Episode 9 - Positive Self-Talk

In this episode, we discuss positive self talk. Self-talk is the conversation you have with yourself, either silently or out loud. Positive self talk helps you become a confident, relaxed and focused baseball player. Positive messages focus on what you can do, while negative self talk focuses on what you cannot do. Self-talk is 100% within the control of the player. You control what you say to yourself. Positive self-talk is not easy. It takes self-discipline. Positive self-talk is skill that you need to work on. The homework assignment is to write down three core positive statements about yourself as a baseball player this season. The second part of the homework assignment is to start creating game situation self-talk statements during practice drills. This is a skill and a routine that you can develop now, if you work at it.
