Mental Strategies
You Absolutely Must Know to Overcome
Pregame Anxiety, Fear, and Worry. Learn How to Improve
Your
Sports
Consistency with a Proven Pregame Formula!
From the Virtual Desk of: Patrick J.
Cohn, Ph.D.
Dear Friend,
I'm master mental game coach Dr. Patrick
Cohn. I want to share with you powerful
mental strategies to help you overcome pregame
anxiety and perform your best in competition.
These mental strategies are not new because
I have used them successfully to help my
students reach peak performance
for almost 20 years. What's
unique is a new formula or system I have developed to
teach every athlete and performer how to implement
and apply powerful pregame mental strategies.
But
allow me to set the stage with four very important questions
about your mental game....
Do
you get so tight or tense before competition that you
can't think straight or have freedom of movement?
Do
you become too tight to perform your best because you
worry about embarrassing yourself or making mistakes
in the game?
Do
you have trouble sleeping the night before competition,
can't eat before you compete, or are so
anxious and tense stepping onto the field, court,
course, or track that you are already tired or spent
before competition starts?
Do
you have a physical warm up routine you follow, but
do not pay attention to your mental preparation before
competition?
If you said “yes,” you're
not alone! Many athletes experience feelings
of pregame anxiety and tension. Pregame anxiety is the
number one obstacle to a relaxed and effortless performance
- a quality that you must have to enter the zone!
**Note: your
pregame anxiety or tension will directly impact your
amount of success in sports.
As a sports psychology expert for many
top athletes in the world including NASCAR and PGA Tour
champions, I know that the two biggest obstacles to
reaching your potential are pregame anxiety and
excess tension.
Many athletes don't even consider
the importance of a mental pregame routine. Having a
physical warm up is the easy part or preparing yourself
to play. But you must have a pregame mental
routine that helps you relax,
focus, and be confident for competition.
Athletes who perform with anxiety and
excess tension:
Worry
too much about results or outcomes and tighten up in
the game
Are
afraid of what others may think about them if they
make mistakes
Want
badly to perform up to the expectations
of others and
worry that they won't please others
Are
tired even before competition starts because they are
physically and mentally drained by their pregame anxiety
Are
prone to lose confidence when they
don't know how to react to pregame jitters
Perform
tight, scared, and lose trust in their ability because
they fear mistakes or losing
For the last two decades, I've been working
with athletes and helping them optimize their mental
game strength by teaching them the secrets of top performing
athletes and what I know works.
Now, you too can
learn my complete system for pregame mental preparation
for a poised and relaxed performance!
The ability to relax and play
your game under pressure is what separates
the winner from
the loser in any competition. Champion athletes train
hard in practice, are motivated for the right reasons,
and are able to raise their game
in crunch-time with two minutes remaining in the game..
Relaxed Athletes…
Know
how to prepare themselves mentally for competition
Can
anticipate challenges and rise to the occasion
Use
a systematic pregame routine to help them focus their
best and have complete confidence in their performance
Love
to play in the big game and thrive under big-game
pressure
Feel
challenged instead of anxious and intimidated by the
competition
Perform
with confidence and freedom in competition
How relaxed would you
perform if
you
could overcome pregame anxiety and
mentally prepare for competition consistently?
Working with top level athletes for almost
20 years, I have learned that more practice and effort
does not translate into a relaxed and free performance!
A relaxed and confident performance begins
in the mind! When you are mentally prepared
to compete, you can have an optimal level of
intensity AND poise!
Read a few real life examples of how
your mental game might hold you back from reaching your
athletic potential.…
Volleyball Player Worries
about Consistency
"Anxiety
before a match is what I've been experiencing the
last 2 summers of playing beach volleyball.
Since my beach volleyball partner and I are both
inexperienced, we have a hard time playing consistently.
This is what I always worry about before a game.
I never know which team is going to 'show up' to
play. I always feel that if something starts to
go wrong during the game at all, I can't turn it around
in a positive way because I was already anxious before
the game even started."
Golfer Worries About Other
Peoples' Approval
"I play golf and
I am realizing that I worry too
much of other people's approval and/or respect.
I usually start out playing well, and my attitude is
fine. But once I have my first bad shot, I tighten
up, which of course, makes things worse. Then my focus
(and confidence) is off because I am worrying about
all the wrong things."
Swimmer Becomes Intimidated
by Competitors on the Blocks
“I compare myself to my competitors
before I get on the blocks. I
worry that the fast swimmers will pull away early in
the race. This causes me to
feel anxious about the race and I try too hard to have
a perfect swing. I get tired out on the first leg of
the swim.”
Hockey Goalie Becomes
Stressed Over His Pregame
"I
play a position in a sport where relaxation and confidence
is key. I am a hockey goaltender. I
used to go through a lot of stress if my pregame routine
of stretching, music, and visualization doesn't go
the way I want it to. The main fear that
I go through before competition is fear of failure and
fear of mistakes, which sometimes continues onto
the ice with me."
Tennis Player Worries
About What Coach Thinks
"When I played college tennis,
I worried a lot about performing
well. I would worry about this regardless of who I
was playing. Those
worries did increase if I thought my opponents were
better than me. I wanted my coach
to see me as not only a good player, but a consistent
player. I wanted my coach to
see that I could manage my emotions on the court. Because of my worries, I
had a hard time relaxing during play. Sometimes
I would not relax until the second set. And sometimes
it was too late. Frankly, I wasn't sure how to relax!"
Can you identify with
any
of these real-life scenarios?
In the above scenarios, each athlete
under performs due to anxiety, worry, or fear of
disappointing others. If you identify with these scenarios,
your tension - or mind cramps - due
to anxiety - will cause you to tighten up and
lose freedom or movement and trust.
To
get the most out of your skills and your practice time,
you must learn how to prepare yourself
for a relaxed and effortless performance.
Don't take my
word for the power of mental coaching! Listen to the
audio of what others have to say about "The Confident Athlete"
Programs:
What Athletes & Coaches
Say
About "The Confident Athlete" Programs
"Great
Job of Simplifying the
Myriad of Ideas in Sports Psychology"
“The
workbook/CD programs in ‘The Confident
Athlete Series ’ are
very good. My swimmer has responded very favorably
to them. In fact, her father purchased all
three programs. You have done a great job consolidating
and simplifying the myriad of ideas in sports
psychology.” ~Nick Baker, Peak Performance Swim
Camp
"I
Can Now Once Again Enjoy the Game"
“The Confident Athlete
workbook programs have worked absolutely wonderfully
for me! The quality of my shots has improved
1,000 percent, and my scores are consistently
lower, by far! Also, I have a sense of
peace, and quality enjoyment of the game that
had been sorely missing. I love it! Great
work Dr. Cohn! Thank You!” ~Randy, golfer
"Great
Instruction on the Mental Game"
“Patrick,
with your great instruction on the mental game,
I had the best nationals I have ever had. And
even more important, I got through the five days
relaxed and had fun – a new concept in
my life! The bottom line – I got five
firsts and one second! Thank you! You
are just what I needed.” ~Dennis O’Brien, Swimmer
"Keep
Positive Thoughts Flowing"
“My son finished the
entire Confident Athlete Program. The CD programs
helped TREMENDOUSLY. He used it to keep
positive thoughts flowing. He was able
to focus on his fight instead of on his negative
thoughts. He fought at his very best. We
are thankful to God for leading us to your web
site. The CONFIDENT ATHLETE was perfect." ~Wanda, Sports Parent
“These
Programs Really Work!”
“I
have just completed ‘The
Confident Athlete and The
Focused Athlete’ programs.
What a major difference your programs have made
to me. I was thinking I wasn't good enough and
almost gave the game up. Your web site was recommended
to me by another athlete (a shooter) and was
the best thing that happened to my mental game.
I started to get excited for the first time in
a long while and the program was so much fun
to do. These programs really work and I would
have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone,
(although I don't want my fellow competitors
to know about them).” Thank you so very
much for providing a Mental Training Program,
which is the best I have come across, having
tried many other tapes, books, etc.” ~Peter, New Zealand
“A
Dramatic Improvement In My Play!”
“I first purchased ‘The
Confident Athlete’ to see how the program
went and immediately saw results. I then purchased
the rest of the Confident Athlete Series and have
noticed a dramatic improvement in my level of play
or should I say consistency. I currently play NCAA
Division 1 baseball for Lamar University, and even
my coaches have noticed a change in the way that
I approach the game. My attitude and confidence
at the plate. I am able to get into that
zone were I am able to narrow my focus on to the
task at hand. Thank you for helping in my continuing
goal to mental toughness.” ~Tylor Prudhomme
“The
Most Powerful Tool I Have Used!”
“By
far, The Confident Athlete Series is the most
powerful tool I've used to perform my best. The
simple and easy to use program has helped me
take my game to the next level.” ~Shaun Burrell, professional surfer
These are actual success stories from
athletes and coaches who have used my Confident
Athlete Series Programs. A winning mindset
is possible when you accept that changes must be made
and then take positive action!
If you can overcome
pregame anxiety and develop a focused warm up routine,
would you be able to…
Feel poised
and relaxed about
an upcoming competition?
Have more fun with your sport by being
more relaxed?
Break through your fears and
perform up to your potential more often?
Or enjoy competing because you
are not a bundle of nerves or afraid
to make mistakes?
Know you can perform well
even when you feel pregame jitters?
