"A Game ... and Life Changer"

“Dr. Tom’s first book, Heads-Up Baseball, changed my life and the lives of the players I worked with for over 15 years.

You should see my copy of it - so worn, dog eared and highlighted it’s barely hanging together. But, I will NEVER give it up. It’s one of the prized possessions of my baseball library.

So let me give you a “heads up:” PLAY BIG will change your life. It is a mandatory reading for any coach,player or parent who wants to be successful in the game of baseball. I would stand behind anything Dr. Tom Hanson does. He is one of the great people in baseball!”

Paul Reddick, “The Master of MPH” 90mphClub.com

This Book is NOT About Making a Slight Improvement...

While I knew I stunk as a player, what I didn't know was that this dark night of my soul was actually the dawning of the most important, most shocking, and most wonderful experience of my life so far.

In fact, I was just a few outs from the start of an adventure that may, before this is all over, change the way baseball is played forever.

From page 12, "PLAY BIG"

“PLAY BIG is a brilliant introduction to the science of intentionality. Hanson cleverly and skillfully combines a wonderful story with otherwise complex theories and principles in a way that’s enjoyable and simple to understand. It’s a worthy successor to Millman’s classic Way of the Peaceful Warrior.”

"I'm not an athlete, but WOW!, you don't have to be to love this book.  This applies to everyone.  The first time I treid the ABC's I knocked the socks off the teachers I was coaching and created a breakthrough turning point for them."

"Tom has done an excellent job putting the principles of the Mental Game into literary format. His creative ability to discuss the the mental skills of performance in an engaging manner is truly exceptional. He also presents new ideas on techniques for energy management. This book can definitely help someone improve their performance on and off the field."

"If you were to ask the greatest ball players who ever lived how much of their sport is mental, the most common answer would be ‘90%.’ With this in mind you'd think most instructional books would focus on the inner game, but sadly, very few mention it at all. In Dr. Tom Hanson's PLAY BIG, the inner game of baseball is covered in such great detail that your outer game will improve almost immediately. Want to hit homeruns and throw no-hitters in baseball - or the game of life itself, then PLAY BIG is your ticket to the stadium where the biggest games are always played out first.

“If 90% of this game is half mental, then everyone should call Dr.Tom. I recommend him to players of any age regardless of level, as he helps everyone who gets near him.”

“Dr. Tom Hanson has done it again.  First, in the mid-1980s to boost sports performance, he was a leader in bringing cognitive-psychology methods to baseball as a co-author of the baseball classic, Heads-Up Baseball.  Now, he is leading the way as a pioneering sports-performance expert boldly bringing innovative, effective and dependable body-energy based methods into the mainstream of the baseball world through a creative baseball novel. I used the tapping methods described in this book with the Oregon State University baseball team that won back-to-back College World Series championships in 2006 & 2007 – let me tell you: they work!

“In 2004 I was killed in a car wreck. I obviously didn’t stay dead but I saw some amazing things during that time and I can tell you, Dr. Tom, you are exactly right, what you wrote in PLAY BIG. See, I saw it first hand. Its all energy and all about what you choose to send out, positive or negative. I tell people this but I think they go along with it till I am gone and then they laugh at what a kook I must be. Well, when I read this book it hits it right on the head! You are exactly right!
