4. Poor body language.

5. Not playing to your potential. 

6. Low confidence.

If your team or baseball players struggles these Red Flags it is important to address them immediately. Working harder doesn’t solve these problems. Maturing doesn’t solve these problems. You don’t get better at Math by studying English. You need to address the problem head on. 

Tackle these Red Flags now so that you will not be plagued with them throughout your entire career.

Each of these can be improved with the right Mental Reps. As baseball players we take thousands of physical reps a week (hitting, pitching. fielding). Take the right Mental Reps each week as well and that’s when you break through plateaus and Jump Levels!
