2 Baseball MLB Sports Psychology Keys that the Philadelphia Phillies need to turn around their season.
Philadelphia, USA - July 17, 2013 /MarketersMedia/ --
It’s been a maddening year watching the Jekyll and Hyde MLB Philadelphia Phillies says Todd Stofka, The Baseball Psychology Hypnotist. The Phillies were the team who had won five National League East titles to find themselves struggling in third placed. This team has had a hard time to even get to .500, the Phillies have been on-again off-again all year.
2 Sports Psychology Baseball Keys for 2013
a. Eliminating the fear of choking. When the Phillies decided not to choke they get hits and hits leads to runs. When any baseball fan watches them play, a fan looks for the squad to have that air of confidence. This confidence is what has been missing in previous outings and the fear of choking couldn’t be seen when one looks in their eyes. It was replaced with a gleam of excitement.
Recently a baseball team came to Stofka to get help them with this problem of fear. Fear can be very crippling both on offense and defense. Fear will spread through a team like the plague. With these players Stofka helped them rewire their thoughts. If the thoughts started out in the area of fear and choking he begins to reconnect them back to positive baseball production. Most performance experts will not use the presenting issue like fear to create new neural pathways in an athlete that will take them to the results they want. In this case it connected them to produce more hits and throw more strikes.
Eliminating the doubt. The Phillies have been riddled this season with doubt. This has crippled their ability to play as a team. When doubt hits a baseball team each player questions their ability. This causes the player to be too much in their head and not letting go and playing good ball.
A baseball player who worked with Philly Hypnosis Sports recently was trying to get ready for tryouts in front of the pro scouts. This baseball player had this nagging thought of doubt. It was like a cloud that followed him around and he never knew when it was going to overtake him. When the doubt cloud hit, there was no batting production; errors were made in the field; and, his chances of being picked up were diminished. He found that when Stofka helped him turn the doubt cloud around into a cloud of thankfulness, happiness and fun everything changed. He was thankful for his ability to play at this level. He realized the happiness he got by being able to play baseball and the opportunities that were before him. And most of all, he knew that the game was supposed to be fun. With this new cloud he was able to blow away the doubt and step up and impress the scouts.
When baseball players and any other athletes find themselves in this situation, it is to their advantage to seek out a qualified Sports Performance Psychologist so that the fear of poor performance is never in their future.
