How much of your thoughts are about performing well versus doubting if you have what it takes for the game or performance?
Have yourself list your top pregame or pre-competition doubts. Like ‘’I am not sure I am well prepared and ready for the game’’
And now role-play. How would a positive coach reply to these doubts and look at them in a different way. For example: ‘’I am not sure if I feel ready?’’ could be challenged like this: ‘’I have been preparing for this competition for months and I know my craft. So I just need to trust my preparation and play freely.’’
