GOODYEAR, Ariz. – It clicked in Billy Hamilton’s mind as soon as he heard it.
Thursday the Reds’ center fielder went to a chiropractor who told him that when his mind was tense, his body followed. Any tension in the brain went from inside his head, down into his neck, shoulders and lower back. Mental tension equals physical tension.
It makes all the sense in the world to him. It’s simple, but a relaxed mind leads to a relaxed body.
Even though this way of thinking about it was just explained to him in those terms this week, he saw the results of a similar approach during the second half of last season.
