Mind Gym Text-Self

 I honestly can relate to every single topic that this book talks about. I always try to find a way to apply this information to my every day life and my work ethic. So far this book has consistently talked about the mental approach to your specific craft. It talks about how you have to block out all negative noise. When playing a baseball game, i don't hear any noise besides the crack of the bat and the pop in the glove. This book also talks a lot about not letting your mind hold you back.

  I sometimes compare my mind to the devils because when I'm working out my mind is constantly telling me to stop or you can't do this. When i work out, i try not to think about anything besides my form on lifts I'm preforming. Spending most of my summer in Texas, I'm very familiar with all the big colleges. I was invited to a Top 50 Prospects camp that would have every big name college in the south. At the end of the camp, coach would have each college coach come out and talk 5 minutes on what it takes to play college baseball. I listened to all of the coaches and one thing they all had in common was the mental game is a big factor in progressing in your career.

 Texas Christian University ( TCU ) head coach talked a lot about the mental game. He gave us all a youtube video to watch that his players put together in 2012. I would like to share this very inspirational video with y'all.
