In Major League Baseball, pitchers, on average, throw around 60% strikes. While we can easily understand that a pitcher will not throw 100% strikes or 100% balls, we tend to believe that they should be 100% mentally focused all the time, but that is just not the case. Similar to balls and strikes, there is a balance players need to achieve for high performance. Whether it’s balancing distractions with focus, negative thoughts with positive thoughts, or excuses with accountability -- a player's mental game is a dichotomy of opposing forces. We tackle these topics and many more as we dive deep into the mental game. Join us as we call Balls and Strikes.
n this episode we are diving into habits and we will be discussing how James Clear in his book, Atomic Habits, recommends we think about habits. This is where the rubber meets the road. It’s easy to set goals or think of desired outcomes, but it’s the daily habits that are more challenging to be consistent with. But, as James Clear, suggests - habits are the compound interest of self-improvement or with the way that we think about it - player development. Interested in training?
