In the field of sports psychology, I see many talented athletes who do not know how to control their negative emotions and fail to reach their potential because they get hot-headed, angry, or just crawl into their negative mental shell and don't return. You know the type: The perfectionist athlete who is prone to emotional outbursts after errors or when not performing up to his or her expectations.
Emotional control is when you stay even-tempered, level-headed, or poised even when you are challenged by mishaps or adversity. Even the top athletes, such as Tiger Woods, get upset. But they are able to gain control quickly and get back to business. Recovering quickly from mistakes, separates champions from athletes who crack under adversity and are cooked mentally for the rest of the competition.
To Gain Control Of Your Sport Performance Do These Two Strategies:
- How to have a positive pregame mindset for competition.
- How to let go of errors before emotions snowball out of control.
Some expectations that can lead to feelings of frustration include: I must play perfectly to be successful today.
- I expect to perform perfectly today and if I don't, I am failing.
- I cannot make any mistakes if I want to win.
- To play my best, I must have an error-free performance.
- I can’t stand making stupid errors and should be upset with them.
