By: Dr. Ken Ravizza, Dr. Tin Hanson

Narrated by: Michael Haytack

Who else wants a competitive edge?

Join more than 145,000 players and coaches, from World Series champions to youth levels, who have found playing heads-up baseball helps them overcome the failure, frustration, and fear the game throws at you each day and instead play with confidence, consistency, and composure under pressure.

Talent, strength, and great mechanics don't matter if you can't compete in games. Developed by working with elite players and coaches over the past 40 years, the strategies and tools in this audiobook (an "upgrade" to the classic 1994 edition) arm you with the approach you need to find out how good you can be at baseball.

Critic reviews

"This book teaches the mental skills you need to gain a competitive edge." (Joe Maddon, manager, Chicago Cubs)

Content is excellent!

I wish I had read this book 20 years ago. I would have been a better coach, and better leader, and a better husband and father. Highly recommend for anyone looking to improve in any sport or in life in general.

Solid work. Good food for the brain.

Overall, this book is very good with a lot of solid approaches to the mental game. There is some redundancy in the content but it’s not a big deal. There is a lot of good content peppered with anecdotes from MLB stars.

If you’re looking for a simple approach to the mental game of baseball that is applicable to other sports and to life, then I think you will like this book.

Must read if you manage or coach baseball

This is a must read for all coaches! Enjoyed learning about the mental side, and I plan to included this is my coaching

Fantastic Info - The Missing Link

This book is excellent and covers everything most advanced baseball players learn after its too late. This information is the foundation for any seriously competitive ball player. Very well written and great audio delivery.

Great for coaches and players

As a fan, not a coach or player, this book wasn't written for me. But it's essentially a self-improvement book for players and coaches. With ideas that could be attributed to probably any stressful job - or just life.
Honestly, the only thing I wish this book had (besides juicy baseball gossip) is a stronger leaning towards applying the practices in it towards life. - Though there is a clear understanding that they would ask that too.
