I’ve created a new ebook: “Winning Baseball from the Inside
Out: How to Do 10 Things Champions Do — Instructions for Players, Coaches and Parents”
And I want to give it to you.
But first I want to acknowledge someone who has gone beyond reading about the mental game and has applied the stuff and become a champion at baseball coaching: Gary Hatch.
He sent me this email yesterday…
======
“Thanks for your efforts. I read everyone of these hummers [email coaching tips] – I have copies of your book for my Baseball Theory, Play and Strategy class I teach here at the High School – it is amazing how much better my guys are as a result of practicing the mental side of coaching – playing every day – at least 5-15 minutes daily
- it is another tool in the tool box – every bit as important as the skills and drills section of the box! Not enough coaches take the time to understand its fundamental strengths – pretty powerful stuff.
“We just came off winning a State Championship this past weekend – Washington State Champs! Much of our success I attribute to our mental training – most all of it has come from you and Ravizza. You guys are tops!
“I have been privileged – honored to be named the USA Baseball Youth National 16 and Under head coach this summer.”
Gary Hatch
======
Congratulations, Gary. Way to go.
Imagine the scene — Gary’s team jumping around on the field after winning the State Championship.
Our National 16 and Under team is in good hands.
My new ebook is about how to have experiences like Gary’s.
Of course, many factors go into winning a championship (lets start with talent), but you can’t win a championship without a strong mental game.
Here are the 10 things you’ll learn how to do in my new ebook, followed by the barter deal I’ll make with you.
1. How to Put Your Head in Your End (and why that’s good)
2. How to Master *The* Crucial Parenting Skill
3. How to Gain Control of Anger
4. How to Succeed with Baseball and Babes
5. How to Not Choke
6. How to do it Like A-Rod Does it (when he does it)
7. How to do it Like Barry Bonds Does it
8. How to Watch a Breath-Taking College World Series
9. How to Tap the Power of an Elevated Environment
10. How to Think Like a Hall-of-Famer
My commitment is to help as many players, coaches and parents as I can learn to use their minds to dramatically improve their performance, have more fun in baseball, and learn life-long skills that will enhance their lives beyond baseball.
To help me do that I’m willing to give you this new ebook as a gift — you can download it moments from now — if you’re willing to give a gift to people you know.
When you signed up for these emails you got “5 Steps to Unstoppable Confidence” and “Jeter’s Confidence Secret.”
(if you didn’t, here’s how to get them)
Here’s a link that will enable you to give those no cost programs to friends of yours, and in return I’ll give you my new ebook.

p.s. “Winning Baseball from the Inside Out: How to Do 10 Things Champions Do” contains some of my favorite material I’ve ever written.
I suggest you print it out and put it somewhere that you’ve got a few minutes to digest a chapter at a time.
Success is Calling You…
“BRRRRIIINGGG!”
The ringing phone knocked me out of a deep slumber. I
looked at the clock: 1:47 a.m.
I was too young to have a call at that hour scare me.
Nothing could have happened to my kids since this was years
before they were born.
I was too old to have it be a friend goofing around. By 29
most of the guys had slowed down quite a bit.
I mumbled “Hello.”
“TOMMMY!” said the unmistakable voice of Ken Ravizza. It
was a couple of years before we wrote Heads-Up Baseball
together, but we were pretty good friends and had logged
some important conversations.
Ken was on his way home from a night working with the
California Angels. He ended up working with them for
something like 15 years before management changes ended the
streak.
That’s an amazing streak, to be working with one pro team
for that long. Lasted through a few managerial changes –
very rare.
“You know what’s funny?” he said. “No matter what I talk
about with these guys it always comes back to playing one
pitch at a time.”
He’d known this for years.
He’d taught that for years.
But it hit him at a new level tonight and he was so excited
about it he wanted to share it with someone who might
understand.
“Every conversation I had tonight in the locker room,” he
said, “came back to playing one pitch at a time. No matter
what’s going on for you on or off the field, the best thing
you can do is get totally focused on this next pitch and
give that your full attention.”
We talked for about a half an hour, enjoying the present
moment we were sharing.
Nothing’s changed since that time (circa 1993). No matter
what, once the game has begun, the key to success is being
focused on the present moment.
How do you do that, though? Anyone can SAY “just focus on
one pitch at a time,” but how do you do it?
Would you tell a 10 year old to go out and bunt if you’ve
never taught him to bunt or given him a chance to practice?
How about if there were a few hundred people in the
audience and I told you to go pole vault 10 feet right in
front of them? Would you be excited about that? Would you
even do it?
You have a basic image of how to pole vault, but wouldn’t
you prefer to first be taught how to do it and then spend a
lot of time practicing it before you have to do it under
pressure?
You can tell players to play one pitch at a time, but that
doesn’t mean they can do it.
My two new programs: Dominate! (pitching) and Zoned In!
(hitting and defence) teach you how to play baseball one
pitch at a time by developing a simple pre-pitch routine.
They then teach you how to practice them and give you score
sheets for you to track your progress.
They make baseball coaching much simpler.
They’ve flown out the door since I launched them Monday,
and I’m having a party on Friday at noon to celebrate their
birth.
I’ll be making a bold offer, I’ll be answering ANY and
EVERY question you have about the mental game of baseball
(or life for that matter)

P.S. All of life comes down to being fully present in the
present moment,not just baseball. The skills you or your
players or your kid learn from this program will help him
til he’s in a rocking chair on the front porch enjoying his
90th birthday.
As important as shortening his hand path might be now, it’s
not a life lesson he learns.
Learning to let go of failure, frustration, anger, or even
over confidence will help him in all areas of his life for
the rest of his life.
If you’re at all interested in any of the benefits I’ve
described (fun, better performance, greater satisfaction &
fulfillment, pride, joy, winning, etc.), register for this
teleseminar. You can listen any time and it qualifies you
for the most amazing offer I’ve ever made.
I want to make this super duper easy for you to try these
programs and then decide if you want to invest in them.
I’ll be making what some might say is a bold offer, but I
know how great the value of these programs is so I’m not
worried that I’ll get burned.
So sign up, then ask me your toughest, most important
question, then either call in a noon Friday (you’ll be able
to win prizes during the call), listen online to the web
simulcast (saving you any long distance charges) or
download it later and listen any time.
Baseball Coaching For Consistent Excellence
Calling all players, coaches, and parents looking for
CONSISTENT confidence and focus on the field…
baseball coaching and playing just got a lot easier.
No matter what the situation is — you’re ahead, you’re
behind, you’re hot, you’re in a slump, you feel great, you
feel terrible, you’re healthy, you’re injured, your coach
likes you, your coach hates you,
the field is great, the field stinks, the sun is out, it’s
drizzling rain, it’s your first game at a new level, it’s
the last game of your senior year,
you’re at a showcase in front of tons of scouts, you’re
playing another fall ball intra squad scrimmage, the girl
you like came to the game, the girl you like didn’t show
up…
NO MATTER WHAT…
My bottom line coaching to players is to go out and
*execute your pre-pitch routine with the will to win.*
The mental game rubber meets the physical game road at
pre-pitch routines.
But what is a pre-pitch routine? How do you develop one?
How do you know if you have a good one?
How do you coach players into developing rock-solid
pre-pitch routines?
How do you change your routine as you gain more experience
with it?
That’s what I get asked about all the time. That’s what I
actually do when I coach a player in the cage.
Pitcher or hitter, I don’t care: If you want to play
consistently at or near your best, if you want to be good
under pressure, if you want to find out how good you can be
at the the game of baseball, you need to have rock-solid
pre-pitch routines.
Both for “green light” (going good) situations, and “yellow
light” (upset-about-something) situations.
My two new programs answer all these questions, and many
more. They show you exactly what you should be doing on the
field between pitches.
After all, that’s MOST OF THE TIME in baseball. There’s
more non-action time than action time. What are you doing
in those times?
Format: Each program comes with a dvd and manual.
The hitting dvd, which includes an entire bonus section on
how to play defense with confidence, is 1:45 minutes long.
Yes, an hour and forty-five minutes. Longer than Finding
Nemo.
Although my goal is for you to have a very very very simple
routine, I want you to have a thorough understanding of all
that goes into a routine, all the choices you have.
The workbook, which includes a transcript of the dvd and
many pages of worksheets for you to develop and refine your
routine and track your progress, is 78 pages long.
I also spill the beans on what 17 years in baseball have
told me are the two best hitting drills of all time. It’s
highly unlikely you’re doing either of them now.
The hitting system is called: ZONED In!: How to Hit with
Total Confidence, Focus, Composure and Consistency.
The pitching program’s dvd is 1:06 long, and the manual,
which also includes pages of worksheets, is 48 pages long.
I take you through step-by-step how to take charge of the
mound and dominate the mental game.
The pitching system is called Dominate!: How to Pitch with
Total Confidence, Focus, Composure and Consistency –
Regardless of How Good Your Stuff Is.
In each program you get to eavesdrop as I teach the Hanson
Method for developing pre-pitch routines to minor league
players.
If you’re not happy with what you get, I’ll give you 90
days to return it for the purchase price. You’ve got
nothing to lose (except a few games…)
I’m running a Combo special at least through noon
Wednesday. Get both systems mailed to you for just $97. I
may keep that special after that time, but for now plan on
my cutting it off then.

Tom Dr. Tom Hanson — Making Baseball Success routine!
p.s. Game night for me. I’ll be toeing the rubber at 6:30
in my co-ed rec league game. What’s my commitment for the
night? What will I do out there on the mound?…..
My routine!
