Hi,
We are now ready to start our mental toughness training for the 2012 season.
After tomorrow (3/17), all 13u-17u players will have received a copy of the book "Play Big" by Dr. Tom Hanson. Tom has worked with the Rangers and Yankees. His program, Play Big Baseball, won the best product award at the Baseball Coaches Convention (ABCA) in January.
If you have not received a copy of the book, please stop by ASP to pick up a copy. For players outside of the St. Louis region that have not received a book, we will mail it to you next week.
We are going to run this program during the HS baseball season, for the next 8 weeks.
The video lesson program can be accessed through the Gamers website in the Skill Clinic section. You need to log in to get to the Skills Clinic:
user name = Gamers2012
password = stlgamers
Follow the links to the "Play Big" video site.
So, you will have three learning sources at your disposal -- the book, the Workbook and the videos.
We are going to follow the lesson plan outlined in the Workbook and video series.
The first assignment, to be completed by April 1st:
Lessons 1, 2 and 3 in the video series and Workbook
Read pages 1-76 in the Play Big Book.
The second assignment, to be completed by April 15th:
Lessons 4, 5, 6 and 7 in the video series and Workbook
Pages 76-103 in the Play Big Book
The third assignment, to be completed by May 1st
Lessons 8 and 9 in the video series and Workbook
Pages 103-170 in the Play Big Book
The final assignment, to be complete by May 15th
Pages 170-251 in the Play Big Book
When you have completed each assignment, send an email or text message to your coach letting him know that your are fulfilling your responsibility to become a mentally tough baseball player. This is an important part of our program, and can ultimately make the difference in your success on and off the field. Please take it seriously and complete the assignments on time. Thanks,
