Who else wants a competitive edge?

Join more than 145,000 players and coaches, from World Series champions to youth levels, who have found playing heads-up baseball helps them overcome the failure, frustration, and fear the game throws at you each day and instead play with confidence, consistency, and composure under pressure.

Talent, strength, and great mechanics don't matter if you can't compete in games. Developed by working with elite players and coaches over the past 40 years, the strategies and tools in this audiobook (an "upgrade" to the classic 1994 edition) arm you with the approach you need to find out how good you can be at baseball.

Critic reviews

"This book teaches the mental skills you need to gain a competitive edge." (Joe Maddon, manager, Chicago Cubs)
All stars

Overall, this book is very good with a lot of solid approaches to the mental game. There is some redundancy in the content but it’s not a big deal. There is a lot of good content peppered with anecdotes from MLB stars.

If you’re looking for a simple approach to the mental game of baseball that is applicable to other sports and to life, then I think you will like this book.

Solid work. Good food for the brain.

I wish I had read this book 20 years ago. I would have been a better coach, and better leader, and a better husband and father. Highly recommend for anyone looking to improve in any sport or in life in general.

This book is excellent and covers everything most advanced baseball players learn after its too late. This information is the foundation for any seriously competitive ball player. Very well written and great audio delivery.

As a fan, not a coach or player, this book wasn't written for me. But it's essentially a self-improvement book for players and coaches. With ideas that could be attributed to probably any stressful job - or just life.
Honestly, the only thing I wish this book had (besides juicy baseball gossip) is a stronger leaning towards applying the practices in it towards life. - Though there is a clear understanding that they would ask that too.

Great for coaches and players

Great breakdown. I have always been coaching a positive outlook and imagining there situations, but this is what I have been looking for, the complete package. I will begin implementing this is for all our pitchers.

I have been coaching for over 34 years and this book really helped add some knowledge to my coaching which I share with my players. It’s as good as the book all the mental game of baseball I would suggest for any player or coach or parent who has a child playing baseball

Whether you are a coach, player, or just a person looking to improve your approach to challenges, read this book. Yes, it is repetitive. Yes, you should read this book. It reinforces the process driven approach while challenging you to continue competing.

I’ve gone through three copies of this book over the course of my career… reading, underlining, and highlighting on every page because every time I read it, I take away something new. I was fortunate enough to work personally with the author, and I can say firsthand that he gets it. This isn’t just another book by a sports psychologist. Ken immersed himself in the game, spending time with players both on and off the field. He gathered insights from countless athletes, shaping this book into what I call my baseball bible for sharpening mental skills. If you’re serious about the mental side of the game, this is a must read.

Best mental game book hands down
