To avoid burn-out (avg 145-155 games/year) I work different levels of ball.
If I schedule a bunch of juco games (my highest level right now), or 10 or 15 FED varsity games in a row, then I make sure my next game or two is at the rec park or a ninth grade game, and that I have fun during the games. Meaning I don't carry an attitude with me at the youth league, and I don't go to pop off to coaches because I know I can get away with more there. I go with a big smile, stay relaxed, turn in my best game, and enjoy myself and the no-pressure situation.. Of course, the reverse is also true. Too many lower level games can get me too relaxed and ruin my zone. So I schedule a couple of plates at tough games and really dig in the next game or two. One peice of advice, Pete. When you're on the field, forget your internet persona. No introspection, no self doubt, no philosophical questions. Just make the calls and enjoy the moment. Best of luck to you. Jordan
