From the previous lesson we begin to understand the balancing act that must go on in the brain. But how do we get the signals through the maze efficiently? The same way we improve everything else - we practice.


Pro pitching coach Brent Strom tells a great story on himself. Years back while working as a coach for a major league team (not the one he's with now), Brent had some of the pitchers throwing with their eyes closed ...a technique to help them master their mechanics and consistency. The team's manager saw this, walked up to Strom and quietly whispered in his ear "do that again and you're fired."

That's not really a condemnation of major league managers, but it does show that there's likely to be resistance to new ideas. Something you need to accept, understand, maybe even embrace.
