In this week’s sports psychology podcast, Dr. Cohn helps a basketball player relax in crunch time. Sports psychology expert, Dr. Patrick Cohn helps athletes tust their abilities and play relaxed in competition. Dr. Cohn answers the following mental game question:
“My daughter has excellent basketball skills, but her coach thinks she hasn’t learned how to relax in crunch-time. If she drives to the basket, she’s too tense. Consequently, she’s frequently unable to finish the play. Is she too anxious or doesn’t trust herself in those few seconds before shooting?”
In this Podcast, Dr. Cohn gives the top mental game strategies to help athletes improve trust in themselves. Many athletes over control, tighten up and underperform. Listen to this month’s sports psychology podcast to learn how to trust your skills.
