Or possibly, one mistake turns into another and your performance spirals downward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The thought of that mistake or the consequences of that mistake take the focus away from performing in the moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, making a mistake early in a competition can create doubts for how you will perform in the rest of the competition, &#8220;I just don&#8217;t have it today. It&#8217;s one of those days. I will continue making the same mistakes as usual.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"If_you_are_unable_to_refocus_on_the_next_play_next_routine_or_next_race_you_are_bound_to_make_more_mistakes\"><\/span>If you are unable to refocus on the next play, next routine or next race, you are bound to make more mistakes. <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The bigger or more important the competition, the more likely you will follow up a mistake with an even more costly mistake. During playoff games, championships, rival games, top-level competitions or important matches, mistakes can take on additional significance for some athletes and challenge their composure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since every athlete will make many mistakes throughout a career, learning to re-focus your attention in the present is a critical mental skill to develop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the 2021 NBA season was winding down, the Denver Nuggets were contending for a playoff spot. In an interview Denver forward Aaron Gordon commented on how mistakes can affect a player&#8217;s performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>GORDON<\/strong>: <em>&#8220;On the court, you want to be icy. You want to be really cool. You want to be composed. And when your mental [state] is not right on the court, you do stupid things, like get technical fouls or compound mistakes. Like, say you miss a shot, you&#8217;re mad that you missed a shot, so you turn around and foul somebody 80 feet away from the basket.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you can see, athletes at every level need to learn how to maintain their composure and refocus to bounce back from mistakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Rebounding_from_mistakes_and_refocusing_is_a_mental_skill_that_requires_mental_training_to_learn_and_develop\"><\/span>Rebounding from mistakes and refocusing is a mental skill that requires mental training to learn and develop.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Rebounding from mistakes is comprised of three components:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1. <strong>The ability to quickly calm yourself:<\/strong> A quick calming strategy helps you keep your emotions in check. A deep breath is one method to calm an athlete&#8217;s mind and body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2. <strong>The use of a phrase to move on:<\/strong> A cue can be a word or action that signals for you to let go of the last moment. An effective cue can be as simple as telling yourself, &#8220;Move on&#8221; or &#8220;That&#8217;s in the past.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3. <strong>The ability to refocus:<\/strong> Refocusing is a matter of changing your focus from the past to the present moment. Refocusing is the hallmark of successful athletes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Learn to develop these three components so you can respond better to mistakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Try relaxation techniques, cues and refocusing strategies in practice. Determine what strategies feel comfortable and effective and practice those skills in your training sessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you can learn to manage mistakes in practice, you are closer to coping with mistakes in competition.<\/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=\"Related_Articles_on_Mental_Game\"><\/span>Related Articles on Mental Game:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.peaksports.com\/sports-psychology-blog\/embrace-healthy-competition-within-your-team\/\">Embrace Healthy Competition within Your Team<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.peaksports.com\/sports-psychology-blog\/what-separates-elite-athletes-from-the-rest\/\">What Separates Elite Athletes from the Rest?<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.peaksports.com\/sports-psychology-blog\/focus-on-what-you-can-control-in-sports-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Focus on What You Can Control in Sports<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>*Subscribe to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/podcasts.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/sports-psychology-podcast-by-peaksports-com\/id152566009\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Sports Psychology Podcast<\/a>&nbsp;on iTunes<br>*Subscribe to <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/show\/0ynyaalKxbnNmsoeL8gF5X?si=8224669de9b3435b\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Sports Psychology Podcast<\/a> on Spotify <\/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\/2023\/10\/confident-athlete-audio250.jpg\" alt=\"Sport Psychology Cds\" class=\"wp-image-15979\" style=\"width:200px\"\/><\/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>.
