My son Big Kat is 11 and plays club baseball. He has always been a solid hitter finishing his 10u season in a San Diego tournament with a .802 BA in 7 games. His goal was to hit some homers during the tournament. He has 3 blasts that literally were inches from going over. Well, we just started 11u season last week and Kat hit the ball however; his hits turned into ground outs or liners that were caught. Needless to say, he was in a funk mentally. Knowing that he was competing in his first 11u tournament this past weekend, he knew he needed to change something. He spent some time reading and researching when we discovered the Peak State podcasts. Literally on our drive from Las Vegas to Utah, we listened to Jason talk faking it till you make it; BEAST mode, and making the decision to Sale the Farm. Kat did not speak too much on the ride and at one point, I thought he may have been daydreaming. We literally arrived to the field after 3 hours in the car. I tell him my routine pep talk: play hard, have fun etc. he looks at me and says “Full Focus”. As he warms up, he looks pretty intense. After 30 minutes or so, the game starts, Kat is hitting third. With a runner on third; he hits a hard grounder and gets out. 1 RBI, job done. Next at bat; man on second: takes a pitch, second pitch boom! Into the parking lot the ball went. Next at bat a hard double. Kat finished the game with 4 RBIs and 2runs. Team placed second. Last night; more PEAK State prior to game: Boom! a 3 run homerun! Kat has changed his focus and thanks to Jason’s podcasts, he has redirected his mental preparation which thus far has equaled great results. Great info and guidance from Jason. Within a week, without changing mechanics, just his mindset, he is killing the ball. Thank you.
