This section contains letters written to famous sports figures. Most of these letters are written to members of the New York Yankees. I first became a Yankee fan in 1956 when Don Larsen pitched his perfect game. I am a great believer in visualization. I believe that one major secret of success is visualizing what you want to bring about. This can be applied in any area of life, including sports. Beginning in 1995, I started writing certain members of the Yankees about the benefits of visualization. In 1995, I wrote to Don Mattingly; after that, it was mainly Paul O'Neill. I missed 1997 and 1998, but I did write letters in 1999, 2000, and 2001. I think that these letters are interesting, since they illustrate a technique that can be used by anyone for any project that requires effort. Most years, I would wait till the Yankees have some kind of "slump" early in the season, then write several letters. I also write during the playoffs. I tried to encourage the concept "Visualize a Home Run." I did once get a letter back from Paul O'Neill, although he did not acknowledge my letter. All letters are in PDF format. Several of the PDFs have multiple letters in. |
