If I asked this question to a 1000 people, I bet you the most popular answer would be the ability to deal with adversity. Baseball players are taught that baseball can be a difficult game and that the best in the game have the ability to deal with adversity effectively! Although I agree on some level, I innately have to phrase my answer in a different way.
Well, in short, people have trouble keep things simple. For whatever reason, we as humans like to complicate things more than they have to be! Don't believe me? How many arguments have started while trying to park a car? Should be pretty stress free parking one car into one open parking space right? Oh no, by the time some one cuts you off, you miss a space, and your fellow passenger asks you what you are doing, chances are a small argument has started!
It's not 90% mental because it is so complex, it's 90% mental because it is so simple! And once again, we as humans find a way to complicate it more than it has to be! No matter how simple of a solution and issue has, we will find a way to make it the problem harder to solve than we have too. Here's some proof, how many arguments do you have over finding a parking space in a crowded parking lot?
Should be pretty simple right? Find one space, to park one car. But what happens, we look for the closest space, then we miss a space, and people start questioning what your doing or what your looking at, then you snap back. It's insanity, but all you are trying to do is to pull 1 car into 1 open parking space.
He laughed and said, "Okay, how are you going to do that?" I responded with a couple of things I learned through some baseball batting training sessions, like load smooth and slow, turn my back hip, and finish towards the field of play I want to hit the ball. "Good, lets do that every time and see what happens!"
Wow, what a revelation! Instead of dragging it out with a number of different theories, I had 3 very specific action steps on how to sing the bat properly. Instead of focusing on why I didn't get a hit, or if I was in a slump, I focused on 3 very simple, and very specific batting techniques. If all went right, my base hits would come. If you are struggling with a dozen different batting corrections and are thinking about everything but hitting the baseball, I want to invite you to keep it simple stupid!
