Manage episode 421257239 series 2939456
Why do athletes work with a Sports Psychologist? One of the biggest reasons is that they struggle to transfer their skills from training to competitive situations. Which provides the topic for today’s episode of the Demystifying Mental Toughness podcast.
Former professional basketball player and author Dre Baldwin goes on to tell me his thoughts on why athletes can struggle to compete as well as they practice. We also share some useful ideas and strategies to help you.
Enjoy tuning in!
Key Takeaways include:
- Getting used to trusting your skills in live uncontrolled situations is crucial for success.
- Understanding that you must respond instinctively to the randomness that sport throws at you is important too.
- You will get beaten and fail often, this is ok, you’ll survive and will learn as a result.
- Any amount of thinking is overthinking when you are performing.
- Fear of trying to be perfect breeds tension and causes your rhythm and timing to go out of sync.
- Consider the key ingredients of a great performance, aspects that are within your control and strive to repeat them time and again.
