Let's give credit where credit is due! Please nominate any player who "Did his job" on the field extrememly well in a single game this week.

This weekly award will go out to the varsity baseball or softball player who demonstrates the best mental skills in a single game. This means that for one game, he (or she) did a great job of playing up to his potential and giving his team the best chance he could to win. Please reply with outstanding individual performances, stating the player's name, his school (with City and State), the final score of the game, and why this performance was an outstanding display of his talent. The only difference between this and a typical player-of-the-week award is that the least talented player on the field should, in theory, have an equal chance to win this award as the most talented player.

I will select the winner every Monday, and will send that player, via his coach at school, a certificate of achievement, a free copy of my updated (with illustrations) book, Finding Your Peak Performance with Mental Skills Training, a framed poem titled "Do You Want to Be a Champion." This poem is posted on my website, and is extremely popular with players I share it with. This prize is worth $40. I will also include a note explaining how he won (who nominated him).

Good luck!

Enjoy your job. Know your job. Do your job!
