by Curt Ickes (Author)

Many baseball players ignore the mental game. The result: prolonged slumps, eroding self-confidence, high levels of anxiety, and inconsistent performance. The game is no longer fun. It is a struggle. In Mental Toughness: Getting the Edge, Dr. Ickes teaches you not only what to do to develop a great mental game, but how to do it. This book provides a blueprint for developing a mentally tough personality and putting this mental toughness in action during game situations. Using proven techniques, Dr. Ickes helps players learn how to achieve the optimal mental state during the "instant of performance." Topics covered include how to play tough-minded baseball, coping with failure, improving concentration, reducing anxiety, and building and maintaining confidence. Written in a clear, understandable manner, this book also provides exercises and drills to help you play your best baseball. A great mental game is what makes players great.
