time ticks down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Which athlete do you or your athletes fall into?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some athletes are overwhelmed by <strong>performance anxiety<\/strong> <strong>in sports<\/strong> and have great difficulty closing out games or taking the last shot&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Your_mind_becomes_cluttered_with_%E2%80%98what_ifs%E2%80%A6\"><\/span>Your mind becomes cluttered with \u2018what ifs\u2019&#8230;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;What if I miss? What if I lose the game for my team? What if the team becomes angry with me for missing the last shot?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You become so anxious and tight, which leads to poor decision making and a lack of freedom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead of trying to get open, you blend in the background. You basically opt out of the game hoping another player takes the last shot to decide the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may feel that there is nothing you can do about <strong>confidence<\/strong> to closing out games or how to approach game-ending pressure situations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That is where sport psychology comes into play&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can improve your mental game about closing out games by applying proven <strong>mental strategies<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You <strong>CAN<\/strong> definitely be the player to sink the game-ending winning shot or score the final goal with some practice just like Kris Jenkins of the Villanova Wildcats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jenkins hit a three-pointer buzzer-beater to give the Wildcats a 77-74 victory over North Carolina for the NCAA tournament championship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>JENKINS<\/strong>: <em>\u201cYou know, we put a lot of work in. This team, everybody has the confidence to catch and shoot. So when Arch (Villanova guard Ryan Arcidiacono) threw me the ball, one, two step, shoot &#8217;em up, sleep in the streets. I think every shot is going in, so that one was no different.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How do you get the <strong>confidence<\/strong> of Jenkins to perform well in the closing moments of a game?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Practice specificity<\/strong> is a concept I teach to my athletes that helps them rehearse specific game situations in practice!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, Villanova practices last-second shots every day&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you practice under game-like situations, you build confidence in those situation. So when you are in competition, you are doing what you have practiced often.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This type of practice doesn\u2019t eliminate anxiety, nor does it guarantee that you will make every game-ending play, goal or shot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Specificity practice<strong> increases confidence<\/strong> which helps you perform in anticipated situations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Villanova head basketball coach Jay Wright knows the value of being <strong>mentally prepared<\/strong> in critical situations. He credits mental preparedness for his team\u2019s ability to produce in the clutch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>COACH WRIGHT<\/strong>: <em>\u201cWe do practice that. We have certain plays with less than four seconds, from four to seven seconds. Every coach has this. Zero to four, four to seven, seven to 12. We have plays. So we know what it is. We practice it every day. I didn&#8217;t have to say anything in the huddle. We have a name for it, that&#8217;s what we&#8217;re going to do. Just put everybody in their spots.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you anticipate and prepare mentally for different game scenarios, you will have a feeling of &#8220;deja vu&#8221; instead of being overwhelmed by the unexpected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Good mental preparation is all about being prepared to cope with any situation you will face in sports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Top_strategy_for_developing_a_crunch-time_mentality\"><\/span>Top strategy for developing a crunch-time mentality:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Write out a script for how you like to close out a tight game including: having the confidence to want the ball and the excitement of taking the last shot. Rehearse how you want to perform as time runs out and the excitement and celebration on the floor afterwards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Take this script and act it out in practice. Make it a part of your everyday routine. You will soon see your confidence and focus improve, as well as your mental approach to taking the \u201cBIG\u201d shot.<\/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\/performance-anxiety-in-sports\/\"><strong>The Roots of Performance Anxiety in Sports<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.peaksports.com\/sports-psychology-blog\/how-to-grow-competition-confidence\/\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.peaksports.com\/sports-psychology-blog\/performance-anxiety-in-big-competitions\/\"><strong>Performance Anxiety in Big Competitions<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.peaksports.com\/sports-psychology-blog\/how-preparation-boosts-confidence\/\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.peaksports.com\/sports-psychology-blog\/does-anxiety-and-fear-of-failure-hurt-your-performance\/\"><strong>Does Anxiety and Fear of Failure Hurt Your Performance?<\/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>.
