It's amazing how the Major League baseball deadline stirs up the baseball world. Everyone and their brother were waiting for a blockbuster deal with the featured talent being Manny Ramirez. There was a second huge deal consummated within 24 hours of the deadline - Ken Griffey Jr., a sure future Hall Of Famer, was traded from his "daddy's" team, the Cincinnati Reds to the Chicago White Sox. And don't forget Ivan Rodriguez to the New York Yankees for who? Farnsworth!
As a baseball fan the trade deadline is one of the most exciting times of the baseball season and for your favorite team. It provides plenty of fodder for your next water cooler discussions. Who got the best deal? Was it worth it? Are they giving away their future for a championship today? Great stuff if you like debates. And to make it even better, there is no sure winner.
Another great thing about the MLB trade deadline is it marks the last stretch to the baseball playoffs. Hopefully your favorite team's moves at the trade deadline puts in the games of September, and even better to the World Series in October.

"Your RMT book is great! I'm a catcher for XXXXXXXX University. The competition is tough and the pressure to perform in every game is high.
In the pre-season I have played really well behind the plate and at bat. After 6 games I'm at 385 (ended last season at 220). I know its early to be excited, but there is a huge difference in my confidence and how I am always in the zone....

“As a coach to elite athletes, and a competitor myself, I give my highest recommendation to the RMT methods of mental game conditioning. Stephen has laid out a simple to follow plan that will accelerate the performance and ultimate success of ANY athlete in ANY sport. It is required reading at Pilgers Training Systems, because any coach or player without these tools is at a severe disadvantage.
In the end it’s all about results, and RMT produces results in spades!”

Baseball Psychology
What Is Baseball Psychology?
Baseball psychology can be a broad term used to cover very different topics. Baseball Psychology can cover conditions such as superstitions, Obsessions, confidence issues, baseball lore and mental aptitude while also covering player mentality and decision making.
Of course Baseball Psychology also includes the mental side of hitting and fielding, scouting, mentality of pitchers, and finally; streaks, slums and momentum.
Superstitions?
Some interesting things in baseball psychology are the superstitions of the players. More than any other sport, baseball is known for some players possessing quirky good luck charms, routines and even dances.
For example, some pitchers and coaches would step on the foul line when running on and off the field and some players have this big production after every single pitch. Here's an example of what it would be like:
The batter has swung and misses the pitch, then he steps out of the batter's box, touches the top of the batting helmet with one hand, then he puts two hands on the bat and balances it between both knees why re-securing each batting glove (etc., etc. etc.).
Baseball Psychology of Individual Players
The game of baseball has been known to be superstitious, Wade Boggs (former Red Sox and NY Yankee) ate chicken before every single game. Many players have been very superstitious about the uniform number they wore. Some even going as far as paying tens of thousands of dollars to teammates in a "buyout" of a uniform number from one player to the other.
Baseball Psychology could also cover the beliefs, teachings, programs and practices, such as meditation, yoga and positive thinking. In the last 10 to 20 years baseball has crept into the mental realm for clues to mental superiority.
How Do I Take Advantage of Baseball Psychology?
We limit ourselves without even knowing it. There are ancient and modern techniques, used together, that help you to gain the mental edge against your opponent.
There are many groups out there searching for the perfect balance of old and new technologies to make the perfect.
