Product Description
Following in the classic tradition of his bestselling books, The Mental Game of Baseball and The Mental ABC's of Pitching, noted sports psychologist H.A. Dorfman presents the third book in his instructional baseball series. In The Mental Keys to Hitting: A Handbook of Strategies for Performance Enhancement, Dorfman offers once again clear, specific, practical, and vital instruction on how a player can manage the intellectual and psychological aspects of the game, combine them with physical skills, and play to peak performance at the plate. From chapters devoted to teaching the fundamental skill of "seeing the ball" and the art of self-coaching to ones dedicated to the development of confidence and perspective, The Mental Keys to Hitting is a must addition to every player's training and game day routines. Anyone serious about playing baseball should find this book as important as a bat or a glove.

Excellent Youth Coach's Hitting Manual. SEE THE BALL. June 11, 2001
Hanie E. Cole III (Chocowinity, North Carolina United States)

The Mental Keys to Hitting is the Greatest most user friendly baseball coach's book ever. I thought the mental aspects of Seeing the ball were extremely effective. Most readers reading this review might think that every player is seeing the ball properly. Players do not see the ball as well as they should because they have never been taught the proper mind set of seeing the ball.Coaching hitters to see the ball is one of the most important things a coach can teach his players.This is absolutely not coached at any level of youth baseball. Mr. Dorfman does an excellent job of explaning this simple but often overlooked method of batting. I have bought The Mental Game of Baseball, The Mental Game of Pitching, and The Mental Keys to hitting. These three books are the TOP Three baseball coaching books ever written. I highly recommend this book and the other two books by Mr. Dorfman. This book will teach you the coach how to apply these mental princples to help you to effectively coach your youth league baseball team.

Until I read this book I was throwing helmets, tossing bats, and swearing after every at-bat. The Mental Keys to Hitting gave me confidence to go to the batter's box with a plan and execute to the best of my ability. A must-read for any player.

For some hitters the battle against the pitcher and the defense is lost well before the ball is pitched. As a former head coach and now a hitting instructor at the semi-pro level, I have always been on the lookout for keys and prompts to give to my hitters to clear their mind of everything but a concentration on the ball and solid contact. This book gives me those cues in a simple to understand, and more importantly, a simple way of presenting those mental reminders. I particularly like the three simple questions to ask the hitter after every at bat. "What were you trying to do?", "What went wrong?" ,"What will you do next time?". The techniques suggested to get across to players the oft-repeated theme of this book - "see the ball and be easy!" are easy to understand and implement. I have been much more confident in my ability to get that message into my players heads after reading this book.

I take this book with me in my baseball bag when we go on road trips for consultation after a poor at bat. It is by far the best hitting instructor I have ever had.
