What if the #1 skill in chess is also the missing piece in your game? Host Robby Soul reveals why calculation—systematically predicting what happens next—separates elite players from everyone else grinding in the minors.

In chess, calculation isn't guessing. It's visualizing sequences, imagining resulting positions, evaluating outcomes, and making decisions based on that mental work. Every strong chess player develops this skill through thousands of hours. Now you'll learn how to apply it on the diamond.

Discover the hidden truth: A two-strike foul ball keeps the count the same, but everything has changed. The pitcher is throwing extra pitches and getting fatigued, you've seen more of his arsenal, the pressure's building, and you're still alive, extending your at-bat...

Things are shifting even when the scoreboard isn't—this is advanced thinking most players never develop!

Learn how elite hitters calculate pitch sequences based on count, tendencies, and game situation. How elite pitchers think like hitters to deceive and set up sequences 2-3 pitches ahead. How baserunners calculate timing, not just speed, to steal successfully.

Your assignment: Before each pitch this week, calculate what's most likely to happen next. After games, journal the calculations you made and track accuracy over time.

Stop waiting for "baseball IQ" to develop naturally. It won't. Calculation is trained, not inherited.

T-PEG (see previous episode) gives you pitch-to-pitch consistency. But what about game-to-game? Host Robby Soul reveals how elite performers use pregame rituals to trigger peak state and deliver consistent results when the lights come on.

Discover the secret behind legends like Michael Jordan (cleaned car before every game), Wade Boggs (chicken before every game), Tiger Woods (red shirt on Sundays), and Kobe Bryant (Halloween theme song for "killer" mindset). Even Alex Ovechkin—now the NHL's all-time leading goal scorer—credits his own unique ritual for success.

The common thread? Each ritual is authentic to the individual, triggers a specific mental state, and creates the predictable sequence your brain needs to ward off The Devil Inside.

Learn why pregame rituals reduce decision fatigue, signal the transition from normal mode to competition mode, and why you can't copy someone else's routine and expect the same results.

Robby breaks down the essential elements: timing, music, physical preparation, mental preparation, and your unique authentic trigger. Learn the difference between being superstitious and being intentional, and why your ritual must work for every game—not just the big ones.

Your assignment: Design your pregame ritual this week. Write it step-by-step, test it before your next game, and refine based on what genuinely locks you in.

Your ritual tells your body and mind: "It's GO TIME."

Let's build your Major League Mind.

Most players have an inconsistent mental approach, pitch-to-pitch. Today, host Robby Soul delivers a game-changing 4-step system that elite chess players use for every move—and he's adapted it for baseball so you can lock in bulletproof focus on every single pitch.

Introducing T-PEG: Trigger—Plan—Exhale—Go. This isn't theory—it's a proven routine that eliminates mental clutter and creates the consistency that separates Big Leaguers from everyone else grinding in Triple-A.

Discover how chess masters maintain flawless execution under pressure using systematic mental checklists, and why baseball's natural reset points between pitches are the perfect opportunity to run the same process.

Learn specific T-PEG applications for pitchers (command + composure), hitters (recognition + balance), and defensive players (anticipation + reaction).

The Devil Inside can't interrupt a locked-in routine—you're not leaving room for him. When your process is automatic, your execution becomes unstoppable.

Your assignment: Create your personal T-PEG this week. Write it on an index card and use it in every practice session. Take the 21-Day Challenge—by day 21, it becomes automatic and you'll feel weird not doing it.

This is the foundation of elite performance... T-PEG. Every pitch.
