Strong focus is a key characteristic of all high level athletes. To play your best, you need to be able to control your attention.

But this is not at all an easy thing to do. Which is one of the reasons it's so difficult for athletes to consistently compete at an elite level.

There are many distractions you face as an athlete, both internally and externally, that will work to destroy your focus. And more often than not, they'll succeed.

It can often feel like this happens at the worst possible moments, too. Like that crunch time play in a big game...the situation where you need the most focus is typically the situation where you lose your focus the easiest.

With focus being so critical to you as a player, what I'm going to do in this episode is break down the main distractions athletes face, along with some tips you can use if you struggle with staying focused during competition.
