Hey ya'll...
I would love to hear some discussion on mental toughness and peak performance. It's referred to a lot on the Web, but I have never come across any applications or practical tips to aid in the pressure on a pitcher.
My daughter is tough to begin with, but if the momentum changes (errors on the field, back to back walks, if the catcher is allowing pass balls or dropping them), she can be hard on herself despite our supportive looks or words.
I have been searching for resources to help her in this area. We can say all the right things, but it doesn't help. I believe it is the crowd's expectation of her and her expectation of herself. It seems once the spiral begins she loses that confidence. I would appreciate as much feedback as I can get...
