Episode 18 - Dealing With Slumps
Slumps are a reality in baseball. But, mentally tough baseball players are able to limit and contain slumps. Mentally tough players have 3 game slumps, other players have 3 week long slumps. We discuss four steps to limiting and containing slumps:\r\r1. Maintain perspective - slumps start and end. \r2. Maintain your confidence. If you don't feel confident, then at least act confident.\r3. Relax - don't put extra pressure on yourself. Don't try hard, instead try easy.\r4. Contain the slump to just one part of the game. If you are in a hitting slump, leave the slump in the batter's box. Don't tale your slump onto the mound, or onto the field with you.\r\rRemember - everyone has slumps. The secret is to make them short and contained.
