I love this book! I know it's a classic, but it's lessons are timeless. Still relevant.

Baseball is a mental sport. This gives you several tools to help you or your team to focus on what's important. Great easy read. Only downfall is there is zero talk about situational baseball.

Great book for young athletes

I've played a lot of baseball and over the years I've learned a few things about staying focused and so forth but I could have never put it into words and strategies the way Tom Hanson did in this book. I am thoroughly enjoying this book and it is filling my head with ideas on how to help my players. This book presents simple and concrete strategies for improving players' mental focus and process during practices and games. This is a book I will read more than once. I already restarted it once because there were so many good points that I wanted to highlight for later reference. I seem to highlight about 1/10 of every page.The book is actually written primarily for players and has worksheets and so forth to engage the reader and make them active in the process. My players are 7 and 8 so I cannot have them read it but I've recommended it to their parents because some of the strategies at the start of the book are relevant for being a successful person, not just a successful athlete. In many ways these really young players are the ones that need these lessons the most but they lack the attention span for a book like this. Maybe when they are 12. I am enjoying using small doses of it with my players and I am looking forward to what the long term impact of these lessons will be for these boys.

I loved this book because I learned some new information

I got this for my son (11). The scenarios are relatable, therefore help even young ballplayers. Looking forward to the season to see how he handles the pitching scenarios, and the hitting struggles everyone faces.

Simple to read and useful exercises to complete.

every baseball player at any level should read this

運動部の監督として、メンタルトレーニングを指導する際、この本の日本語版「大リーグのメンタルトレーニング」を利用していました。以前から原著を購入したかったので見つけて早速購入しました。　両方を比べながら読むことで、内容を深く知ることが出来たり、スポーツの専門用語などの訳し方などもわかり、大変参考になっています。特に、この本は、野球だけでなく、どのスポーツにも応用できるすばらしいメンタルトレーニングの内容となっていると思います。日本人メジャーリーガーたちの活躍を見ていても、この本に出てくるやり方をしていたり、実際に著者であるケン・らビザ博士から直接移動を受けている選手もいるので、そういったことをふまえて読むといっそう深くメンタルトレーニングがわかる優れものです。

Recommend this book to any athlete. The concept can be used in any sport.
