Product Description
Written for high school and college players and their coaches, Between the Lines is an introduction of the mental game and the effect of the mental game on confidence and success in hitting in the sport of softball. Much of the player experience contained in this book was obtained through interviews with top 20 NCAA collegiate players. The book includes photos of players using their mental skills as well as quotes from their own experiences using these skills. The book will also provide feedback sheets that give the reader the opportunity to individually apply the skills taught in the book to her game.

Between the Lines provides players with information about what the mental skills of hitting are and how to apply them correctly to enhance their performances without the help of a coach or sports psychologist. It is easy to read and any player can relate to the events in the book.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent Book for both Coaches and Players   January 21, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I just recently read the book "Between the Lines" and I was very pleased with how easy the book was to read as well as the content in the book. The author is very detailed about everything that is in the book, so you do not have to be a sports psychologist to understand the material. One of my favorite topics the author covered was the difference between a "Hit" and a "Quality at Bat." This topic was something I never thought of until now, but made so much sense. I have been a softball player for over 15 years and I am now starting to get involved with coaching and I would say this book is a MUST read for both players and coaches.


5 out of 5 stars An excellent supplemental resource for softball players   July 9, 2007
 1 out of 3 found this review helpful

Written by college softball coach Yasmin Mossadeghi and sport psychology expert and softball coach Patricia Laguna, Ph.D., Between the Lines: The Mental Skills of Hitting for Softball is a no-nonsense guide to the nuances of softball batting. Chapters cover how to face a dominant or nondominant pitcher, practical skills for mental drill rehearsal, how to adjust to the role of designated hitter, and much more. Black-and-white photographs illustrate this point-by-point, in-depth guide. An excellent supplemental resource for softball players, recommended for high school libraries and the personal bookshelves of any dedicated softball athlete.
