[quote=Anonymous]It would have been a better investment if you spent that money on tutors and a baseball coach so that he can over learn skills. Baseball is all about muscle memory. Instead of spending thousands on a psychologist, you could have spent thousands on baseball coaching and attending baseball games. You can't think during a game, there isn't time. He has to react. He has to know what he is going to do in the field before the pitcher pitches the ball. He is getting stressed because he is making errors and then gets so upset he isn't ready for the next play. My older son overthinks and during tryouts looks fantastic because he know he has to field ball and throw to first. Or catch a fly ball. Or hit when a coach is pitching. It isn't mimicking a real baseball game situation. My younger son doesn't look as good at tryouts but plays great in a real game. He pitches and doesn't care if he hits a batter, walks a batter, or someone gets a hit. He takes a breath and throws how he has been taught. My oldest had to over learn the same skills so he stops thinking so much. [/quote]
