Reply to "Player Confidence"

Try thinking "what's the worst thing that could happen to me during this at-bat?" The answer would probably be that you could pop up or strike out, and you have survived those events before, and lived to tell about it, right?

Even the best players in the world have bad at-bats about two-thirds of the time! My son likes to use focusing techniques similar to Evan Longoria's; when Longoria gets upset or nervous at bat, he focuses on the left foul pole intently and it helps him calm down and clear his mind. I think he explains how he does it in an ESPN interview that may be on youtube. Good luck this season!
