mental training sites and/or books 1 reply

What are some of the best sites for mental training and or books that some of you may have read. I see Peaksports.com, if it's really good it is probably worth the price. (which I think is substantial if it's just OK). And I see others as well.

As a coach, and more specifically a Dad, I have problems reaching kids on the finer mental points of the game (baseball). There seems to be something that I'm not doing, or am doing as it is, that isn't letting my son see his best potential. His ability is above average, but his mental toughness (confidence) is lacking at times. I'm not a professional coach, I have coached for years, but I see that I'm deficient in the mental areas of the game.

There are several questions on here in the archive that deal with confidence, nervousness, fear of failure, trying to achieve perfection, etc., but I was hoping yall had seen some others that you had thought were really good.

I have played pro ball for 16 years and the best techniques I've found are presented at www.breakthroughperformance.net
Baseball is a good way to present these things and definitely sharpens your mental game for life.  I was introduced to these techniques by Steve Wells of Australia when I was playing winter ball there 10 years ago.  It's a life changer.  Feel free to email me if you have more questions.

Steve Well's site www.eftdownunder.com

I can also give a player's perspective on how to help the mental game using this information and others.

Best,
Pat
