Before the season started this summer, the Knoxville Baseball Squad brought in a mental performance coach to prepare the season. Coach Turner Devore tells KNIA/KRLS Sports he saw the benefits almost immediately but it took some of the guys a little bit into the season to get the full coaching.

Devore: “That was one of things we talked about. We did some mental conditioning with a mental performance coach and we learned about being in green light/red light and how to finish that off.”

Devore adds he talked about we over me concept where individual thinking was not as good as a collective. The Panthers finished the season with a 16-18 record.
