dramatic performance improvement from my favs Pack
Man and Galaga. I hit Donkey Kong pretty hard, too.

Adding mental training, what I mostly refer to as
"Confidence Conditioning," to the physical training you
make a quantum leap in performance. Instead of jumping over
rolling barrels, you can be invading far away planets.

Instead of hoping confidence comes along with the physical
training, you can train for it directly.

So please start using the tools you learned it my "5 Steps
to Unstoppable Confidence" program (fr*e) at
www.FreeBaseballConfidence.com.

I want to you to hurry up and get skilled enough that you
see the benefits of going further with it.
