during competition?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most likely, you are experiencing fear of failure. <strong>Fear of failure<\/strong> is the number one&nbsp; mental game issue we see today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3

to experience <strong>anxiety<\/strong>, tension and worry about achieving results in competitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ultimately, fear of failure will destroy your confidence as an athlete and dramatically hinder your performance in competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>J.M. Wikman et al. (2014) investigated how fear of failure affects athletes and possible solutions to the problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In their research, &#8220;Effects of goal setting on fear of failure in young athletes&#8221; (International Journal of Sport and Exercise Psychology), Wikman et al. made two important conclusions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Effective goal-setting strategies can significantly decrease fear of failure.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For long-term change to occur, athletes must consistently apply goal-setting strategies over a period of time.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>The effective strategy that the researchers utilized to decrease fear of failure was to have the athletes focus on process goals instead of outcome goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Process goals focus on mastery of skills, your <strong>mental game<\/strong>, and tactical competition strategies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Outcome goals focus on winning, statistics, or performing better than another athlete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The researchers laid out seven goal-setting steps for the athletes: set goals, identify potential obstacles, commit to the process, develop an action plan, obtain feedback from coaches, daily self-evaluation of their progress, and consistently review their goal plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember, you don&#8217;t need to be perfect to perform well or help your team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you make a mistake, no big deal, mistakes are a natural part of sports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to perform better with less anxiety, you need to focus on developing sound technique and mental skills, and then trust in those skills during competitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Try_these_tips_to_overcome_fear_of_failure_through_effective_goal-setting\"><\/span>Try these tips to overcome fear of failure through effective goal-setting:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Start setting goals by identifying athletic skills (mental and physical) that will help you achieve higher levels or performance. Develop an action plan, evaluate your progress and commit to staying focused on the process.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You must realize that goal-setting, like all other mental skills, requires consistent daily attention and refinement. You wouldn&#8217;t stop training several months prior to a big competition. If you commit to physical and mental training, you will see positive results.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Successful_athletes_have_learned_how_to_overcome_fear_perfectionism_and_perform_with_trust_in_competition\"><\/span>Successful athletes have learned how to overcome fear, perfectionism, and perform with trust in competition!<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;ve created <a href=\"https:\/\/www.peaksports.com\/the-fearless-athlete-cd-program\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" title=\"The Fearless Athlete\"><strong>The Fearless Athlete Workbook Program<\/strong><\/a> to help you do this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><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 class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.peaksports.com\/sports-psychology-blog\/fear-of-failure-in-perfectionist-athletes\/\"><strong>Fear of Failure in Perfectionist Athletes<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.peaksports.com\/sports-psychology-blog\/turning-athletic-failure-into-growth-and-learning\/\"><strong>Turning Athletic Failure Into Growth and Learning<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.peaksports.com\/sports-psychology-blog\/how-to-help-young-athletes-with-fear-of-failure\/\"><strong>How To Help Young Athletes With Fear of Failure<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-dca36a64-5c8f-4fcf-8dfb-da8bd663e456\">*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 id=\"block-370496de-1ed7-41e2-a009-254e9ec866b2\"><strong>Download a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.peaksports.com\/mental-toughness-report-athletes\/\">free sports psychology report<\/a>&nbsp;to improve your mental game!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-af5321a1-562b-4266-b2e9-068b5b1e1556\"><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_Fearless_Athlete\"><\/span>The Fearless 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=\"540\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.peaksports.com\/sports-psychology-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/fearless-athlete-large.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4435\" style=\"width:213px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.peaksports.com\/sports-psychology-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/fearless-athlete-large.jpg 540w, https:\/\/www.peaksports.com\/sports-psychology-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/fearless-athlete-large-270x300.jpg 270w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>For the last two decades, I\u2019ve been working with athletes and helping them optimize their physical ability by teaching them the secrets of top performing athletes.
