Visualization

By: Tom Hanson

A good mental baseball or softball drill.

Two key points here:

1. Our minds do not do a good job of distinguishing what is real and what is imagined. If it did, dreams and movies would never affect us emotionally.

2. Experience is the best teacher.

Put these two facts together and you have a definite Ultimate Baseball Drill.

Hank Aaron told me visualization was the basis of his mental preparation and that his mental preparation was the reason for his focus and his consistency. In short, he said it was what made the difference between a good career and being the all-time Home Run King, RBI King and Total Bases King.
