Gina Parris gives us a good illustration of how EFT can improve athletic performance. In this case, it involved her son’s batting form in baseball. The process revealed the tail-enders that were sabotaging his batting. Gina describes how they used them to create affirmations and effective EFT Setups (see chapter 2).

EFT and a Baseball State Championship

by Gina Parris

My son Jordan was a weak batter in his beloved game of baseball. Very often he made the final out of the inning, and he hated that. He had a fear of hitting the ball into the dirt or popping it up and getting thrown out at first. His body simply cooperated to fulfill his anxieties.

During our first EFT session, he realized that, in his mind, he had never been a power hitter. He believed that no one, including himself, thought he could hit. His at-bats simply fulfilled his beliefs, even though he tried to stay positive.

Jordan also made the connection that the college girls he had just watched on TV could hit a ball out of the park because of their form, not their size, so he could choose to hit with perfect form and hit as well as anybody. This was important, because Jordan is a bit more slender than some of his teammates. Jordan’s new thoughts alone were not enough, though. After all, he had made these kinds of observations before.

Before, when trying to be positive, he would tell himself, “I’m going to get a hit, I’m going to get a hit…” but his mind would argue through images of past pop-ups and weak grounders, and the resulting state was one of conflict and doubt.

So we tapped on his self-image of being a weak batter. We tapped on what it takes to be a power hitter. We tapped on how to choose perfect form. Just an hour after our session, he went back to the park where he and his coach worked on his batting form before the game.

In that game, for the first time ever, “skinny Jordan” confidently stepped up to the plate and sent the outfielders scrambling as he hit the ball to the fence! Then he got another hit and another, before finally drawing a walk. His at-bats brought in five runs and the team enjoyed a handy victory. More important, his hitting remained strong after that, and he went on to use the technique to improve his defense as well. His whole season was marked by amazing improvement.

It is interesting to note that it often takes hundreds of swings to correct one’s batting form, but we have seen many examples where an athlete was able to correct his form in one day with EFT tapping. This also applies to golf swings, pitching form, free throws, and other athletics.

The important thing to see here is that Jordan needed time to focus on his distressing thoughts—weak grounders and pop-ups—and clear out their ability to mess up his form. He also needed to be prepared to execute the perfect form that his coach showed him.
