In the episode, we discuss:<br />\n<br />\n* Focusing on fundamentals and adding pressure<br />\n* What each player needs when they lose focus<br />\n* Going through the focus funnel before each\u00a0pitch<br />\n* Focusing on the controllables<br />\n* Playing Softball Olympics to get the competitive juices going<br />\n* What&#8217;s causing them to get distracted and how to use cue words to focus back in<br />\n* How to utilize deep breaths<br />\n<br />\nToday&#8217;s freebie!<br />\nThis worksheet is straight from the Mental Training Foundation course: in\u00a0Control. Use the Refocusing With Cue Words worksheet to help your players regain their\u00a0focus faster. First, identify the mental error that occurred\u00a0(a mistake that normally wouldn&#8217;t happen if they were on their game). Then figure out why they lost focus and what their mind was stuck on. Finally, find a cue word or short phrase that can help them refocus on the task at hand!<br />\n<br />\n<br />\nWant unlimited access to all eight mental training courses, a community of like-minded coaches, and the ability to ask us questions about implementing the mental game?<br />\nLearn more about the Mental Sweet Spot Academy<br />\nDream Team Programs!<br />\n<br />\n\u00a0<br />\nDid you enjoy this episode/the show in general?
