Personal Best Mental Toughness Training
Mental Toughness Training is rapidly being recognized as the most essential element for the success of baseball and softball players at all levels. Many of the nation’s top college programs have committed to mental toughness training to help their players perform at peak levels more consistently.
Mental Toughness is the ability to perform at peak levels regardless of the circumstances or conditions. Many players have the physical ability for peak performance but lack the essential mental toughness skills for optimum success.
When coaches and athletes are asked what percentage of baseball or softball is “mental”, typical responses range from 75% to 95%. Yet, most athletes spend less than 10% of their training time on the mental game!
Players need mental toughness because baseball and softball is hard and presents adversity every day. Personal Best will teach participants specific skills and strategies to successfully meet challenges not only in baseball/softball, but also at school-work-home --- and all areas of daily life!
