A TRIP TO PARADISE

A few years ago I worked with the University of Hawaii, Honolulu, baseball team who was hosting an Easter tournament. Seven teams participated, all with good or great records. Hawaii entered with an 8-18 record, but finished SECOND in the tournament, with a 4-2 record. What had been the problem? My analysis? Attempting to pitch, hit and field out of the left side of the brain. Why the sudden and almost unbelievable success? Using simple HEAD GAMES techniques to get the players to play out of the right side of the mind, or in the zone.

The pitching immediately became awesome and hitter after hitter came out of slumps. The team had scored in double digits only once in the season, but scored fourteen runs twice in the tournament. If a player is to reach maximum potential, he MUST stay relaxed, aggressive and focused on one pitch at a time, whether at the plate, on the mound or in the field. HEAD GAMES can get you in the zone and keep you there.
