Many of you may have heard of the “Inverted U of energy.”
Some call it the “Inverted U of success.”
As you can see from the diagram below, as emotion (or
energy) rises, success increases. However, when one is over-emotional or
over-energetic, performance suffers. On a graph, this creates the “inverted U.”
We talk about the “Inverted U” with our hitters all the
time. It’s a simple reminder to be focused without being intense. “Tense” and
success are two words that do not function well together in hitting. We all
know this, sure, but SHOWING our visually-stimulated players how and why is
often as important as telling them.
