Here’s the question Dr. Patrick Cohn answers this week:
ISAIAH ASKS: “I’m having trouble relaxing and being calm while pitching or in the batter’s box. I feel great when I’m in the cage or in the bullpen pitching but I’m a whole different player during the game. How can I be more mentally tough on the mound or in the batter’s box during a game situation?”

Instilling Confidence in Baseball And Softball Players
Confidence, more than any other mental game attribute, is vital for your team’s success. If your players have it and know how to keep it, they maximize their success. Your team cannot reach their full potential unless each player can harness the power of stable and enduring self-confidence–so your team can perform as a confident team.
Your players might possess a ton of physical talent, have great coaching, and train harder or practice more than anyone else in your league, but if they do not have the self-confidence to match, your team can’t utilize this talent.
“Instilling Confidence in Baseball and Softball Players” program consists of one 72-minute audio CD that includes 7 days of confidence-fueling exercises. You’ll also receive a simple-to-follow 74-page coaches’ manual that guides you through the 7 team session you’ll conduct!
