In this week’s sports psychology podcast, Dr. Cohn helps a basketball player relax during games. Sports psychology expert, Dr. Patrick Cohn helps athletes improve trust in competition. Dr. Cohn answers the following mental game question:
I am a competitive basketball player that needs help relaxing in game situations. For instance in practice, I can knock down shots from anywhere, but in games, I feel bad if I shoot the ball, feeling like I am not doing what I am supposed to do. This is true even though all of my coaches give me the green light to shoot the ball whenever and wherever I want. My question to you is: How can I increase my performance on the court?
In this Podcast, Dr. Cohn gives the top mental game strategies to take your practice game to competition. Many players lose trust and tighten up in competition. Learn how to trust in your practice to improve game-time performance.
