Holistic Health

As a baseball player at Hibbing Minnesota North College, I recently got introduced—along with my teammates—to the tapping method as a way to manage stress and feel more comfortable both on and off the field. Before that, a lot of us struggled to separate our mental and physical challenges, and it was affecting how we played and worked together as a team.

After learning about tapping and how we could use it to shift negative thoughts into more positive and focused ones, things started to change. We felt more connected, more grounded, and it showed—right after we started using it, we went out, played hard, and won. It really felt like it brought the team together in a new way.a

I might not fully understand how it worked on an individual level for everyone, but I love how it impacted our group and how it promoted mental strength and unity. I really believe in the idea of helping athletes with their mental health and giving us tools to be stronger within ourselves.

"I truly believe that tapping works. Just this past weekend, our team pulled off a surprising 3–1 victory against a conference opponent that was expected to beat us. What stood out to me most wasn’t just the win—it was the shift in emotional and physical energy I saw in everyone. Even our body language changed. When we reminded each other to 'tap, tap, tap,' it helped refocus our mindset. Tapping gave us a tool to channel positivity, turning pressure and doubt into confidence and calm. I’ve seen firsthand how it can engage the mind in a powerful way, and I really do believe it makes a difference."

Coach's Testimonial – The Impact of Simplified Emotional Freedom Technique Tapping

"I'm the head baseball coach here at the Minnesota North Campus. We had Tina come in to work with our team on tapping and visualization techniques. The impact was immediate. Our first game after her session, the players really bought in—I'd say about 90% were fully engaged, while around 10% were a bit skeptical, which I imagine is pretty typical.

But the results spoke for themselves. The players started using the tapping as a rallying cry during the game. After a big hit, you'd see guys tapping their heads, repeating the sequence—it became part of our team culture instantly. We ended up playing the best baseball we had all season. The guys were more confident, more aggressive—it was phenomenal.

We had another game that Saturday before Easter, and I actually led the team through the tapping and visualization myself. I walked them through the process—eyes closed, tapping specific points, visualizing both success and failure—and once again, we played some of our best baseball.

Tina did a phenomenal job and even came out to support both games in person. This is definitely something we’ll continue to use for the rest of the season."
