A far-ranging discussion on training and game prep

On May 25, 2007, three of the top instructional gurus game together for a teleseminar to celebrate the launch of Tom Hanson's DVD programs on mental training. As often happens, the conversation covered both the intended ground - techniques for focus and success - but also delved into other areas on pitching, hitting and coaching.

WebBall has been granted permission to provide a permanent record of this teleseminar on our website. Because the event lasted close to 2 hours, we've placed it in a pop-up window. So you can launch it and then continue to explore on the main WebBall site.

Here are some of the quotable quotes, you'll hear...

"Do a great job with your routine. Get yourself where you need to be when you need to be there." - Tom Hanson

"What we do is called natural guided discovery." - Ron Wolforth

"Everything should be measured not assumed. Always put numbers, values to everything." - Perry Husband

"Our phrase for that is 'track it or lack it.' It's not that we missed throwing the pitch we wanted, but by how much did we miss?" - Tom

"Use distraction to push back, to get stronger mentally." - Tom

"Work on mental training at the earliest possible age." - Tom

"Quickness can actually hurt hitters." - Perry

"You need to think the right stuff - overthinking causes paralysis by analysis." - Ron

"Primal mode is just trying to just throw harder - too hard." - Tom

"Prayer mode is getting too careful and hoping you don't get hit too hard." - Tom

"Perfect mode is trying to be too precise." - Tom

"Your chance of failure is 100%. It's what you do next that matters." - Ron

"To convince a kid that more effort is necessary think about arcade/video game motivation - there's always a next level, progress is measured." - Perry
