Sports Psychology Coaching
Develop a Good Competition Mindset
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What is your mindset like on game day? We need to be careful not to take a practice mindset into games, where we overthink and try to fix everything. We need to just focus on letting ourselves play freely, be present, and trust the skills that we've built through training.
