Baseball Yips Cured? One Player’s Results
by DrTom on Monday, playbigbaseball.com & yipsbegone.com
I’ve been working extensively with the baseball yips these past 4 or 5 years.
This past month I’ve started coaching 4 to 6 new clients each week. Tis the season as baseball and softball are kicking into gear.
Players often hope the baseball yips or throwing yips have gone away over the winter, but usually they don’t.
I’ve worked with many men in their 40′s who got the yips as a young man and it knocked them out of the game. But now they just want to play catch with their son or throw him batting practice but can’t.
My success varies with each player, but they very consistently are in good shape in just a few weeks, sometimes just a few days.
Here’s an email I got from a brand new client yesterday:
“I don’t think I need another session yet I’ve been throwing well even in games where the pressure is greatest.”
That’s what we like to hear!
But again, I can’t promise that, especially in one session. As soon as I get arrogant I run into Moby Dick. But that then just makes me bigger — I take it as a personal challenge and almost always get the job done.
