Helping Baseball Players Get the Competitive Edge

I specialize in getting players get past what's holding them back and bringing out their best under pressure in competition, even if they are choking, in a slump or completely burned out.

My major focus is helping pitchers lower their ERA

That's because, in pitching, it's all about hitting a target - the catcher's glove.

At its most basic level, nothing else really matters - not the other players, the screaming fans, the announcer, the media, past experiences, etc.

What holds pitchers back is a problem with their mental game

that they focus on those other things and not doing what they've successfully done hundreds and thousands of times before. That's a problem with their mental game.

I can fix that problem, fast, and I guarantee it

The results are more strikes, less base-on-balls and a lower ERA.

That means throwing your best to any batter, in any inning, to any team, on any field - under any circumstances.

That's how you get the competitive edge

And that's what can skyrocket your career.

How's your pitching mental game?

Think about it. A pitcher's job is to throw the correct pitch and hit the catcher's glove (the target), just like in practice. That's why you throw thousands of pitches in practice, so you can replicate that in competition. In fact, with the adrenalin from being in competition, you should actually improve the speed, power and accuracy of each pitch.

But, when that doesn't happen, that means your expectations and imagination are derailing you.

Are you having trouble pitching to a particular player, team, during specific innings or in other pressure situations?

Do you worry about your last pitch or your next pitch?

Do you find yourself thinking too much about aiming when what you should be doing is throwing?

Are other parts of your life controlling your performance on the field?

Do you think you have untapped speed, power and accuracy inside you that's just not coming out?

I can help you overcome all of these obstacles, quickly, and boost your pitching performance dramatically.

If you are ready to get rid of what's holding you back, bring out more of your potential and make the most of your talent, then call me: (916) 802-5897.

As with all of my services, you get fast results, guaranteed.

Solutions for batting - higher batting averages

When you are at bat, your job is to hit the ball (the first target) and send it to a specific location (the second target). To do that, you practice hitting every kind of pitch with many different pitchers. That way your brain learns the patterns to respond automatically, since pitches come too fast to think about what to do.

But, when you focus on the pitcher instead of the ball, when you worry about past results or future consequences (or when you are distracted), then your flow is cut off and you don't get the result you've spent so much time preparing for.

Are you in a batting slump?

Are you having trouble hitting against a specific pitcher?

Is there another situation where you can't hit the way you think you can?

Are you thinking too much instead of letting your hundreds or thousands of successful hits drive your bat?

These are all problems with the mental game that I can fix, fast, with my five-step mental coaching method.

If you want to get rid of what's holding you back and send your numbers up (or back up) to where they belong, then call me: (916) 802-5897.

What About Sports Psychology for Baseball?

Light years beyond visualization and positive mental attitude

Visualization and positive mental attitude can be helpful *if* there are no mental blocks holding a player back. If there are, then all of the visualization, mental imagery, affirmations, positive mental attitude, etc., etc., etc. aren't going to fix it.

It's kind of like trying to drive a car with one foot on the brake and saying "come on, car, go faster!" Great intentions, but you aren't going to get the results you want.

How I can guarantee fast results?

My baseball mental game solutions are all about solving a mental game problem, which can be specific (such as a problem pitching or hitting to a particular player or team) or general (being in a pitching or batting slump).

I think of my solutions as I did when solving problems in business - specify the problem, choose the right tool to solve the problem (mental training tools in this case), implement them and then test the result.

By incorporating hypnosis (and other mental training tools) into my five-step mental coaching method, I can complete that process in a matter of days, instead of weeks, months or years and lets me give a 100 percent satisfaction guarantee.

I can usually help a player overcome obstacles and improve performance in three-to-five mental coaching sessions.

Stress is an area that can limit or even end careers. We're often taught that if we feel stressed, we should just "suck it up" and "deal with it." But, that's easier said then done and if you want to consistently play at a very high level, you need a way to relieve and control negative stress. I have solutions for that, read about them here.

Chronic pain is another area that plagues ballplayers. Even if it is safe to play, it hurts so much you can't play your best. I have solutions for relieving and controlling chronic pain, read about them here.

Continuing peak performance throughout the season

My Peak Performance Program for baseball is all about building and maintaining *consistent* peak performance throughout the season. I use the word consistent because every player has spontaneous flashes of brilliance. Consistency is what wins games (and builds careers).

My program includes first overcoming any problems with the mental game that are holding you back.

Then I use my mental game tools to improve your speed, power and accuracy (with measurable results) under pressure.

At that point, the two of us get together as needed to fix any new mental game problems that come up and to periodically tune up your mental game. This can be done before crucial games, during off time, if you are on the DL or even if you've been sent down for rehab.

That helps you bring out your potential, get peak performance on demand and get the competitive edge.

That's winning the mental game.

Imagine how that can improve your career and your life. Is that what you want?

What's holding you back in competition?

Are any of these holding you back?

• You're choking under pressure, you're in a slump or burned out

• You're having trouble competing against a player, team or coach

• Something always seems to "set you off" and ruin your performance

• You've got the "yips" (involuntary shaking) or live in fear of doing so

• You have an "unlucky" field

• Something is holding you back from moving up to the next level - from the minors to the majors, from relief to starter or from a good contract to a great contract

• You can't get a bad experience or accident out of your head

• You are facing less playing time, being demoted or released

• Chronic pain from injuries is holding you back

• Anger is affecting your ability and performance

• You're about ready to give up baseball out of frustration

Using my mental coaching method, I'll troubleshoot your mental game problems quickly, get you past what's holding you back and get you the solutions and results you want. You'll get fast results and I guarantee it.
