I always talk about Self Doubt as the best pitcher in baseball.
In this video below, Tyler Neslony, recently promoted AAA outfielder discusses his struggles & how he has regained his confidence. I really appreciate his vulnerability to discuss his nervousness & how that directly effected his swing & approach. This guy had been swinging the bat like a champ for us the last two years in Double-A, he gets promoted, and the self doubt comes creeping in. Can I play here? Am I good enough? Etc. That is where your mental game has to kick in and capture, then redirect those thoughts.
In order to attain that moment in time where are minds are free to let our bodies create, self doubt must be extinguished & the hitter must engage in the battle & go into compete mode. It is such a battle in this game, especially in the social media era we live in. Kids growing up playing in an time when travel ball trophies are constantly being chased. Then they move into the recruiting stage of the game and the pressures to produce are never higher and tougher to handle for the Athlete in 2024. And On, and on. A professional ballplayer below is enough to share his struggles and how he was able to come out of it.
Takeaways:
You aren't alone - pro guys doubt themselves too
We can create our own stress and anxiousness
Remind yourself of your truths
Trust Yourself and the Work you have put in
