Your Brain on Baseball     

We're going to change how you coach, how you practice, how you play the game.
What if your approach to baseball wasn't based on myths and old-school thinking? What if your preparation and performance were founded on scientific principles and neuropsychology? What if you could tap into the core processes in your brain to develop a whole new way to learn the game?

That's what this members-only lesson series is all about. It's not slight-of-hand; it's not magical thinking. What you'll discover is based on science ...on a better understanding of the brain, made possible through advances in imaging technology and new research studies conducted the last few years.

Together for the first time

While this information has been available from scattered resources, no one else has put it together specifically for the baseball coach. You'll learn about the neurochemicals like dopamine and seratonin and adrenaline. You'll learn how different sections of the brain contribute to the learning process. And also how they can get in the way ...the fear factor, the batting slump, perception and deception.

Most important of all, we'll help both players and coaches on a practical level. We'll use the science to explain, but we'll also provide you with techniques and tips to conquer the blockages and create a fully functioning brain for baseball.
 
This lesson plan has expanded into many pages during late January, through February, and into March 2010. More pages will continue to appear.

Due to the level of work involved in developing this lesson series and its enhanced content, some of the information is reserved for paid Team Player program members only. Please join now.

 

 

This series would not be possible without the on-going contributions of our regular mental training consultants such as Tom Hanson and Alan Jaeger plus inspiration from a number of new sources including New Yorker articles by Malcolm Gladwell recently republished; the research and writings of University of Virginia professor Dan Willingham; the research produced by Dr. Anne Triesman et al (formerly UBC, and Berkeley, now Princeton); "How We Decide" by Jonah Lehrer; and other papers cited in individual lessons.
