Keep a Baseball Journal

One of the best pieces of advice I can give to you is to keep a baseball journal.

I'll say it AGAIN.

One of the best pieces of advice I can give to you is to keep a baseball journal.

I'm referring to a REAL journal - one that has paper and a pencil/pen. Typing notes on your mobile phone is NOT the same.

It is important to write down notes after every practice, game, and/or anything that you are thinking about.

Record your goals.

Reflect on your progress.

Grapple with issues.

Organize ideas.

Plan, scheme, ponder, rant, question, draw, and rejoice.

Writing in a journal helps you focus and organize your thoughts in a way for them to sink into your subconscious.
