520			_aAuthor and sport psychologist Dr. Curt Ickes wrote this book in the hopes of helping parents better prepare their 8-12-year-old baseball players to crush it on the field. This book introduces players to sport psychology techniques usually reserved for older, more advanced athletes. The lessons are taught using concise and easy-to-understand language, through a relatable, engaging story. This book will help young players elevate their game and make playing the baseball even more enjoyable! Young readers will meet Jack, a new player on the Oak Groves Owls team. He loves baseball but his excitement wanes after a disastrous first practice. As the Owls play their first games of the season, Jack experiences the same struggles with anxiety and confidence that most young baseball players do. Through Matt, a new friend on the team, Jack discovers ways to quickly overcome anxiety, reset after failure, improve concentration, and increase confidence. These same mental game skills can be applied to any performance situation, not just baseball!
