Introduction.
The e book was written by Ken Ravizza, Ph.D and Tom Hanson, Ph.D.

“The essense is learning to be comfortable being uncomfortable. Have something to go to when the shit hits the fan. Because the shit will hit the fan and let’s be ready for it.” — Ken Ravizza, Ph.D.
Why is the e book superb?
The e book was superb for 2 causes:
- Although the e book’s introduction talked about easy, the e book was not easy. Re-reading elements of the e book was not a burden as a result of two six-hour airplane flights made it straightforward. A quote from an introduction web page: “This is a comprehensive book on how to keep baseball simple.”
- Each reader will view the e book from their perspective, so it is going to be a distinct e book for every reader. Reading the e book’s concepts from a baseball participant perspective, I understood the concepts however felt that I didn’t actually perceive the concepts. When I learn the e book from a aggressive pickleball participant perspective, the phrases leapt off the web page and sang to my soul.
What is the e book about?
The e book was about two issues:
- How to get higher at baseball (or any aggressive sport) from a psychological perspective.
- How to be extra constant from a psychological perspective.
What are two overarching concepts that span the e book?
One overarching concept is that every baseball participant must develop a psychological course of (a system) that works for himself. Works means he can deal with his course of when distractions occur, particularly when adversity occurs. Many distractions are ideas and feelings that drift into the gamers’ thoughts in consequence successes and failures. The e book’s concept jogged my memory of a good thing about training yoga.
Another overarching concept is that getting higher at baseball is a three-step course of that takes time: realizing it, doing it, and proudly owning it. That three step course of applies to getting higher mentally.
What are a number of concepts that meant one thing to me?
Improvement begins with a optimistic focus and an expectation that one thing good (success) might occur. Being an optimist is a part of who I’m, so this jogged my memory that I’m typically able to bettering regardless of my shortcomings.
When distractions and adversity occur throughout a apply session, it’s a superb factor as a result of the participant can reinforce/sharpen his psychological methods (his system).
Simplify your inside consciousness with a stop-light concept. Green means you’re feeling good and are at your peak efficiency. One concept is that ideally your psychological course of will assist you to attain inexperienced and it’ll assist you to keep inexperienced. Another concept is that your psychological course of helps you higher compete if you find yourself yellow. When taking part in pickleball, my consciousness clearly tells me that some days are inexperienced and a few days are yellow. When my day is yellow, psychological self-talk may help me compete higher regardless of not being inexperienced.
What are a pair concepts about consistency?
Every day, a high athlete’s peak bodily capabilities can differ. On days when their bodily capabilities are lower than 100%, their psychological course of may help them compete higher. Thereby, their outcomes are extra constant than their peak bodily capabilities.
Every hour, and maybe each minute, ideas and feelings can hijack a participant’s psychological recreation. One method to forestall a hijack is routines. Another method to forestall a hijack is consciousness of the unhelpful emotion/thought coupled with realizing (from expertise) what works to place his psychological recreation again on observe.
The e book talked about 12 methods for fulfillment.
Near the tip, the e book talked about 12 methods for fulfillment. Success for every technique is about tipping the steadiness between two competing views. Although the e book is lengthy (375 pages), my view is that the methods part wanted extra pages of clarification.
The final chapter was maybe the most effective.
The final chapter was about making use of the e book’s concepts to any life pursuit. For some folks, studying that chapter could be all they wanted to dwell a greater life!
Summary.
This e book is efficacious to anybody who competes and desires to get higher. Some readers is not going to like that the e book may be very lengthy. My perception is that if getting higher was straightforward, then everybody would do it.
I discovered some fantastic concepts. When I apply taking part in pickleball whereas making use of a pair concepts, I’m assured they may enhance my recreation. Eventually once I constantly use the concepts that work for me, they are going to be a part of my course of. I’ll personal my enchancment with gratitude to this e book.
