“Isn’t it easy? It’s just a matter of feelings.”
For the coach, it must have been a call to encourage players suffering from Yips. However, as the person who was called out, the real intention swirled in my head, “Why don’t you need a coach if you have a problem with your feelings?”
Masahiro Araki says, “70-80% of baseball players have Yips.”
Masahiro Araki, who developed Yips after throwing a ball after regular settlement on the second base, was worried about how to eliminate Yips. There was no shortage of collaborators in the team. However, there was no leader who had experience with Yips in Chunichi at that time. Araki was hurt by his self-esteem every time he was seen asking, “Why can’t you do such an easy thing?”
“It hurt, but from the standpoint of a leader who has never been (Yips), it can’t be helped to think,’Why can’t I?’ So,’Why can’t I?’ I don’t think you should think “What should I do?” But I want you to think “What should I do?”
The symptoms of Yips vary from person to person. In some cases, the ball hit his head when he shook his arm, but Araki wasn’t that bad. Occasionally, his arms were awkward and awkward, but most played cheating.
There was also the option of moving to an outfielder who had experience in his youth. However, Araki decided, “I don’t have that much certainty in hitting power, so I should cure the throwing method in the infield.”
Araki’s main battlefield, the second position, requires throwing various distances. There are short throws, and there are also long throws as a cutman during relay play. For Araki, who says, “I think the second position is easy to get Yips,” what distance was it difficult to throw?
“I don’t really catch up with the ball and throw it, or hurry back home in a cut play, and the last-minute play isn’t that hard. I hate throwing it nearby. There was nothing more. is not it”
