Many athletes feel peak performance means perfect performance. This mindset causes a lot of negative emotion, in particular frustration, when the inevitable mistake pops up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This leads to a split focus&#8211;a focus on the past mistakes and trying to perform in the moment! Not the best approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes, athletes feel sorry for themselves after a bad performance. It may be hard to admit, but it happens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_following_are_various_scenarios_in_several_sports\"><\/span>The following are various scenarios in several sports:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A gymnast who fell off the balance beam in a major competition and, immediately, had the feeling, \u201cI always mess up.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A baseball player who struck out with the bases loaded in the later innings of a game and said to themselves, \u201cI can\u2019t do anything right?\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A basketball player who missed several free throws in a game and told themselves, \u201cI am the reason our team lost the game?\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A soccer player who had a bad playoff game and thought, \u201cI always choke under pressure.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Maybe you can identify with these scenarios at some level. Rebounding from mistakes and mishaps is everything in sports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nothing is perfect nor will it ever be. So your response to <strong>mistakes<\/strong>, losses and mishaps shape your mindset and performance and can linger to the next several competitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s use a sport analogy to really drive home this point\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In basketball, it is unreasonable to expect to make EVERY shot. That is the reason REBOUNDING is so important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You hear coaches, all the time, tell players to follow their shots in order to rebound and put the ball in the hoop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If a player just hung his head after a missed shot (or felt sorry for himself), he would miss the opportunity to rebound and be successful. The only way to rebound is, first, stop feeling sorry for yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is true for all sports, even professional athletes\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, in the soccer world, Luton Town Football Club of the Championship League lost four consecutive soccer matches. After the last loss, 3-0, to Reading FC, Luton manager Graeme Jones talked about how the team gave up a bit and felt sorry for themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>JONES<\/strong>: \u201c<em>We started the game really well and then they scored. Then mentally, we felt sorry for ourselves, &#8216;what we\u2019re going to do?&#8217; and not enough attacking threat.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jones stated he would like to bring in a Mental Training professional to help his team overcome this obstacle his team currently faces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>JONES<\/strong>: &#8220;<em>We&#8217;re at a point now where maybe we might have to think about going down that [mental training] route, because even if you look at last weeks\u2019 goals, Nottingham Forest didn&#8217;t create their two goals, we gave them them. Today, we gave them three goals, so it&#8217;s an area that I\u2019ve looked at deeply, it&#8217;s an area that I understand, it&#8217;s a reality for the mental step in the Championship [League].<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Rebounding from mistakes<\/strong> is a learned mental skill&#8211;you are not helpless. So with the help of a Mental Game Coach, you can develop mental skills to overcome mistakes and keep your head in the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Rebound_from_Mistakes\"><\/span>How to Rebound from Mistakes:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Rebounding is a matter of responding to mistakes in a new way. Start by asking yourself a different question: &#8220;Can I really be perfect?&#8221; &#8220;Do others expect me to be perfect?&#8221; The answer is NO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, challenge yourself about what&#8217;s so awful about the mistake?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, remind yourself that you can&#8217;t change the past. The only thing you can do is more forward and focus on the next play, skill, pitch, or shot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-979ef383-5bc7-43ee-b8f9-249663ca1a6c\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Related_Sports_Psychology_Articles\"><\/span>Related Sports Psychology Articles<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul id=\"block-05642731-8752-4dbf-9c18-5cc4d276e821\" class=\"wp-block-list has-normal-font-size\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.peaksports.com\/sports-psychology-blog\/do-you-or-your-team-have-the-comeback-mindset\/\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.peaksports.com\/sports-psychology-blog\/how-to-benefit-from-mistakes-in-competition\/\"><strong>How to Benefit From Mistakes in Competition\u00a0<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.peaksports.com\/sports-psychology-blog\/how-to-grow-competition-confidence\/\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.peaksports.com\/sports-psychology-blog\/how-to-refocus-after-making-mistakes\/\"><strong>How to Refocus After Making Mistakes<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.peaksports.com\/sports-psychology-blog\/how-preparation-boosts-confidence\/\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.peaksports.com\/sports-psychology-blog\/how-to-use-mistakes-to-improve-performance\/\"><strong>How to Use Mistakes to Improve Performance<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\" id=\"block-5726d13f-f715-4ca4-8813-2f8a9ebd8bc3\">*Subscribe to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/podcasts.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/sports-psychology-podcast-by-peaksports-com\/id152566009\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>The Sports Psychology Podcast<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0on iTunes<br>*Subscribe to<strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/show\/0ynyaalKxbnNmsoeL8gF5X?si=8224669de9b3435b\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Sports Psychology Podcast<\/a><\/strong> on Spotify<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\" id=\"block-281f5afb-980b-4c71-9aa0-11d606b5f7c9\"><strong>Download a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.peaksports.com\/mental-toughness-report-athletes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">free sports psychology report<\/a>&nbsp;to improve your mental game!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\" id=\"block-94138e75-d591-4645-bb1d-212cf57a8841\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.peaksports.com\/sport-psychology-training-athletes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Learn more about our one-on-one mental game coaching.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Confident_Athlete\"><\/span>The Confident Athlete <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"225\" height=\"250\" src=\"https:\/\/www.peaksports.com\/sports-psychology-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/confident-athlete-audio250.jpg\" alt=\"The Confident Athlete Audio\" class=\"wp-image-16347\" style=\"width:198px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe Confident Athlete\u201d consists of 2 audio programs that include 14 days of confidence fueling exercises and a simple to follow workbook that guides you through the 14 days, helps you apply the strategies, and customizes the exercises to your personal needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let me help you put a <strong>stop to the confidence leak<\/strong>.
