anyone who aspires to become a winning major league player."
-Roland Hemond, 2011 Baseball Hall of Fame Buck O'Neil Lifetime
Achievement Award "A must read for athletes looking to gain a
mental edge or simply better identify their own strengths." -Bryan
Minniti, Assistant General Manager, Washington Nationals Mental
skills coach Geoff Miller has spent years helping professional
baseball players improve their mental toughness-both on and off the
field. Now, he's making these invaluable lessons available to
everyone who loves the game of baseball. From high school to the
Major Leagues, all baseball players struggle with competition,
pressure, and their own personal challenges. This book, through
inspiring stories about professional baseball players in various
stages of their careers, as well as hands-on tips and
questionnaires, will help players evaluate and improve the mental
skills that are necessary for that competitive edge. In
Intangibles, you'll find stories, instruction, and practical
applications that teach players and coaches how to put forth their
best mental games-portrayed through the eyes of those who have
experienced those learning moments firsthand in their quests to
become Major Leaguers. From a local park's baseball diamond to
dusty minor league dugout benches to the musty concrete tunnels
under Major League stadiums, Intangibles meets players where they
are, offering specific ways to improve performance and outlook.
Whether you hope to be a big league player someday, or whether you
simply want to play your best game, this book is essential for all
athletes who want to learn how to overcome fear, build confidence,
and develop a mental framework for success.
