Pressure is somewhat subjective. What may seem like a high pressure situation to one person may feel like a piece of cake to another person. Your attitude and self-talk can adjust the level of pressure that you feel in games.
You don’t have to train today. You get to train today. Be eager and excited to train. Be grateful for the opportunity to play the sport you love.
It’s better to embarrass yourself now by taking risks, failing, and asking questions than to embarrass yourself later, when you haven’t improved and failed to reach your goals.
Players often look to their coach to see how to act during adversity. If the coach is composed, players tend to stay composed. But if the coach is too emotional, players tend to also get emotional.
Being clutch isn't about making every game winning shot. Being clutch is about not letting the pressure negatively affect you, and maintaining you normal shooting percentage in pressure situations.
Enjoy the process and trust the process!
There are many competitions within a competition. Who is going to out-rebound who? Who is going to make less mistakes? Who is going to play smarter, looser, harder? If you want to win the game, focus on these mini competitions. #TheProcess
As an athlete, your body is your main tool. Your mind controls the body. Take care of them both.
Actions speak louder than words. You may say you're a dedicated athlete, but your partying, diet, and bad habits say otherwise.
We're taking a stand against racism. We need your support. Learn, share and start a conversation. More: bit.ly/whenwillitendE #whenwillitend
Most athletes can get highly motivated before games. Not all athletes know how to relax and deal with nerves. For most athletes, motivation comes much more naturally than relaxation, therefore athletes need to take the time to deliberately learn and practice relaxation skills.
To improve as an athlete, you must improve as a person. It takes strong character to become successful. This is why I often emphasize the importance of worldviews, maturity, a balanced life, and mental health. These bigger issues greatly influence your development and performance
Finding out what it takes to succeed isn’t just about the behaviors, actions, and decisions. It is also about finding the attitudes and motivations that drive these behaviors, actions, and decisions.
“If you are not nervous, it's time to say goodbye." - Rafael Nadal. Nervousness is normal. It comes when motivation/goals meet uncertainty. No nerves = no motivation. Although nervousness is natural, it is still important for you to contain it by using self-talk, breathing, etc.
Having an internal locus of control means you believe that you (not external factors) are mainly responsible for your success. Mentally tough athletes don't make excuses and blame the refs, teammates, and other external things. They have an internal locus of control.
When you doubt and criticize yourself during a match, it's like you're competing against two opponents instead of just one. Don’t make it harder than it has to be. Support and believe in yourself to improve your performance.
Stay positive and keep working hard. Life’s too short to be negative. Life’s too long to be lazy.
Secondly, intrinsic motivation provides a steady and reliable source of motivation, unlike extrinsic motivation, which can be taken away or lose value easily. Having both intrinsic and extrinsic motivation helps keep you committed to the grind long term.
First of all, intrinsic motivation and positive emotions improve confidence, motivation, and relaxation, which all improve performance in games.
