Sports: Not Performing In Competition Like You Do In Practice?

Is nervousness, tightness, tension or negative thinking affecting your ability to perform at your best? Is it the butterflies in your stomach or the self critical chatter that’s going on in your head that’s causing the most damage? Just when the stakes are their highest you just come up short delivering your best effort. The #1 mistake most athletes make in attempting to solve this problem is to increase duration and degree of difficulty of your practice regimen in order to improve your skills.

Perhaps you decided to change your diet or worked out even more in order to increase your strength and level of fitness. Or maybe you thought if you ran faster or longer distances it might help to increase your stamina and that would enhance your overall performance. You have already done and are probably continuing to do these type of things and are still not yet at the level of performance that you had hoped for. Maybe you have listened to a well meaning coach who said something like “When you get nervous just put it out of your mind” or “Just believe in yourself”, all nice sounding ideas  “but just how exactly am I supposed to do that” you might be asking  yourself. Of course working hard to improve your strength and sharpen your skills is important but it is simply not enough. If that was working for you then you would not continue to have this problem of performing in the game or during the competition when it’s clutch time and you seem just not able to consistently get the job done and come through when it counts.                                                   Professional athletes understand the importance of working on the mental side of their game. At the youth league level this critical component is all but completely ignored. More reps, more practice and working harder simply will not solve the problems that stem from worries over being good enough or the pressure to perform during competition. These issues come from beliefs or self doubt and will never just fix themselves and work out all on their own. That just does not ever happen. The only way to change is to address and then remove these limiting self defeating patterns right at their core.                                                                                                                                          What it really comes down to is your ability to control your emotions and sustain a mindset that allows you to achieve your goals and ambitions. The good news is that the mental skills you need to succeed can be learned and once you begin to implement the techniques and exercises you can take your game to the next level of excellence. It takes more than having a strong desire to win, and a good attitude to overcome the underlying reasons behind what is holding you back from being able to perform at your best when it’s make it or break it time and the score is close and the game is on the line and it’s up to you to come through when you absolutely have to. Let’s face it something is still missing. It may seem like everything you have done thus far to correct this handicap have been merely band aid solutions in an attempt to cover up what is really going on beneath the surface. Because what is really stopping you is going on deep inside your mind where those sub optimum programs and limiting beliefs are living and interfering with your performance.            The R.A.C.E. formula which has been a successful system thoroughly tested by athletes  world wide, a proven method that has already worked for thousands of players just like you.
