Beschrijving

In this episode, Georgia Miller, M.Ed., CMPC is joined by former collegiate pitcher and mental performance coach Brock McCormack [https://mackmental.com/?utm_source=chatgpt.com] to break down the unique mental side of baseball and softball. From the pressure-filled travel ball environment to the obsession with stats, recruiting, and social media, they discuss how athletes can stop playing for others’ approval and reconnect with their love for the game. Georgia and Brock also dive into practical mental performance strategies including routines, between-pitch resets, productive self-talk, handling failure, dugout culture, and staying present under pressure. Athletes will learn how to use stats as feedback instead of identity, why routines are essential for competing in the moment, and how to navigate the ups and downs that make baseball and softball such mentally demanding sports. Whether you’re a baseball or softball athlete, parent, or coach, this episode provides simple, applicable tools to help athletes compete more freely, confidently, and consistently.
