Mind Over Mitt: A Kid's Guide to Baseball Confidence (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798255386253)

Mind Over Mitt: A Kid's Guide to Baseball Confidence is a powerful and encouraging baseball story that helps young players build the mental skills they need to handle mistakes, bounce back from tough moments, and stay confident when the pressure is on.

Benny Blaze loves baseball. He basically lives at Connell Park, where his dad runs the field and baseball is a part of everyday life. But when one bad play turns into bad thoughts, Benny starts to realize that the hardest part of the game is not always throwing, hitting, or fielding. Sometimes, it is what is happening inside your own head.

With the help of Coach Angelo, a wise old-school coach who loves the game and the kids he teaches, Benny learns that baseball is played in two places: on the field and in the mind. As the season goes on, he discovers how to reset after mistakes, replace negative thoughts, handle pressure, fight through slumps, and build real confidence one pitch at a time.

Perfect for kids ages 7 to 12, Mind Over Mitt is more than just a baseball story. It is a book about resilience, confidence, and learning how to stay steady when the game gets hard.

This book helps young players learn how to:

• recover after mistakes
• calm their mind under pressure
• replace negative self-talk
• build real confidence through preparation
• stay focused one pitch at a time

A great fit for baseball families, coaches, and young athletes who want to grow stronger both on and off the field.
