What can I do to stop being nervous when I'm up to bet?

I used to be all calm and cool at the plate but lately I have been getting very nervous when I get up to hit. If there is any thing that I can think of when I'm up to hit to make me less nervous. I'll do whatever it takes. Please Help!!!!!!!

Update:

My bad I meant to say Bat.

    Just stay calm, when your up to bat.

    I was hit in the side of face in high school and had this same problem for a few games. What I did to correct it was either bite or chew on the left collar of my jersey. It also keeps your head straight and allows to you focus on the pitch better as well. Another trick is to "play the piano" or in other words, grip and un-grip the bat in your hand while you are holding it. The mind only lets you do so many things at once and doing something little along with concentrating on the pitch cancels out your minds ability to be nervous!

  • I think that you mean that you get scared when you are up to BAT, take some deep breathing exercises and practice hitting off a pitching machine, once you get used to being up to the plate, you won't be that scared anymore hopefully.

    What is there to get nervous about? Go up there and swing the bat. Don't think about anything, clear your mind. Maybe don't play anymore if you can't shake that feeling.

    May not work with you, but try humming or thinking about your favorite childhood theme song (Fresh Prince of Bel air, Family Matters, Doug, Salute Your Shorts, Hey Arnold are the theme songs i used)

    Just be confident in your choice. Don't put any money on your bet that you're not prepared to lose.
