After striking out, I…
*
😡 Lose emotional control — slam equipment, drop posture, get loud, or visibly show anger/frustration
😕 Hold frustration in — stay quiet but tense, head down, negative self-talk, carry it into the next moment
😐 Try to reset but still feel frustrated — take a breath but emotions leak; next at-bat or next pitch still affected
🧘 Reset cleanly — deep breath, posture up, back in control mentally within seconds (rare)
🤷 I’m not sure / inconsistent — sometimes good, sometimes not
After making an error, I…
*
😡 Carry frustration forward — lose composure, rush the next play, can’t shake it
😕 Look calm on the outside but distracted/disappointed — body is present, mind is still on the mistake
😐 Feel like I reset, but don’t bounce back well — know what I should do, but emotions still affect performance
🧘 Reset quickly — breathe, lock in, next pitch is clean and controlled (rare)
🤷 I don’t know / inconsistent
When the umpire strikes you out on a bad call, I…
*
😡 React emotionally — argue (verbally or in body language), lose focus, let the moment control me
😕 Stay quiet but blame the umpire — frustration isn’t explosive, but I hold onto the call mentally
😐 Try to move on, but mentally stay stuck — pretend I reset, but it still affects confidence or next AB
🧘 Reset instantly — breathe, accept, move on, regain control with zero lingering frustration (rare)
🤷 Not sure / depends on the day
In a high-pressure at-bat, I…
*
😣 Get nervous and doubt myself — my thoughts speed up, confidence dips, body tightens
😬 Try to stay calm but feel the moment take over — tension rises, breathing gets shallow, swing/rhythm changes
😐 Want to succeed badly but rarely execute — mindset is positive, but mechanics and decision-making fall off
🧘 Use breathing + anchor phrases to stay present — slow breath, clear plan, composed and focused (rare)
🤷 I’m not sure / depends on the day
In a slump, I…
*
😡 Panic and try to change everything — mechanics, stance, timing, cues… nothing feels stable
😕 Accept the slump and hope it passes — try things half-heartedly, motivation drops
🏃 Get frustrated but keep grinding — effort is high, but mental game gets inconsistent
🧘 Trust my routine + reset daily — stick to identity habits, stay composed, focus forward (rare)
🤷 It is what it is / unsure
