⚾ Baseball

1. Embrace the Growth Mindset
• Example: You strike out looking.
  Instead of getting discouraged, you analyze what went wrong and adjust
  for your next at-bat.
2. Control the Controllables
• Example: The umpire has a tight
  strike zone. Instead of arguing, you focus on making solid contact with
  anything close.
3. Stay Present
• Example: You made an error at
  shortstop. Instead of dwelling on it, you shake it off and prepare for
  the next play.
4. Develop a Pre-Play Routine
• Example: Before every pitch, as
  a hitter, you take a deep breath, adjust your stance, and visualize a
  good swing.
5. Reframe Pressure as Excitement
• Example: Bases loaded, two outs,
  full count. Instead of getting nervous, you think, “This is what I train
  for—let’s go!”
6. Use Positive Self-Talk
• Example: You’re 0-3 at the
  plate. Instead of saying, “I can’t hit today,” you tell yourself, “Next
  at-bat is mine.”
7. Manage Emotions Effectively
• Example: The other team is
  talking trash. Instead of reacting, you stay locked in and let your game
  do the talking.
8. Visualize Success
• Example: As a pitcher, before a
  big pitch, you picture yourself throwing a perfect fastball on the
  outside corner.
9. Trust Your Training
• Example: A ground ball is hit to
  you in a high-pressure moment. You trust your fundamentals and make the
  routine play.
10. Enjoy the Process

• Example: Whether you win or lose,
  you appreciate playing the game and improving every time you step on the
  field.
