Fear of success...major confidence killer

One of the top fears rarely talked about is the fear of success. On the outside everyone wants to do better, but on the inside there is comfort zone meter that will not go up unless the athlete totally understands what comes with being successful.A sense of accomplishment is one of the best feelings in the world, but once an athlete climbs to another level he eventually knows that the pressure gets even greater. To succeed means to change and not a lot of people like to change unless it is at…See More

"Mike, interesting. I never knew this was a secret to incorporate torque into your swing. Secret? Maybe it is bringing back the hitting technique that was around before astr turf and aluminum bats. Torque creates bat speed and power when utilized…"

Ted Williams in the minor leagues

Ted Williams entered the minor leagues while still in high school in the summer of 1936 with the San Diego Padres of the Pacific Coast League.The one thing that entered his mind was how he was going to protect his swing from any coaches who might want to change it. He knew how special his swing was and he knew the mechanics of it. He also knew how "out of the box" his swing thoughts were and that no coach would understand.Ted Williams did not want to become another minor leaguer who averaged…See More

A good silent practice can work wonders

A great way to get your team to focus and really get them conscience about their thoughts is to have a silent practice. The reason this works, especially for high school and college players, is because their identity and self esteem have been established and really after much experience and coaching, the player at a certain point should be able to focus on what they need to do to have a good practice. It is an opportunity for the player to also make quick adjustments physically and mentally by…See More

New hitting technique makes hitters feel like their on Steroids!

When people say this I take it as the utmost compliment. It is not often that you can see a whole team hit up and down the line-up, but as a team hitting specialist this is what I have been trained to do. The system I use is geared towards making as many 3-hole hitters in the line-up as I possibly can. I know if I can teams get enough players who can hit for power and average, then the team is going to score lots of runs. People always want to know how this happens and what the secret actually…See More

Problem solving your way to success

In sports, the successful ones are always working on something that it is going to get them better. It is a matter of good physical and mental preparation as well as will power.For some the training is the most fun because it is easier to get into the zone and notice some good changes in your body. Off season training is a time for psychological re-newel as athletes begin to re-set their minds and build more confidence through their training.Competition however is a whole new ball of wax…See More

Ted Williams son was a hitter

How did Ted Williams son go from 1 for 42 with 35 strikeouts to banking balls of the centerfield wall?John Henry Williams at the age of 35 had not played organized baseball since his sophmore year in high school. Most people thought it would be a joke for him to try his hand at pro ball back in 2005.Most were right, as his stint with the Red Sox did not last long and he got cut from some other pro and independent ball clubs during his journey.He got picked up in the Southeast Pro league and had…See More

Athletes that get labeled..tough to overcome

Most every athlete will undergo some type of labeling that can affect his confidence.After a while people start to notice each players strenghts and weakness's as players. Certain weakness's can be too tough to overcome once it is understood by the coach and teammates that "you are not good at a particular skill."Once you get into high school it is important to know what people think about your overall game. It is usually a reflection of your past history and what people know about you. On…See More

Chicago 1/7/2012

Hitting a baseball is said to be one of the hardest skills in sports to do. According to Mike "Hubie Magic" Huber he discoverd a secret that no other baseball person knows about that helps get hitters to hit the ball harder, farther, and more consistently.

 

Huber says that he accidentally stumbled upon the secret while he was intensely studying components of a slow pitch softball swing combined with upward rotational hitting. In 1996 this type of thinking was…

Can Ball players learn the art of Mental Toughness quickly?

Posted on December 2, 2011 at 8:15am 0 Comments

Confidence is a trait that some have and most others do not have in sports. A lot of it has to to do with genetics and environmental education ( How someone is brought up). Athletes who have these two traits in their favor along with solid athletic ability, have a chance to take their skills to the next level.



Certainly there are good coaches who can motivate and teach athletes the art of self respect and achieving challenging goals. Really though, it comes down to the athlete…
