Play Big: Mental Toughness Secrets That Take Baseball Players to the Next Level

I coach baseball and sometimes teaching mental toughness is hard, this book does it in a way that doesn't feel like they are being lectured to or even being told they don't have mental toughness. I bought it for my son and 5 other players. Way of the Warrior Kid series is a great series too, different Author. My son has read the 4 books in that series multiple times and references them often.

Gives real world training that will help any athlete play better and feel better about themselves. Give it a try.

Great book on playing baseball but can be applied to many other areas.

Great book. Right at my kids level- 13. Would still be fine for 10 or 11 I’m sure. Really improved his focus at the plate and eliminated some of those nagging thoughts. And certainly some good life lessons to boot Would highly recommend for anyone. -baseball or not.

Great book. Must read for every baseball player 12 and older. Dr. Hanson writes the book with a story line, and introduces concepts throughout the chapters. Its an entertaining yet informative read. When your players get older 15+, I would recommend "Heads Up Baseball' By Dr. Tom Hanson & Ken Ravissa.

My 12 year old son was recently in a baseball slump. Feeling his discouragement I started searching for a book that might relate to a boy his age. He is not a big reader, but once he got started he couldn't put it down. I noticed a change in his attitude and am happy I bought the book.

As a former professional basketball player with a degree in Buddhist studies I found this book quite useful. I have a 16 year old son who plays HS baseball and all the information presented was perfect for a developing player. You have to work on your mental attitude and strength and this book clearly demonstrates methods in a very well written fictional account of a struggling player. I highly recommend this book for any young athlete.

For anyone who has played baseball, this book is right on. Very easy to read with a play by play plot line to follow and to learn. I would recommend this to anyone whether they are in sports or not. Would be good for all walks of life.
