Excellent video. Not only are you talking about good baseball skills but good life skills. This gives a player a process to be mentally stronger. The mind tells the body what to do. As Henry Ford said, whether you think you can or whether you think you can't, you are right. I encourage players to write down their goals. Goals written (not typed) are more likely to be achieved. I encourage players to write (not type) 3-5 "I will" statements before each game or maybe even practice, such as "I will focus on the task at hand. I will have a good at-bat." By doing that it is positive reinforcement and focuses them on what needs to be accomplished. Thanks for sharing.
My big brother knocking me out twice sparring taught me that this is the worse that it gets and i didnt feel it! After that i improved and never got knocked down. You learn from competing against stronger and faster opponents. You learn quickly too.
Excellent presentation Dan!
Thank you kindly!
Thanks coach! Just got into baseball and it seems a great metaphor for life !!
Great video. Thanks for posting.
Wrestling through junior high school is the answer. Work ethic, athleticism, physical and mental toughness. 5 yrs,of organised wrestling will expose your child to the mental and physical adversity that it would otherwise take a half a lifetime to experience. #chosensuffering
Lots of great soldiers wrestled. Very disciplined people.
This helped, a couple months ago I was the Starting pitcher for my high school team (I'm a Freshman) and I walked a TOTAL OF 12 BATTERS in 3.1 innings, then after watching this video,in my next start I went 5 innings 1 walk and 1 earned run. Baseball is mostly a mental sport.
its very, very far from mostly mental, but the mental part helps.
@@DanBlewett Maybe not mostly but the rest of the ship sinks without it imo.
sure, but the idea that baseball is mostly mental discounts just how physically hard it is, and how many players fail because of their skills, not because of their mindset. Glad you're improving your mindset though!
Yogi Berra said, “90% of this game is half mental.”
If the boo birds dont hype you up and if the cheers dont then you need to get a new activity. Crowd reaction got my adrenaline flowing!

Thank you.
You're welcome!
Tom Seaver didnt make his high school team in his senior year. He learned how to lift weights in the Marine corp and kept getting stronger and became a Hall of famer. Rest in peace Tom Terrific!
Allowing 10 and 15 goals as a pee wee goalkeeper was a great lesson. Ok...this is as bad as it gets and if i play and work harder i will improve. And i did and made the All star team.
Thanks for the video. We always need more mental pitching coaches…what do you usually tell the pitcher when you go out for a “mental health” visit on the mound?
this video should help: th-cam.com/video/VvrwnIn1tJ8/w-d-xo.html
Thanks!
thanks so much!
Great content. Hope you come to Cleveland. Give a shout if you’re traveling through.
" You cant hit and think at the same time." ----Yogi Berra
Dan, what I don't understand is when pitching coaches go for a mound visit after a pitcher just struck out a hitter or got a ground ball out and seems to be in a rhythm. Doesn't that interrupt their rhythm and take their mind and focus off the task at hand, which is the next pitch and the next hitter? What are your thoughts about changing pitchers in the middle of an at-bat?
I’ve never changed a pitcher mid-at-bat nor would I ever unless for injury. It’s awkward for everyone. I’ll have strategy visits regardless of what happened beforehand-even a good result like a strikeout-if it’s a critical moment and the pitcher and catcher and I need to review something. In those cases I usually hustle out, talk fast and hustle back in. Rhythm is important, but it’s not everything. If we assume pitchers are so fragile that a 60 second break will cause them to start pitching poorly...then we haven’t trained them well enough anyway. They have to be ready to adapt. The umpire could dirt in his eye and take 4 minutes to flush it right in the middle of a pitcher’s no-hitter. He has to roll with it.
@@DanBlewett Thank you for your response. That's a good answer, especially the part about hustling out there, saying what you need to say, and hustle back. A pitcher has to control what he can control.
@@DanBlewett : i really enjoy your videos.
I would normally agree to never change pitchers mid-AB. Then I watched the end of the Texas A&M @ Louisville Super-regional in 2022. The Aggies were up 4-3, bottom 9, runner on 1st, no outs. They had a full count on a guy, but he had fouled off 4 of the last 5 pitches in the at-bat and it felt a little bit like the starting pitcher was losing it. Coach brought in a new pitcher on the same batter, got the 3rd strike. Then he got the next 2 guys and sent A&M to Omaha. It was incredibly bold, but the coach broke from the typical approach and it worked out.
Coaches should teach the rule book. Lots of players do not know the rules! Games are lost this way.
Athletes are such creatures of habit. Some call it ritual others superstition.
