Be Mentally Tough Prior To Game Time
In “Sessions with Doc,” Dr. Patrick Cohn answers your sports psychology and mental training questions about Building Mental Strength in Hockey.
Do you focus on everything that could go wrong in a competition and then stress out and lose your confidence?
Here’s the question Dr. Patrick Cohn answers this week:
CHRIS ASKS:”I’m a ice hockey goalie and I keep recalling the times when I did not prepare well and I got benched. I think the competition is too good, I can’t beat them. When I go on the ice I can’t play my best. I lose the game before it starts. How can I have more mental strength before games?”
Watch the video below to hear what Dr. Cohn has to say about Building Mental Strength in Hockey.
