The Art and Science of Hitting .500: In Baseball and Fastpitch Softball at the Highest Levels of Competition [Paperback]

Bruce Winship Wright (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: July 16, 2007

This is the first book to successfully combine the philosophies of the world's greatest hitters, sports psychologists, and spiritual masters to maximize a hitter's ability to enter the Zone during competition. The Zone, every athletes greatest asset, is that rare mental state of enhanced space-time perception where the action appears to slow down, the ball appears larger, closer, and easier to hit, your decision making is impeccable, your hand-eye coordination is razor-sharp, and perfect performances are automatic. This is the first and only book on hitting which explains in crystal clear language both why and how a hitter can enter the Zone during competition and achieve seemingly impossible goals.

This review is from: The Art and Science of Hitting .500: In Baseball and Fastpitch Softball at the Highest Levels of Competition (Paperback)

How to use imaging and batting teee together for a mental training on hitting. The idea is very good and useful. Not very interesting the
"spiritual" side of the booklet.
