The Slugger Journal: A Guide to Help Hitters Become Mentally Elite

by Richie Shaffer

Hitting is one of the most mentally taxing and difficult tasks in sports, yet the mental side of hitting is both tragically under-taught and under-emphasized. Nearly every great hitter has a quote out there about how the mental game is the most important aspect of hitting, yet most players spend hours in the cage trying to perfect their swing and don't spend a second on their mental game... why? Because until now, they didn't have the tools or knowledge at their disposal to do so. All that changes with The Slugger Journal. The mission of The Slugger Journal is to unlock the talent of every baseball player on the planet. So that each player can reach their fullest potential, whatever that may be. Not every player can be physically elite, but EVERY player can be mentally elite! And that starts by having the tools in place to be mentally unbreakable.

Paired as a companion to Richie Shaffer's 6 Tool Athlete Mental Skills System, The Slugger Journal is the tool for every hitter from the Big Leagues to Little League!
