this may sound stupid but my daughter actually does several things - deep breaths worked until the pressure was really on. what she found to work the best was to sing her favorite song in her head. it takes the edge off.

oh and by the way - NO MOUNTAIN DEW

OK, first time he talks to a pitcher (if they are new with his team), he tells them to remember the two rules. Then he tells them what the two rules are. Remember, the plan is to get them to laugh and relax.

Number 1:
"I'm fat and"
Number 2:
"You're Ugly"

It makes them laugh. After that, when they are stressed, all he has to say is, "Remember the two rules."
