PODCAST: Baseball Pitching Mental Imagery

This podcast is a Baseball Pitching Mental Imagery Session with Brian Cain – Peak Performance Coach.  Mental imagery is effective because the brain processes information whether you vividly imagine it or physically experience it with the same psycho-neuro-muscular pathways.

Essentially you are strengthening your nervous system to be able to physically create the images you see in your minds eye while doing mental imagery.  I recommend that if you are a pitcher, you do this mental imagery session the day before a game and if you are a starting pitcher the day before and three days before. You can do it more than that as well if you are “into” it.

Here’s to you mental conditioning practice and hitting mental imagery.

PODCAST: 5-4-3-2-1 Relaxation/Focus Exercise

This podcast will help you train your relaxation response and your ability to focus in the present moment.  Research shows that focusing on your breathing is one of the most productive and efficient ways to train yourself to relax and get yourself into the present moment.  The ability to relax under pressure and the ability to have laser like focus is already inside of you, some people are simply more conditioned that others at these two fundamental mental skills.

I recommend that you listen to this audio at least once a day for 14 days either in the morning when you wake up or at night when you are getting ready to go to bed.  If you are super committed, you can listen to this both in the morning when you wake up and at night when you go to bed.  If you feel that you want to listen to this during the day, between classes or before practice, that will help you to clear your mind and get in the moment, unlocking your potential to perform at your best.

Here’s to you mental conditioning practice and relaxation training.

Power Sleep – Must Watch For Any Coach/Athlete

This video is a presentation by Dr. James Maas or Cornell University about his book Power Sleep.  I have always been a person who prided himself on being able to opperate at a high level with 6 hours of sleep routinely going to bed at midnight and getting up at 6:00am.  What I found in reading Dr. Maas book and in watching this video was that I was cutting myself short of my potential by not getting enough sleep.  Fascinating stuff.  Hey, if you are going to spend a 3rd of your life in bed, you should probably know what is happening while you sleep?  This video will be a quick crash course for you.  It is not the most exciting video out there, if you fall asleep watching it, than maybe it was worth it?
