		<title>Getting in the Right Mindset at the Plate</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The HEAD GAMES methodology is exceedingly simple and fun to use.  This simplicity is an  absolute requirement if an athlete aspires to attain the "seventh heaven" of Baseball Excellence.  If there are those who desire or have tried complex theories, which are doomed to failure, I hope that they would follow the advice and testimonial of an athlete and businessman that I worked with, who has a PhD in chemistry.   This great guy was a  skeptic as to the power of the right brain in  performance, until he tried it, and the results were astounding, both as a pitcher and as an engineer.  Make this your best season ever.  Playing relaxed and focused guarantees right brain play and success.]]></description>

		<title>Why Would a Coach Hate the SwingAway?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
&#8220;Doc&#8221; Pollak, a NJ legend with a record of 1018 lifetime wins, talks about the hitting machine that causes him headaches, because it makes his job as a pitcher that much more difficult. However, as a hitter, Doc couldn&#8217;t love the Swing Away more.

		<title>How to Be Consistent in the Game</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When a player is "hot," it is imperative that he not pressure himself to maintain that pace.  If so, he starts trying too hard, thereby switching the mind to the left hemisphere, where trouble is certain.  Solution?  Leave your mind on automatic, and keep positive HEAD GAMES within your control.]]></description>

		<title>Hitting with Full Extension</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There are many coaches that teach contact occurs at extension.  Video has disproven this statement.  Making contact just before extension allows the hitter the ability to hit through the ball.  If all the mechanics are done correctly, you will have the proper extension.]]></description>

		<title>Using Proper Breathing Techniques</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A focus on breath connects and harmonizes the mind and body, while relaxing both.   This centering puts the mind in the zone or right hemisphere of the mind, which allows for greater performance efficiency.  When ready for play, then the centering or focusing is on the ball or on the target which keeps you in the zone.  One of theHead Games is RELAXATION  through abdominal breathing.  Begin by exhaling  to a slow count of four while forcing all air out of the lungs by sucking in the belly.]]></description>

		<title>Having a Simple Approach at the Plate</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I get numerous requests from those who want me to analyze mental performance methodologies with which they are experimenting with or plan to try.  In all cases, thus far, they require thinking during performance, which is diametrically opposed to the HEAD GAMES approach.]]></description>
