"We have been looking for a solid pitching mechanics video that we can recommend for all ages. Dan Gazaway has now given us just that... straight forward, detailed, yet not overwhelming. His teaching fits with all the current research without being a science class - just good coaching." -

1) Understanding Confidence. Learn the answers to these key questions: What is confidence? Where does it comes from? Why is it so important?
2) Self-Talk. Learn to use positive self-talk rather than negative self-talk.
3) Be an Actor. Act confident to assist in building confidence.
4) Trust Yourself. Learn how to use mental cues to assist in developing self-trust, i.e. self-confidence.
