Ratings and reviews

This book led me to my best season ever at the plate,batting .757 with 1.7 rbi per game,7 hr and 0 strikeouts...went 10-10 in first 4 games! Ahh to bring back those glory days!

This book has made the biggest change in the way I play baseball. I used to get down on myself but the mental side now has definitely made the difference.

Great book very insightful for a true baseball fan
