You might be thinking: &#8220;What does it mean to get out of your own way?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Allow me to answer this question in one moment&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What prompted me to write&nbsp;this post&nbsp;was an interview I saw after the 2008 Cox Classic, a Nationwide Tour event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ryan Hietala earned the title in a playoff. In an interview, he said he did not know how to define &#8220;Get out of your own way,&#8221; but his goal was to <strong>stay in the present<\/strong> and <strong>not put pressure<\/strong> on himself:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>&#8220;I was just trying to stay in the present and not get ahead of myself. I&#8217;ve never been able to define &#8216;Get out of your own way.&#8217; I don&#8217;t know what that means. I don&#8217;t understand that. I guess it means not to put pressure on yourself.&#8221; ~Ryan Hietala<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"In_one_sense_Ryan_is_correct_about_the_pressure_athletes_place_on_themselves_to_win\"><\/span>In one sense, Ryan is correct about the pressure athletes place on themselves to win.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>I have another definition of &#8220;get out of your own way.&#8221; When an athlete is unable to get out of his own way, the <strong>mind interferes<\/strong> with his physical talent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a general sense, your <strong>mind sabotages your well-learned physical skills<\/strong>. The mental game misfires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But another specific definition is also appropriate when discussing getting out of your own way&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most of the time, athletes who can&#8217;t &#8220;get out of your own way&#8221; <strong>try way too hard<\/strong>, <strong>force their game<\/strong>, <strong>think too much<\/strong>, or <strong>over analyze<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve conducted a massive amount of research with athletes on performing in the zone. These athletes talk about how they were able to perform without the mental handcuffs of over analysis&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many athletes described an experience in which they felt like observers (of their own performance) allowing their performance to just happen. As if they were performing on <strong>autopilot<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus if you over think or over analyze your game, try to force it on every play or shot, and don&#8217;t trust your performance, you are guilty of getting in your own way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you get out of your own way, you allow yourself to play <strong>freely<\/strong> without added pressure. You allow yourself to just do it and <strong>trust <\/strong>in your skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To help my students get out of their own way, I created &#8220;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.peaksports.com\/the-fearless-athlete-cd-program\/\">The Fearless Athlete<\/a><\/strong>&#8221; Program, which is the fourth addition to my popular Confident Athlete series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Fearless Athlete<\/strong> program is ideal <strong>mental preparation<\/strong> especially for <strong>perfectionist <\/strong>athletes who want to over-control and over think their performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can read more about <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.peaksports.com\/the-fearless-athlete-cd-program\/\">The Fearless Athlete<\/a><\/strong> and my students&#8217; reaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your Mental Game Coach,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Patrick J.
