Baseball Coaching Strategies: Get Hitters to Mute Neo-cortex!

Below is an article I’d really like you to read.

It’s by a former Big League pitcher, though it reads like
its been written by a really smart guy…

(I’ve had ML pitchers tell me they wish they weren’t
intelligent so they wouldn’t think themselves to death.)

Dave Baldwin analyzes what goes in inside a batter’s brain
and the rest of his body while a pitch is on it’s way.

It explains a lot about what it takes to succeed as a
hitter and as a pitcher.

———————————-

To Think or Not to Think?

———————————-

One highlight is Baldwins’s talking about the functions of
the different parts of the brain, namely the neo-cortex and
the limbic system.

(I break this down in a very practical, useful way at the
start of Week 2 lesson in my new program “Baseball Success
Secrets.”

The lesson shows you clearly why the primary goal of mental
game training, and, for my $$, the primary goal of baseball
training period is to _______.)

Baldwin emphasizes that any activity in the neo-cortex
messes up hitters. It explains why virtually every hitter
will tell you he hits best when he’s “not thinking.”

Thinking = neo-cortex activity.

———————————-

Check out THIS Quote from the Article…

———————————-

“The batter’s noggin has about 270 msec or a little more
than a quarter of a second to get its ducks in a row and
start the swing.

“But, although the bat has started its journey, the
batter’s conscious mind is still unaware that the batter
has decided to swing.”

———————————-

Did You Catch That?

———————————-

The body has decided to swing before the conscious mind
even knows it!

This emphasizes one of the central points of my training:
confidence is not just a brain thing: it’s a whole body
thing.

Thus, it doesn’t help you to KNOW things about how to
perform. The thing has to BE IN YOUR BODY.

That’s why each week in my program you get some knowledge
in the form of a lesson or what I call a “distinction.”

AND you get a practice (an exercise): Something to DO so
that confidence and trust and belief get into your BODY,
not just into your neo-cortex (where it does you “know”
good).
