So you want softball stuff for Christmas…

In this article I’m going to show you how to ask and get all the softball things you want for Christmas.

First thing you need to do is set the TAI Sports Blog as your default home page on your Internet browser. If you’re running Mozilla, click here for directions. For Internet Explorer users, click here. By setting the default homepage on your computer at home, this will automatically remind your wife/girl friend or mom about softball and softball accessories. It’s kinda underhanded what you’re doing, but hey, we’re in it to win it!

The next step is to email them links to the TAI Blog with all the different things you want for Christmas. If you wanted a Bling Jersey, send them this link: https://taisports.wordpress.com/2010/12/13/bling-doesnt-have-to-be-expensive/

If you want the new Elite fitted hats, send them this: https://taisports.wordpress.com/2010/12/06/new-elite-hats-in-3-colors/

If pink pants and jerseys are you thing…more power to you, but here’s the link:https://taisports.wordpress.com/2010/11/30/the-pink-pants-are-herethe-pink-pants-are-herethe-pink-pants-are-here/

How about a Shake Weight? Uncle Bill loves his!

Now that you’ve sent out the “hints,” the next step is to do something we called in Special Forces “Psychological Operations” or PSYOP. If you’re not familiar with this practice, here’s a brief definition: “Induce or reinforce foreign attitudes and behavior favorable to U.S. objectives. Influence emotions, motives, and behavior of foreign governments, organizations, groups, and individuals.”

So for you, what you’d need to do is use softball terms in ways she’d understand. Here’s a PSYOP tactic called the Sandwich. Here’s how it works. You go shopping with your wife, compliment her on all the things she looks at, if she comes out of the dressing room with a dress, you say, “whoa babe, that dress is a HOMERUN!” If she shows you a pair of shoes, you say, “Those shoes make your ankles look soooo tiny and your calves TONE!” If she shows you a sweater, you say, “I bet that will keep you warm during my league night games! Make sure you BUY it babe!”

If you didn’t notice it, the Sandwich tactic works by introducing a softball keyword such as HOMERUN, then compliment keyword injected in the middle,TONE, and you finish it off with another softball keyword, LEAGUE NIGHT GAMES. The purpose of the sandwich is to reinforce your agenda of softball, you have to keep reminding her about softball even though you’re doing something she may enjoy, such as shopping.

To pull of a Shock and Awe effect while using PSYOP tactics…get a couples manicure and pedicure….that will blow her mind away!

Last but not least. Tell her that if she gets you ALL…not just a few, but ALL of the softball stuff you want for Christmas, then you’ll take her on a fancy trip in the Summer. Hopefully she’ll forget by then and you wouldn’t have to take her. But if she remembers, the best thing to do is book a weekend at a Bed and Breakfast, its cheap and only a few hours away.

If you follow the tactics described above, you WILL get everything on your wish list this Holiday Season. If you don’t its because you omitted 1 or 2 steps and you probably don’t have enough confidence to pull through with all of them.
