Fans watching the game on television or even at the stadium don't have access to the mind games a pitcher must play in order to get through an at-bat, an inning, a game. Tewksbury explores the fascinating psychology behind baseball, such as how players use techniques of imagery, self-awareness, and strategic thinking to maximize performance, and how a pitcher's strategy changes throughout a game. He also offers an in-depth look into some of baseball's most monumental moments and intimate anecdotes from a \"who's who\" of the game, including legendary players who Tewksbury played with and against (such as Mark McGwire, Craig Biggio, and Greg Maddux), game-changing managers and executives (Joe Torre, Bruce Bochy, Brian Sabean), and current star players (Jon Lester, Anthony Rizzo, Andrew Miller, Rich Hill).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith Tewksbury's esoteric knowledge as a thinking-fan's player and his expertise as a \"baseball whisperer,\" this entertaining book is perfect for any fan who wants to see the game in a way he or she has never seen it before. \u003cem\u003eNinety Percent Mental \u003c\/em\u003ewill deliver an unprecedented look at the mound games and mind games of Major League Baseball.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBob Tewksbury\u003cb\u003e is the mental skills coach for the Chicago Cubs and was formerly the mental skills coach for the Boston Red Sox and San Francisco Giants.
