perform Without fear in Competitions
How can you perform fearlessly in competition? Do you need a boatload of confidence? Do you need high trust in your skills? Do you need to stop worrying about making mistakes? Or maybe you need to not obsess about outcomes?
Okay, here’s my take…. all of these mental skills lead to success in sports. The one athlete that struggles the most with these skills is the perfectionist.
Why would perfectionists have trouble performing fearlessly? We know it’s not because of a lack of preparation, dedication or effort.
The truth is: perfectionists obsess about the outcome or what I call the aftermath of the competition, such as:
*If I don’t succeed, will my parents be upset about my game?
*If we don’t win the game, will my teammates still think I’m good?
*If I don’t perform great, will I feel disappointed with my performance?
Yes, all common questions that a perfectionist mulls over. We put these under the umbrella of fear of failure.
See, perfectionists can’t let go and play freely because they are protecting themselves against failure by focusing too much on the outcome and aftermath of competition.
They typically worry, needlessly, about what others will think of their performance.
What are the top keys to performing with trust in competition? I’ll give you’re the simple version:
1. let go of what others think and focus on execution
2. perform for yourself, not to impress (or not disappoint) others
3. stop trying to be perfect and think about winning ugly.
Based on these principles, in the Fearless athlete CD program, I teach you how to overcome the pitfalls of perfectionism and how to perform freely in competition.
Here’s what one parent/coach recently said about The Fearless athlete CD:
“I purchased The Fearless athlete program for my daughter, who plays softball. I coach and train her as well…
While reading the program descriptions, she fit the description of a perfectionist to a “T”. I do, too, but have never realized it. Now, Camiseta Real Betis Balompie I can help her avoid all of the pitfalls I have lived with my entire life.
We are on Day 4 of 15 of the daily lessons, and the improvement has been extremely noticeable. Her game performance has gone through the roof. I can see she’s happier. and it’s brought us closer together.
The training facility she goes to recommended we look into your work. I can now say that I’ll be recommending your program to other coaches and parents as well.”
