Baseball Story TimeMy first real experience with imagery and visualization.
My sophomore year of high school we were headed to the State Tournament. The tournament started on a Thursday. The night before, our assistant coach at the time Toby Wilson had the entire team...
meet at the baseball fieldhouse at 7pm. We had no idea what the meeting was about. As we walked in, he pointed and said âfind a place to lay down on the floor and get comfortableâ. We all spread out and found our spots.

Toby said, âVisualize being successful this weekend. Visualize hitting, pitching, fielding, everything! Visualize DOGPILING on Saturday.â
