Are you holding back or playing tentatively due to your performance slump?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Slumps<\/strong> are aggravating, frustrating and unnerving. Sometimes, a slump in one area of your game affects your entire game, further compounding the issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, you are in the middle of a long slump and each mistake in competition causes you to call into question your abilities as an athlete. You fear continued misses, losses and mistakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You don&#8217;t want to embarrass yourself or be the reason your team loses. So, you shy away from opportunities&#8230;&nbsp;You stop taking shots&#8230;&nbsp;You don&#8217;t want to take center stage&#8230;&nbsp;You perform tentatively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You overthink everything before, during and after a competition or game.&nbsp;You break down every aspect of your performance and criticize yourself harshly. You lose <strong>confidence<\/strong>, sell yourself short and think, &#8220;I am not a good athlete.&#8221;&nbsp; You make a case against yourself by highlighting every mistake you ever made which keeps you stuck in a rut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How can you break out of a slump?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can shorten the time you are stuck in a performance slump by changing your focus&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Change_Your_Focus\"><\/span>Change Your Focus<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>First, <strong>focus<\/strong> on the process, not the outcome. A basketball player should still shoot without thinking about the results of the shot&#8230;&nbsp;A hockey player in a slump should continue to look for opportunities to score instead of fearing missing a shot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Second, <strong>focus<\/strong> on other ways you can affect the game or contribute to your team. A basketball player in a shooting slump can look for ways to contribute to his team defensively. A hockey player in a performance slump can help raise the energy of his team by being aggressive on the boards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finding ways to contribute to your team will improve your <strong>confidence<\/strong> and relieve some of the anxiety that contributes to your performance slump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Golden State Warriors forward Kelly Oubre started out the 2020-21 season in a slump: 0-for-17 from 3-point range and 0-for-31 on non-dunk attempts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Teammate Steph Curry, one of the best 3-point shooters in NBA history, has been in slumps himself and had a bit of advice for Oubre and other players in slumps.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>CURRY<\/strong>: &#8220;<em>No matter how [Oubre] shoots the ball, he can always find another way to impact the game and eventually, he&#8217;s going to figure it out&#8230;&nbsp;He can&#8217;t lose confidence. He has to take those shots. But he also has to impact the game in other areas that athletically he can do&#8230;&nbsp;that&#8217;s all you ask for from a guy going through a shooting situation like this until he turns it around.<\/em>&#8220;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, Curry talked about the need to continue to look for open shots and take your shots without overthinking.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>CURRY<\/strong>: &#8220;<em>The last thing you can do is just stop shooting no matter how frustrated you get.<\/em>&#8220;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Breaking out of a <strong>slump<\/strong> requires commitment to a <strong>growth mindset<\/strong>. A competitive mindset encompasses looking for ways to contribute, making the most of your opportunities and continuing to push forward no matter the circumstances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A <strong>growth mindset<\/strong> helps you maintain stable <strong>confidence<\/strong> along with the knowledge that you will get back on track soon enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Break_Out_of_a_Slump\"><\/span>How to Break Out of a Slump:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>First, don&#8217;t start each game by defining yourself as being in a <strong>slump<\/strong>, as this will become a self-fulfilling prophecy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead of worrying about parts of your game that are not working, identify 1-2 ways that you can contribute to your team. For example, you might <strong>focus<\/strong> on helping your team create scoring opportunities, setting the tone by hustling, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Look at every game as a new opportunity for success and growth, rather than a continuation of your slump.<\/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\/break-slumps-how-to-get-past-a-performance-slump\/\"><strong>Break Slumps: How to Get Past a Performance Slump<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.peaksports.com\/sports-psychology-blog\/mental-game-tips-to-get-past-performance-slumps\/\"><strong>Mental Game Tips To Get Past Performance Slumps<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.peaksports.com\/sports-psychology-blog\/breaking-performance-slumps\/\"><strong>Breaking Through Performance Slumps<\/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 <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/show\/0ynyaalKxbnNmsoeL8gF5X?si=8224669de9b3435b\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>The Sports Psychology Podcast<\/strong><\/a> 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>.
