			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Below is an article I&#8217;d really like you to read.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s by a former Big League pitcher, though it reads like<br />
its been written by a really smart guy&#8230;</p>
<p>(I&#8217;ve had ML pitchers tell me they wish they weren&#8217;t<br />
intelligent so they wouldn&#8217;t think themselves to death.)</p>
<p>Dave Baldwin analyzes what goes in inside a batter&#8217;s brain<br />
and the rest of his body while a pitch is on it&#8217;s way.</p>
<p>It explains a lot about what it takes to succeed as a<br />
hitter and as a pitcher.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-</p>
<p><strong>To Think or Not to Think?</strong></p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-</p>
<p>One highlight is Baldwins&#8217;s talking about the functions of<br />
the different parts of the brain, namely the neo-cortex and<br />
the limbic system.</p>
<p>(I break this down in a very practical, useful way at the<br />
start of Week 2 lesson in my new program &#8220;Baseball Success<br />
Secrets.&#8221;</p>
<p>The lesson shows you clearly why the primary goal of mental<br />
game training, and, for my $$, the primary goal of baseball<br />
training period is to _______.)</p>
<p>Baldwin emphasizes that any activity in the neo-cortex<br />
messes up hitters. It explains why virtually every hitter<br />
will tell you he hits best when he&#8217;s &#8220;not thinking.&#8221;</p>
<p>Thinking = neo-cortex activity.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-</p>
<p><strong>Check out THIS Quote from the Article&#8230;</strong></p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-</p>
<p>&#8220;The batter&#8217;s noggin has about 270 msec or a little more<br />
than a quarter of a second to get its ducks in a row and<br />
start the swing.</p>
<p>&#8220;But, although the bat has started its journey, the<br />
batter&#8217;s conscious mind is still unaware that the batter<br />
has decided to swing.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-</p>
<p><strong>Did You Catch That?</strong></p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-</p>
<p>The body has decided to swing before the conscious mind<br />
even knows it!</p>
<p>This emphasizes one of the central points of my training:<br />
confidence is not just a brain thing: it&#8217;s a whole body<br />
thing.</p>
<p>Thus, it doesn&#8217;t help you to KNOW things about how to<br />
perform. The thing has to BE IN YOUR BODY.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s why each week in my program you get some knowledge<br />
in the form of a lesson or what I call a &#8220;distinction.&#8221;</p>
<p>AND you get a practice (an exercise): Something to DO so<br />
that confidence and trust and belief get into your BODY,<br />
not just into your neo-cortex (where it does you &#8220;know&#8221;<br />
good).</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;</p>
<p>So here&#8217;s the article:<br />
<strong><a href="http://baseballanalysts.com/archives/2009/09/unraveling_the.php">http://baseballanalysts.com/archives/2009/09/unraveling_the.php</a></strong></p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;</p>
