You must <strong>manage the fear<\/strong> in order to maintain your confidence after an injury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dallas Maverick small forward Chandler Parsons is facing the same injury issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Parsons is heading into his fifth year and averaged 14.5 points per game over the course of his career. Parsons has been rehabbing a knee injury from last April and is closing in on a return to the basketball court this preseason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To maintain confidence, Parsons practiced the <strong>skills<\/strong> he could perform safely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>PARSONS<\/strong>: <em>&#8220;I was in the chair for the first month doing different things working on my handles, so when I could move and start using the pick and roll and have the ball in my hands more.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Parsons has a positive outlook regarding his return to the court. Though Parsons is confident and well-prepared for his return, he has tempered his expectations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>PARSONS<\/strong>: <em>&#8220;That&#8217;s the trickiest part for me. I don&#8217;t really know what to expect, because it feels fine. There&#8217;s been no pain, no swelling and no setbacks. There&#8217;s no reason for me not to be confident when I play. I&#8217;m not babying it at all. I&#8217;m doing different drills, and I&#8217;m in the weight room every day. I think a lot of it is going to be mental, just believing that it&#8217;s OK and I&#8217;ll be ready to go.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Parsons has the right mentality in dealing with his return to competition which has aided his confidence and will help his transition back into competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Parsons has adopted a patient let\u2019s-see-what-happens attitude which lessens anxiety and does set him up for failure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Optimal_Mindset_for_Return_to_Competition\"><\/span><strong>The Optimal Mindset for Return to Competition<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Fear of re-injury is <strong>normal.<\/strong> Many basketball players, in the back of their mind, have thoughts about the injury and return to the court. But that is where those thoughts need to be contained&#8230; in the back of your mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You want to<strong> focus on<\/strong> &#8220;what you want to happen&#8221; instead of &#8220;what you are afraid might happen.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Focusing<\/strong> on what you can do and what you want to do will help you maintain your confidence throughout the injury process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Try_these_tips_to_maintain_confidence_after_an_injury\"><\/span><strong>Try these tips to maintain confidence after an injury:<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Set manageable goals for your return to competition &#8211; Once you are fully recovered, you can adjust your goals upward. By not setting your goals too high, you will keep anxiety at bay and steadily increase your confidence with each step forward.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Maintain a positive outlook \u2013 If you can focus on what you can do, you can prevent negativity from corroding your mindset. Your attitude toward returning to competition is everything. Fear only serves to hold you back from your potential.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Check Out Our Video of The Week, <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/jJnZlo3P01s\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">How Athletes Can Be Mentally Tough!<\/a><\/strong><\/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\" 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\/mindset-to-maintain-confidence-after-a-mistake\/\"><strong>Mindset to Maintain Confidence After a Mistake<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.peaksports.com\/sports-psychology-blog\/maintain-confidence-during-performance-dip\/\"><strong>How to Maintain Confidence During a Performance Dip<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.peaksports.com\/sports-psychology-blog\/evaluating-performance-and-maintaining-confidence\/\"><strong>Evaluating Performance and Maintaining Confidence<\/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>.
