A question I often ask ballplayers: What is the most important time during a game? Answers I often get are the beginning of the game, the last few innings of the game, or any big moment in the game. All good answers, but all wrong answers. THE MOST important... time of the game is the time in between pitches. Ballplayers should be looking to win this time by being in complete control of their breath, self-talk, and focus. As the great Ken Ravizza would often say, “You have to control yourself so that you can control your performance.” Well, when you control and WIN the time in between pitches, you drastically increase your odds for success, especially if your competition isn’t doing that. So, the next time you step on the field, be on purpose with what you do in between pitches. Your results will no longer happen by accident…they will happen by intention. *The same applies to the time in between shots, plays, etc., based on whatever sport you play.show more

The 10-15 seconds in between pitches are the most important time of a baseball game. All ballplayers should be looking to win this time. The best way to do that is having a set pre-pitch routine that they execute every pitch. A pre-pitch routine is simply what players do on a consistent basis in-between pitches. Most importantly, it’s how they breathe, focus, visualize, and talk to themselves. This is what helps them take control, keep it simple, and compete with all they’ve got ONE pitch at a time.

Hitting starts WAY before getting into the box. Below are 6 steps that will lead to more consistent hitting… 1. I believe it all starts the night before with a good PM routine leading to a good night of sleep. Know that a great day today started the night before. 2. Have a solid pre-game routine and be consistent with it. (cage work, BP, standing in on bullpens, visualization, journaling, nap, etc.) 3. Know when your at-bat starts so you can segment the game and turn up the intensity of your focus. Is it when you’re in the hole, on deck, when you put your batting gloves on? 4. When you’re on deck, act like you’re in the box. This time is crucial to take control of your self-talk and breath, and get in sync with the pitcher. 5. Walk with big body language to the plate. Whether you are 10 for your last 15 or 0 for your last 15, carry yourself like the most confident version of you at all times. 6. Have a solid pre-pitch routine. Utilize your breath and make sure your self-talk is directing your focus to what you WANT to happen, rather than what you HOPE doesn’t happen. The great part about these steps is that they are all 100% in your control. Be great with them, and you will win the inner war, and you will become a much more consistent hitter.

Most players think the game is won when the ball is in play. Elite players know it’s won between pitches. Before every pitch, it’s key to have a routine where you take control of your breath, body language and self-talk, all of which will lead to greater present-moment focus.

The next time you make an error or any type of mistake during competition, use this simple 3 step Reset Routine to quickly bounce back. Step 1: Before the game, draw a reset button under your hat. You can also draw it on your wrist tape, on your glove or wherever you’d like to. Step 2: After an error, take off your hat and take a deep breath while pressing the reset button. This will help you gain control and stop any downward spiral from starting. Step 3: Take control of your self-talk by repeating “hit the next ball to me, I will make this play”. This may be the most important part of it all. Know that it’s all about having a routine to go to, not if, but WHEN adversity comes your way. So, the next time you inevitably fall short of your expectations, utilize this Reset Routine and you’ll be ready to make the next play.

🕰️ Make time your friend. Be the ancestor of your future happiness Poet David Whyte on 'How I Write' with David Perell: "All of us can remember a moment, a threshold moment in our existence where you picked up the phone or you went out the door or you put yourself out to have a conversation. You asked for a gift or funding for your work as you did, you know, and you were granted it. And if you hadn't have gone out the door, if you hadn't have picked up the phone, if you hadn't have asked, your life would be immeasurably impoverished today. So you could actually, well, you could actually go back to the person you were in that moment and thank yourself in a way as making a pilgrimage back to that moment." We imagine time is our enemy: "Time makes fools of us all" "I ran out of time" "There's not enough time in the day" Relating to time in this other way befriends it. Rather than cling to the moment, you jump into the flow of time and realize that now is the opportunity to be the ancestor of your future happiness. Now is the only time. What will you do today for your future happiness?

Win the next game one possession at a time. You have to move on from adversity, and you have to move on from success. In a game, you are going to have a lot of both. The people who can focus on winning the next play have a better chance of winning the game.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar shares the greatest lesson that Coach Wooden taught him about winning, losing, and effort. "There are disappointments for any competitive athlete because you can't win all the time." "Coach Wooden taught us that you can only come out and give your best effort. That's all you can do." Focus on what you can control. "The outcome is not determined by anything that you have control over. Only thing you have control over is your effort and then the effort of your group, your team." You can't control the outcome, but you can control your input and how you show up. "When you put together a good effort consistently, you have a chance to win." "As long as you put your best effort out there, you should be satisfied with that and not be down on yourself." Excellence is the habit and the mindset, not the destination. The goal is excellence in everything you do: Compete, commit, and always look to get better. (🎥 Academy of Achievement)

Matt Painter shares a masterclass on emotional control and why it's the difference between winning and losing. "There are certain things you absolutely can't control." "I ref our practices by myself and I never run. Think about how many times I'm out of position and I just guess. I always tell them that." "They say, 'Coach, you missed this, you missed this.' I said, 'Learn to play the game. Move to the next play. Don't be emotional. That's what a real player does.'" Learn how to focus better and master the next-play mentality. Then he called out what went wrong: "Emotional people in basketball and in business - they're not good decision makers. We got emotional there." Frustration is understandable. Letting it control your decisions is a choice. "Worry about what you can control. There are certain things we could control tonight that we didn't do a very good job of and it has nothing to do with actually playing the game." "Very fortunate to learn a hard lesson and still win the game." You have to be able to manage where you focus. The refs aren't always right. The calls won't always go your way. Control your emotions or they'll control you. (🎥 Boilers In The Stands)

Most people choose belonging over accuracy. The desire to fit in overpowers the desire for truth. "A lot of the time, people will tell you, “Don’t care what other people think about you,” but we all care what other people think—often for very good reason, which is that if people think well of you, it benefits you in life. It puts you in a good position; you are rewarded for it. It helps you accomplish things. It makes you safer. It just feels good. Belonging is a critical part of being human. However, especially in the modern world, the desire to belong can often run counter to the desire to understand or be accurate. If you have to choose between “I could believe this thing and be ostracized or criticized or outcast from my community” or “I could believe this other thing, which may not be that accurate, but it will get me praised and rewarded and accepted by my community,” a lot of the time, the desire to belong overpowers the desire to understand."

I just think winning was a result of a lot of great process. You can't control the outcome all of the time. You get motivated by the losses. You stay motivated through the winning. What you can control is your process. You control the work ethic, the consistent discipline, your attitude, your culture, how much you care.

So much mental game gold here from Scottie Scheffler after winning The Masters. My takeaways: 1. Preparation builds confidence. Want to go into anything feeling more confident? Know deep down that you prepared as best as you possibly could. Having a personal ‘Checklist for Success’ of the things you do that are 100% in your control that leads to the best you showing up is huge here. 2. Process over Outcome mentality. When we are ruthlessly focused on our process (the action steps that are in control), the outcomes we want (not totally in our control) come our way as a by-product, especially in the long run. 3. Feeling nervousness, anxiety, fear, etc., is normal when competing. All athletes experience those emotions, especially in big moments. The best of the best have learned how to use those emotions to enhance their performance, rather than be held by back them. When you combine all of that, you allow yourself to find out how good you can be and you more and more consistently show up at your best, when it matters most. Scottie being the best in the world is not on accident. It’s clear that he’s very intentional and on purpose with how he approaches the mental side of the game.

It is so important to recalibrate your journey to what is maximally important. There is wisdom in knowing that your time is so very precious. There is wisdom in gratitude for the time you have. Time appears as a free gift given to you, but this gift is often discounted.

“You cannot be in control of your performance until you can be in control of yourself. Thats the key to these games in my opinion.” I have had the privilege of working with Jim Schlossnagle since April 2006. His commitment to the mental game has been consistent and intentional every step of the way. A good reminder: The results you are getting are PERFECT for the process you have in place. Jim Schlossnagle and his Texas A&M Baseball team have identified a process to stay consistent, play one pitch at a time and focus on the controllables. The separator? They have stayed committed to their process. It is one thing to identify a process... It's another thing to execute it on a day-to-day basis regardless of what is happening. He mentions that the first thing they do at Texas A&M Baseball, at the start of fall is review the mental game and emphasize routines and the importance of playing one pitch at a time. "Mental skills are something we practice. We invest a lot of time, effort, and money into mental skills. Mental skills can be practiced just like physical skills can be practiced." Success leaves clues. Good luck to the Texas A&M Baseball as they take on the Tennessee Baseball in Game 2 of the College World Series final today. #OnePitchWarriors

Pete Crow-Armstrong says being locked in 100% of the time isn’t elite focus, it’s a shortcut to burnout “You’ve got to be excited to go out there every inning. It’s important to take some moments off, not take pitches off, but the time in between pitches.” “If nobody’s on… I’m letting my mind wander. I’m looking up into the bleachers… Seeing who’s there.” “You’ve got to check out sometimes… So you can lock it back in.” “If you are locked in 100% of the time… You’ll burn out in a couple weeks.” “Other sports don’t have the luxury of our pace of play. It’s a different motor for sure.”

🚨 Baseball is a Frustrating Game! • The work often isn’t reflected in the results… • All you can control is your response to the “bad days” ⭐️ Keep showing up. Keep stacking days of hard work and laser focus. Keep being inevitable!
