Summary: A must read for serious baseball players
Comment: I have three boys who play ball from little league to college teams. When they are in high school, I give them a copy of this book. More than any new glove or bat, more than 100 hours of cage time, more than any clinic, this book is the single most influential thing I can do to help them get better. The concepts in this book are applicable to most facets of life, but are set in the context of baseball. Look, I've seen the inflated ratings for books here, but I believe this one really deserves a 5. A lot of books on sports psychology seem like fluff to me. You've heard it: "Take a deep breath, focus, sharpen your vision, control your emotions." Huh? This book is meaty and informative. It tells stories that illustrate not only why it is so critical to improve mentally, but gives proven examples of how. The book is full of testimonials and examples from major league players. I couldn't say it is the first and last word on the subject of mental baseball, but it is BY FAR, the single best source I've read. I agree with the review above that this book is a MUST read for anyone serious about improving in baseball, and certainly for anyone hoping to play at the higher levels.

Summary: A must read for anybody who plays or coaches the sport.
Comment: You can read thousands of books on how to play the sport, but none touch the mental aspect of the game as well as this book does. I've been coaching Baseball for the last 5 years. I read this book every year and try to teach the aspects in the book every chance I get. Kids so often tell themselfs to "not make an error" or "don't strike out". Where the book says to tell yourself to do what you want to do (IE:pick up the groundball or hit the ball) not what you don't want to do. It's a must read for anybody involved in baseball.

Summary: Years of Application
Comment: I read this book as a freshman in college while playing intercollegiate baseball. I can honestly say that the things I learned and applied to my life as a ballplayer have stuck with me over the years. I have since gone on to a top-rated graduate school and a great job. I learned to formulate goals, think positively, and maintain focus and intensity though practicing what this book describes. If you like baseball, but don't play, this book is great as you apply it's principles as I have done over the years. If you do play, it will help you focus on getting the most out of your abilities.
