So I suggest you help him let go of trying so hard and start to react to the target and trust his motion--instead of complicating something he already knows how to do.

He is in the middle of an anxiety issue that frustrates both of us. He is an excellent pitcher but a week ago got pulled out after an inning because he was throwing wild pitches. Since then its gotten worse. He sometimes can't even throw the ball to his intended target - throwing way over it. This actually happened once before about 2 years ago. He got over it but it took a few weeks and was pretty embarrasing for him. I think I understand the issues because I think I feel it from time to time. I play drums in a large church and feel the pressure sometimes. What I don't have a clue about is how to help my son deal with this right now. How can I help him overcome the extreme anxiety and move past this - plus are there preventative methods for the future. Any help is appreciated.
