Shane,
John was one of the first athletes to go public with his use of a psychologist, and I'd say he broke the ice. Lots of pros now have someone to help them with the mental side of the game.
John has spoken numerous times about his belief that his psychologist helped save his career. I believe he was coming off a big injury and couldn't get past it on the mound. Mostly a mental problem, not physical. Guess he had developed the yips?! At any rate, he credits his psychologist for the turn around and his long career. Good luck to you! I hope you find someone you jive with and who can talk you through.
