Former Major League pitcher and mental skills coach for two of
baseball's legendary franchises (the Boston Red Sox and San
Francisco Giants) Bob Tewksbury takes fans inside the psychology of
baseball. In Ninety Percent Mental, Bob Tewksbury shows readers a
side of the game only he can provide, given his singular background
as both a longtime MLB pitcher and a mental skills coach for two of
the sport's most fabled franchises, the Boston Red Sox and San
Francisco Giants. Fans watching the game on television or even at
the stadium don't have access to the mind games a pitcher must play
in order to get through an at-bat, an inning, a game. Tewksbury
explores the fascinating psychology behind baseball, such as how
players use techniques of imagery, self-awareness, and strategic
thinking to maximize performance, and how a pitcher's strategy
changes throughout a game. He also offers an in-depth look into
some of baseball's most monumental moments and intimate anecdotes
from a "who's who" of the game, including legendary players who
Tewksbury played with and against (such as Mark McGwire, Craig
Biggio, and Greg Maddux), game-changing managers and executives
(Joe Torre, Bruce Bochy, Brian Sabean), and current star players
(Jon Lester, Anthony Rizzo, Andrew Miller, Rich Hill). With
Tewksbury's esoteric knowledge as a thinking-fan's player and his
expertise as a "baseball whisperer", this entertaining book is
perfect for any fan who wants to see the game in a way he or she
has never seen it before. Ninety Percent Mental will deliver an
unprecedented look at the mound games and mind games of Major
League Baseball.
