gofundme.com: should we start a page for 'rhea Rod so he can afford a nutritionist?

And yes, an article was written about Hood's nerves before games last year. He had this occasional problem since college. I doubt there is any medical answer, unless you want to have him on mood suppressors all the time. He says he reads certain Bible passages that help calm his nerves before the game.

Looks like he threw up before and during games while at Duke.

Should read Playboy instead.

That’s what the catcher on Major League 2 did for his anxiety of throwing back to the pitcher. Perhaps that’s what you were referencing.
 
Decent chance that he has anxiety-induced IBS (or something similar). It's hell. I understand why people like to joke about it, but the reality is that there are no simple fixes to the problem. Sometimes a low FODMAP diet (which is really restrictive) can help, but it's no guarantee.

Zoloft could be a relatively simple fix. I don't think he needs to worry about dietary changes at all. It's 100% mental.

Ive never taken an anti-depressant like zoloft, but I'd imagine it would not be something you want an athlete on.

It not infrequently causes GI upset.

It wouldn't have any effect on athletics in general.
