In this episode, we discuss fear. Fear of failure is a real part of baseball, because baseball players fail a lot. Fear is an acid to mental toughness, eating away at confidence, intensity and focus. To control fear, you must directly confront your fear. What potential consequences are you most afraid of? Fear is something that you create in your own mind. Your mind creates exaggerated consequences of failure that must be confronted and challenged.
