How Can You Overcome Throwing Problems?
If you miss routine throws or make wild pitches during games, you’ll should read article closely…
I outline my philosophy about the throwing yips below. I call it the yips cycle.
To overcome throwing problems, you have to attack the yips cycle at every step.
You may recall my version of the yips cycle–see image below…
The Yips Cycle
You have to attack the yips at every stage of the yips cycle.
The two most important things you must do to overcome the throwing problems include:
- Free up your throw in practice, warm up, and in games.
- Get beyond the fear of failure or embarrassment.
Confidence will only return to your game when you can free up your throwing and learn to throw freely under pressure.
However, in order to throw freely you have have to overcome your specific fear about missing routine throws or making wild pitches.
But a great place to start is with my Baseball Yips Report, which helps you the yips cycle.
You might already have it, but if you missed my report, you can download it here:
The next think you have to do is uncover the specific fear that you have about making a bad throw. And often the fear is not about missing per se, but what comes with missing–what I call the “aftermath of missing.”
For example, do you worry about what teammates or coaches will think if you continue to make bad throws?
Do you question if you should continue to play baseball or softball if you can’t perform up to your potential?
If you can do these two important steps, you are much closer to throwing freely!
