Steve Tarde Teaches Movies to Athletes

Steve Tarde Teaches Movies to Athletes and Coaches Seeking Championship Goose Bumps!

I help athletes and coaches to become champions.
It started with a Movie I made just before my final at bat in the last inning in a game against Northport High School in Long Island, New York.
It was in the year that rocked America.
That would be 1968.
I was 18 years old as I stepped to the plate.
The score was 2-1 Northport and we were down to our very last out.
We had a runner perched on second base.
Having struck out my two previous at bats, I should have walked to the dish with one thing in mind.
Not striking out to end the game.
That would have been the mindset of most athletes.
Something happened to me on my way from the batter circle to home plate.
A Movie began to play in my mind.

I stepped into the batter’s box and locked into the eyes of the southpaw hurler. No longer did I have a feeling of desperation. That was replaced with a confident detachment. I wasn’t fixed on the outcome of this one at bat. I wasn’t fixed on it because my lack of confidence had been replaced with unbounded confidence. I expected to get a hit.
The pitch came across the plate and the next sound I heard was the sweet crack of the bat. We still used wood in those high school games long ago. The ball shot over the head of the shortstop and began to dance into left center field. The tying run scored and when the dust had lifted, I was standing on second base.
I could hear car horns blowing from my friends’ cars beyond the right field fence. I rubbed the goose bumps on my arms and bathed in the spotlight every athlete dreams of………………..

Suddenly, the umpire brought me back to the present:
“Play Ball!”
Was that a reverie I had been experiencing?
Was any of it real?
Of course, I was seconds from knowing the real answer.
Still, it had all seemed so real. It was if I had been here before.
And then the pitch came in and my bat drove the ball over the shortstop and began to dance into left center field. The tying run scored, car horns began to blow……….and you know the rest of the story.
And for the past forty years, I have taught thousand of athletes and coaches to have their goose bumps moment.
Maybe you will be the next athlete or coach who I will teach the power of Movies.
Then you will be on your way to your own personal championship moment.
