Intimidation In Sports
In “Sessions with Doc,” Dr. Patrick Cohn answers your sports psychology and mental training questions about coping in sports when intimidated by the competition.
Here’s the question Dr. Cohn answers this week about Intimidation In Sports.
ARMAN ASKS: “I’m a race car driver from Turkey. I’m new in racing and all of my competitors are currently ex go-cart pilots, rally drivers, or formula 3 pilots. Others say I have great talent for racing, but my lack of experience is affecting my performance really badly. How can I be more confident with this limited experience in being new to the driving scene?”
Watch the video below to hear what Dr. Cohn has to say to Arman about how self-intimidation can destroy confidence.
