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.
