In this week’s sports psychology podcast, Dr. Cohn helps a volleyball player who has lost her serve. Sports psychology expert, Dr. Patrick Cohn helps athletes perform their best in competition. Dr. Cohn answers the following mental game question:
“My 10 yr old daughter is a great volleyball player but has somehow “lost” her serve. Midway through last season she developed “odd” mechanics and the ball goes all over the place. It’s now become a vicious cycle – the more she tries, the worse she does, the more upset she gets. The more coaching she gets, the more upset she gets and she just shuts down. What can we do to help her get her serve back?”
In this Podcast, Dr. Cohn gives the top mental game strategies to help athletes trust in their abilities in competition. Athletes tighten up, try too hard and lose composure when they aren’t performing their best in competition. Listen to this month’s sports psychology podcast to learn how to trust in yourself.
