How to Overcome the Throwing Yips

P.S. Send me feedback on how I can improve. I want to be worthy of your time. I respond to every email.

In 2019, I signed a professional contract with the Philadelphia Phillies.

Soon after, I got a bad case of the yips.  

Like, really BAD.  

When I played catch, I threw the ball away at least 90% of the time.  

One time I threw the ball OUT of the stadium before starting a game.

However I have since competed for 5 years in professional baseball, and throw well (for the most part). 

So, I created a 100 page Ultimate Guide for Overcoming The Throwing Yips.
