FAQ
Questions, answered.
Do coaches need special training to use The Next Rep?
+
No. Coach resources come with simple instructions, real softball examples, short scripts, and drills that fit the practices you already run.
How much practice time does mental game training take?
+
It doesn't need a separate practice. Most exercises take five to ten minutes or are built into batting practice, ground balls, scrimmages, and team huddles.
How do I teach a player to reset after an error?
+
Teach one shared routine — RELEASE the last play, RESET with a breath and a cue, ATTACK the next pitch — then practice it in drills with added pressure so it shows up in games.
What's in the Coach Playbook?
+
A season blueprint (preseason through postseason) where every lesson includes what to say, what to do, what to watch for, how to add pressure, a game cue, and a reflection question. It costs $39.
