  What does it mean to play heads-up baseball? A heads-up player has confidence in his ability, keeps control in pressure situations, and focuses on one pitch at a time. His mental skills enable him to play consistently at or near his best, despite the adversity baseball presents each day. My ability to fully focus on what I had to do on a daily basis was what made me the successful player I was. Sure, I had some natural ability, but that only gets you so far. I think I learned how to focus; it wasn't something that I was necessarily born with. - Hank Aaron. Developing and refining my mental game has played a critical role in my success in baseball. For years, players have had to develop these skills on their own. This book provides practical strategies for developing the mental skills that will help speed you towards your full potential. - Dave Winfiel.
