Baseball Confidence is NOT in Your Head!
“Damn!” I yelled as I pounded my fist on my desk.
“ERROR — DISK FULL” said my computer screen.
I’d just paid $114.73 to have the memory on my
computer doubled.
Doubled!
Yet here, just 15 days later, I get this message and my
work comes to a grinding halt.
——————————–
Remember, first ever “Success-athon” coming Monday….

What was the problem?
How could I have doubled my computer’s memory but in 15
days be OUT OF MEMORY?
I didn’t know.
So I called in an expert.
(I love experts. They relieve me of having to know
everything.)
Pieter, who has focused his whole professional life on
computers, diagnosed it quickly.
“You added memory by adding G and H drives and they have
massive space available,” he said. “But your computer is
using the C drive to operate. Your C drive is full and
that’s why you are getting that error message.
“Your computer isn’t set up to use the space it has right
now, we’ll need to re-configure it.”
——————————–
Bingo!
——————————–
So it didn’t help to know that there was tons of space
available on my computer.
My computer wasn’t using it! It could “tell me” that there
was tons of space available.
The computer “knew” it was there….
But the computer wasn’t set up to use it.
So it didn’t.
The inner workings of my computer had to be set up
differently. They had to be conditioned.
So Pieter the expert did what he needed to do and coached
me on what to do when he wasn’t there.
It took awhile to move things (from the C drive to the G
and H drives). It didn’t happen over night.
But in time — it took a few visits from him as the data
had to be moved in stages — things got aligned.
My computer now operates with the speed and efficiency that
I need it to (and PAID for it to do!).
——————————–
Why Did I Tell You This Story?
——————————–
I told you this story because it directly parallels one of
the core principles of baseball success (and softball
success, and business success, and relationship success,
and everything else).
Do you KNOW confidence is important?
Of course you do.
But it doesn’t help you to KNOW that confidence is
important to playing, coaching and parenting.
It doesn’t help you to have that info in your head.
It has to be in your body. You have to actually BE
confident.

How to Install Confidence in Your Body (and others’)
———————————
This idea that confidence (and focus, and desire, and
determination and resilience, and mental toughness) must be
in your BODY, not your HEAD is a cornerstone of my
“Baseball Success Secrets Coaching Program.”
As you’ll see Tuesday at noon, the program gives you
exercises that put confidence in your body.
So you FEEL it.
(Players don’t say “I thought confident out there.” They
say, “I FELT confident out there.)
I play the role of Pieter.
I’ve focused my entire professional life on the psychology
of success in baseball. I’ve been a DI hitting coach, DIII
head coach, consultant to the Rangers and Yankees and many
others.
My focus hasn’t been on gaining knowledge only, it’s been
on getting it in my body.
Look, I quit a tenured college professorship to pursue my dream.
Imagine: I was set for life.
I had a promised job for life I would have to break a bunch of laws to lose.
But I left it.
For 10 years I’ve been on the high wire of business without a net.
So my stuff better work!
It won’t help me to KNOW what to do and what is important.
IT BETTER BE IN MY BODY.
———————————-
Fortunately,…
———————————-
I now live in a phenomenal home in Tampa with a pool and a
beautiful conservation area in the back. (Look for some
video soon).
I say this not to brag, but as proof that what I’m teaching
works.
I have no paycheck. I “eat my own kill” as they say in
business.
If what I teach doesn’t get results I don’t eat and my wife and two kids and I are on the street.
———————————–
In Closing…
———————————–
So while I’m “Pieter” the expert, you get to be me in the
story.
You call the expert, let him do his thing, follow some
simple instructions, and enjoy playing, coaching or
parenting with a new, highly improved level of efficiency.
That comes Tuesday.
In the mean time, please enjoy the gifts I have for you at
www.BaseballSuccessSecrets.com
I don’t know how much longer I’ll keep them up.
Sincerely,
Dr. Tom
