History is an important part of our lives. We talk about past experiences remembering the good and the bad. History helps us repeat or refrain from past decisions. But, as an athlete we have to make sure that we do not dwell on negative past experiences.
As athletes we need to live in the present. Clear your mind, focus on the task, and let your preparation take over. In a sport where failing 6 or 7 times at the plate makes you a great hitter, you have to condition your mind to stay focused on the positive and the present. Live in the now! There is plenty of time to prepare your mind before you step into the batters box. The mind is a powerful tool. You have to train yourself to make it your ally, not your foe.
Prepare, be positive, and focus on the present, a quick an easy reminder before you step into the box, or step out on the field.
