I'll be honest with you, I was the WORST at this as a player.

I was fortunate enough to make it to pro ball (a year and a half of minor leagues with the Astros) on ability and hard work...

...but I was SO hard on myself.

And whenever I would move up a level - whether it be from JV to Varsity, HS to JC, JC to D1 and finally D1 to minors - I would wonder...

"Do I belong here?"

And I'd wait for the results to show up or not to let me know how I should feel about myself.

And you're not gonna believe this...but that type of thinking...

is NOT helpful!

If only I new what I know now.

Take a look at the following example:

and now meet The Lovejoy's

You see, the Jones family means well.

Little Jones loves baseball.

And while he's not the best on his team, he has his moments when he puts it all together when he's really great.

He says that he wants to play in the big leagues someday, and while that's too far off to think about, his parents want to give him every opportunity to reach his goals, whatever that might be.

The problem is that his smooth, quick, carefree swing that he shows at home and at practice hasn't been there on gamedays.

Look at his last at bat:

First pitch, the pitcher comes right at him with a fastball down the middle, and everything about him is slower.

His swing just drifts through the zone, no resemblance to the confident swing Mr Jones has seen him take a thousand times.

"Swing the bat!  Be aggressive!"  Dad shouts suggests.

Now down 0-1, he already looks tight in the box.

"Why is he standing like that?"  Dad wonders.

Pitch comes and he tries to swing harder, but the result is more of a herky jerky swing with no rhythm...timing is all off.

Strike two.

The next two pitches are both balls, he has a pretty good eye most of the time.

Then the 2-2 pitch comes, he takes his hack and again...it looks slower.

He makes contact but it's not that solid.  Ground ball to the shortstop and they get the force out at second.  No hit for little Jones.

And this happens time and time again. 

Dad thinks" If only he would use his GOOD swing, things would be so much better."

And on the car ride home, Dad really gets on a roll.

He doesn't yell...but he's not exactly calm either.

"What were you doing on that first at bat?"  "Just be aggressive"  "You know that thing you were doing with your hands in practice this week that worked so well?  You didn't do that at all today."

Dad's frustrated.

And so is everyone else in the car.

Now, back to the real world...

...and I'll be honest with you, me and my son have been just like the Jones family.

But I finally decided that I didn't want this to be our experience.

I wanted my son to give HIMSELF a chance to succeed, and see what he can do.

And I certainly don't want our baseball experience (which should be peak Father/Son bonding right?) to be be filled with such tension.

So I looked into options.

I read books.

I called on the best minds I could get a hold of.

And I found fantastic news.

There are ACTUALLY steps and strategies that players can use to combat their nerves and play their best baseball.

There is a way to become the Lovejoy's....

In an effort to make sure that my son doesn't miss out on the training that me and my teammates should have received...

I started doing research...

and to be quite honest, I became obsessed with all things thought, brain and self control related.

And what I found is that there are MANY ways for a player to calm the mind and perform with freedom and confidence.

In fact, there were so many good strategies that it made me kinda mad!

Like, this would have been really helpful, ya know?!

And during the Youth Baseball Summit that I hosted earlier this year, I spoke with the most trusted mental skills coaches who are working daily with our multi-million dollar Major Leaguers on getting their minds right...

(because yes, their minds want to play tricks as well)

...and common themes and methods continued to come up....

...very helpful methods that WE'RE NOT EVEN SHOWING to our young baseball players, let alone helping them put into practice.

And in the year 2023 with this being such a problem, this just isn't okay for me.

Imagine if I sent a kid out into the forest and said, "Go kill a bear."

...and gave him no tool or weapon to accomplish his task!

"Figure it out bud, find a way!

"...oh, and stay confident!"

That kid isn't going to last long out there.

And that's EXACTLY what we're doing with our kids on the baseball field...

Hitting a ball isn't what's so hard. Catching isn't what is so hard...

...it's dealing with the mental demons!  

We parents and coaches ask them to slay these demons and give them no tools to do so.

And the result??

Yep, these kids aren't lasting long out there.

But the strategies are out there and I didn't want to wonder "What if" I had shown these techniques to my son. 

He wasn't going to be a Jones, he was going to be a Lovejoy.

I've been a Jones and I'm living life currently as Lovejoy.

And it's good.  

It's definitely better.

There are REAL methods you can use to help your kid manage their emotions.

And as you know, they're *so* close to being great.

He/she just has to get over that hump.

He just needs a little help.

So I've put together a training that your son has been missing out on.

And before I get into the details of the program, I want you to know one thing:

It just works.

I've been so excited about the feedback we've gotten from parents so far, because our kids - YOUR KID - want so badly to play well...

...and you'll spend hundreds, sometimes thousands of dollars in lessons and equipment...

and nothing on what is ACTUALLY holding him back.

Before today, you didn't know of an alternative - I know I didn't.

But your eyes are open now...

...and right now you have the opportunity to step up and give your son (or daughter:) a MAJOR dose of positive mindset, encouragement and emotional control training that he so desperately needs.

And all it takes is just a SINGLE concept to connect with your son to turn him into a totally different player on gameday...

...to go from a Jones to a Lovejoy.

Here's an email from a recent Bulletproof Hitter student:

So cool!

Sometimes kids need juuuuuust one little boost, or permission to let themselves play well.

They're so close to being great.

Here's a facebook thread:

I'll be honest, that one kind of got me...I mean, how good is that???

I know finding programs online can make you scratch your head and wonder:

"Is this for real?"

And listen to me when I tell you: 

Yes, this is for real.  

Kid's careers are being changed and entire family weekends and relationships are being improved.

All because parents had the courage try something new for the sake of their kid's success.

And BTW, I'm not going to charge $1,000 for this either, I want this to be THE difference maker for YOUR kid.

SO HERE'S WHAT IS INSIDE:

(The lessons are kept fairly short: 6-12 minutes, so it will connect with any ballplayer young or old)
