Mental Performance for Pitchers
We can be on point with our physical preparation yet in game results often don’t resemble the work we have put in. That’s baseball. It’s a tough game. The older a player gets, the more this will happen simply because everyone is getting better. A players needs to be resilient, able to persevere and be gritty for longevity. Notice that none of those have anything to do with their physical ability. They all happen between the ears. When players fall apart in competition the popular answer is mechanics. When you dig deep into who that player is, what they know about themselves, what they know about the game and how they prepare, there are often holes, distractions, poor self image/talk and misguiding voices around them.
The goal of this four week course (classroom style) is to lay a foundation for future success, on and off the field. We will break down the delivery, understand the do’s and don’ts, the why’s and how’s, learn the anatomy of the arm, how to take care of it, what pain versus soreness is and how to diagnose what you’re feeling. We will get in depth on routines and physical preparation and why it is so important to be religious with them/it. We will talk in game strategy, what to look for in the hitter, how to get them to do what we want them to do and how to minimize/eliminate walks. Most importantly, we will discuss emotions. Why it is so important for us to be the mentally toughest on the field. How our team feeds off our attitude and how to notice when our mind isn’t where it needs to be and ways to get it back.
