One thing that can help you cope is the 70% breath. Sit and breathe in to 70% capacity, then out the same. Do it whenever you think of it. That won't cure the problem but will help you deal with the consequences and dred. Contact me if you'd like to talk it over. Dr. Tom Ugh — that’s quite a ride you’re on, Kennedy, hang in there.

I'd say about 70% of the players I worked with last year were freshmen. Just when you want to be your best and PROVE yourself, you're at your absolute worst. I think it's safe to say the two go hand in hand.... I don't have a quick fix tip for you... I don't find it works that way. You're welcome to call me to discuss options, or write more specific questions here. Dr. Tom 813-968-8863 Welcome to the club!

I have had a lot of issues throwing the ball to first base from any infield positions. It's almost like I am trying to get rid of the ball so fast & quick after I field that I make horrible throws. I have always had this problem especially throwing from shortstop. Any guidance and help would be appreciated. I am playing college baseball as a freshman.

I worked with 61 players with some form of this (including golfers) in 2011 and am ahead of that pace in 2012. Best is to call me to discuss. 813-968-8863. Something happened that clogged up your neural highways and you need an emotional tow truck to clean up the mess. Dr. Tom I hear you, Michael — really a drag.

I have had the yips for over a year and a half and I even had to transfer schools from Walters State and change from the infield to the outfield. My confidence still isn't there and I even have talked to Dr. Crowley that has written the book Mentalball and paid way too much money for his sessions that didn't work. I'm losing the love of the game and not performing like I did in high school. I am an outfielder at Chattanooga State.

Acting confident, breathing deeply between pitches and committing fully to your target can help you a lot. Practice that daily and use it on the field to help put yourself in position for success. However, that addresses the "conscious" part of your brain, not where the real interference is for you -- in your "subconscious." Let me know if you'd like to work on that part.

Everything I do, I try to impress someone and overthink it. Before this, I was being looked at and most likely would have started for the Varsity this Spring. I can't get the ball on a line back to the pitcher, and I always think to much throwing to the bases. Same with hitting. I tend to overthink. I want to be starting on Varsity this year, hopefully.

I was throwing the ball straight into the ground and overthrowing my teammate the whole time we were throwing. The same thing happened to me last year because i think i was freaking myself out about making the team, but this year i have nothing to be stressing about. This is aggravating as im looking like idiot trying to throw and its happened before around the same time. Please let me know what i can do to get rid of this relatively fast.
