Episode 18 - Dealing With Slumps
b'
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.'
