River Edge, NJ (PRWEB) March 6, 2008 -- Hitting a baseball is one of the most difficult tasks in all of sports and getting into hitting slump can be quite frustrating for players, parents and coaches.
If you can equip hitters with good mental and physical skills during Spring training, you can help them to prevent themselves from getting stuck in a slump that lasts a long time and can ruin a season and a chance at a pro career or a scholarship.
Jay P. Granat, Ph.D., Psychotherapist and Founder of www.StayInTheZone.com gets calls every week from players, parents and coaches who are concerned about a hitting slump.
"My kid is a great hitter, but he has lost his confidence at the plate."
"He was hitting the cover off the ball, but he got nervous when the scouts were watching him."
"The coaches have a 'if you don't hit, you sit' policy. This seems to unsettle my kid."
"Ever since I was hit by a pitch, I can't get comfortable in the batter box."
A great hitter needs to be relaxed, focused, confident and optimistic when he steps up to the plate. In addition, he needs to know how to think smart when he steps into the batter's box.
