In this week’s sports psychology podcast, Dr. Cohn helps a basketball player who is afraid of failing. Sports psychology expert, Dr. Patrick Cohn helps athletes strive for success and boost their confidence in competition. Dr. Cohn answers the following mental game question:
“I play basketball. I get very little playing time because of past timid play and ”afraid of failing” attitude. I want to prove everyone that I am not a bench warmer. I used to think about how much people doubt me and not think I can play up to par with the other athletes. How do I let go of the past and play with confidence today?”
In this Podcast, Dr. Cohn gives the top mental game strategies to be proactive with your confidence. Some athletes wait for that first good shot to make them feel confident. Listen to this month’s sports psychology podcast to learn how to be proactive with your confidence.

The confident athletes was developed for any athlete – junior to professional –that wants to gain confidence.
