Do you look like a star in practice, but choke up in competition? Does your performance feel tight, controlled, or lack of freedom when you compete? Many hard-working athletes who get lots of confidence from practice get in their own way (mentally) when they compete…
Why do athletes tense up and lose trust in their skills when they compete? Many athletes I work with worry about failing or letting down others. They perform in an avoidance mindset: “Don’t make a turnover and mess up.”
They worry about what others think think as well if they do mess up. If you or your athletes do this, you or your athletes must learn to trust in your skills when you go from practice to competition.
