Episode Description
In this episode, you will learn a 3 part strategy to manage distractions during games.
When you perform your best, one of the defining characteristics is likely that you’re focused. This is true no matter what sport you play or what position you play. When you perform at your highest level, you are locked in.
There hasn’t been an athlete I’ve worked with who’s said otherwise. When we are trying to define their peak performance mindset, pretty much every one of them includes focus. That’s because, for you to play your best, you need to be focused.
Knowing that, why is it so hard to stay focused during games? Because there are a ton of things that pull at your attention and cause you to become distracted while you play.
While we can’t do much about the distractions, what we can do is improve your ability to manage your attention in the face of such distractions. And that is done by training your focus as an athlete.
🧠 Mental Performance Coaching for Athletes: If you’re an athlete who struggles with fear, anxiety, overthinking, or confidence in games—or a parent of an athlete going through that—I work 1-on-1 with athletes to help them perform freely and confidently.
