Tracy Smith (@ASUSkip) is the manager of the Arizona State University baseball team. His earlier colegiate managerial career included Indiana University, which he led to a College World Series, and Miami of Ohio.

In this video, shot at a PCA-Phoenix event that also included Grand Canyon University Manager Andy Stankiewicz (@turntwo17), Smith discusses how having a strong game plan can help eliminate pressure by addressing its underlying feelings: nervousness and unpreparedness. He emphasizes that if both the players and coaches are confident in the game plan, the pressure can be eliminated.
