Episode 18 - Dealing With Slumps - a podcast by Mark Gallion

Slumps are a reality in baseball. But, mentally tough baseball players are able to limit and contain slumps. Mentally tough players have 3 game slumps, other players have 3 week long slumps. We discuss four steps to limiting and containing slumps:1. Maintain perspective - slumps start and end.2. Maintain your confidence. If you don't feel confident, then at least act confident.3. Relax - don't put extra pressure on yourself. Don't try hard, instead try easy.4. Contain the slump to just one part of the game. If you are in a hitting slump, leave the slump in the batter's box. Don't tale your slump onto the mound, or onto the field with you.Remember - everyone has slumps. The secret is to make them short and contained.
