Ace Your College Baseball Tryout: Mental Preparation Strategies
Question
hey i am going to college to play baseball as a catcher/outfielder. i have passed the first round of evaluations due to my great throwing arms and BP test. but now the 2nd round is coming up in a few days and i was told there are going to be more bigger better players coming in. how do i mental prepare myself going into this 2nd round knowing the factors that loom ahead? i am the youngest player there.
Answer
Jamal,
Do the same thing you did for the first round don't change your preparation. It seems like you had a good first round and you need to do the same thing again. Don't worry about being better than the new players coming to this tryout. Your ability get you to the next round. Just play your game and showcase your talents.
Good Luck,
