pitching instruction

Confidence and procedure are the keys to success at pitching. One with out the new just doesn't work.



There is something called attention focus that directly relates to each person's ability to concentrate. Subsequently, there are a number of internal distracters which can deter focus, and one of these distracters is attending to past events. When a player gets pre-occupied with past performances (or mechanics) it can cause performance to bear.

Ideal attention focus is shown at the top. But if a player is thinking about too many things - like the crowd, past performance, mechanics, etc. - then his focus is too broad (middle). Conversely, his focus may be too narrow (bottom) if he doesn't consider critical information about his situation (ie. read the scouting report).
