huge a spring training camp with highly
00:06
experienced Fisher David Guardsman who's
00:07
played for 14 different major league
00:10
baseball teams and you got an
00:12
interesting take on fear about it I have
00:14
fear here's the thing is when I pitch I
00:16
pitched for 15 years didn't scared every
00:20
single time I threw the baseball every
00:22
time I went out there and pitch closed
00:24
major league games my biggest fear was
00:26
pitching in close ball games and that
00:28
was my job I was closing so that every
00:30
time I had to step on the field was my
00:32
fear but I you know what I did was I was
00:36
able to transition when that phone call
00:38
came I was so scared my heart was
00:40
pounding going out there being nervous
00:42
but when I took the ball I knew I was
00:45
ready I prepared I had a routine I had
00:47
my work ethic I went in and went back
00:49
made sure all the hitters I knew
00:51
everything was gonna happen to me it's
00:53
rented that ball my mind immediately
00:55
call it quiet life and so it doesn't
00:58
matter being scared being nervous done I
01:01
always called it a heightened sense of
01:03
awareness and I was that just made my
01:05
body ready to execute a plan but I had
01:08
to make sure I had that plan ready and
01:10
that's what calm so using that
01:12
heightened sense of awareness what I'd
01:14
call using fear as fuel give me the two
01:17
or three steps that you prepared you
01:18
know what what in your mind allowed you
01:20
to flip that switch why no it was it was
01:23
it was like I said the knowledge that I
01:25
had prepared I go out there the extra
01:27
work all the time make sure I knew
01:29
everything about every hitter the
01:30
situation during the game I would
01:32
actually look at the lineup and make
01:33
sure try to figure out where I wasn't
01:35
the lineup work on that so I did all my
01:37
prep so that didn't be one to is I would
01:39
control my breathing calm myself down
01:42
visualize take a deep breath through my
01:47
nose out my mouth really tried to slow
01:50
my heart down and then to was I just had
01:53
the fun that helped me out a lot was I
01:56
get nervous I'd be up there I'd worried
01:58
I'd do my breathing I'm like okay left
01:59

02:01
put a smile on my face enjoy myself
02:03
