SUPREME PREPARATION

"The night before a game I lie down, close my eyes, relax my body and prepare myself for the game.  I go through the entire lineup of the other team, one batter at a time.  I visualize exactly how I am going to pitch to each hitter and I see and feel myself throwing exactly the pitches that I want to throw.  Before I ever begin to warm-up at the ballpark, I've faced all the opposition's hitters four times and I've gotten my body ready for exactly what it is I want to do."
