Watch as Coach Bob Ligouri asks three of his players if they have developed any routines or tricks for dealing with pressure. Player #1 looks in the mirror as she is doing her hair and repeats positive affirmations. She also writes on her wrist, "don't think," as a reminder to stay in the moment. Player #2 takes a couple deep breaths and stares at a focal point on her bat between pitches when she is hitting. When she plays in the outfield, she sings to help herself relax. Player #3 has a reset button between each pitch by readjusting her face mask.
