Midway through last season she developed &#8220;odd&#8221; mechanics and the ball goes all over the place. It&#8217;s now become a vicious cycle &#8211; the more she tries, the worse she does, the more upset she gets.&nbsp; The more coaching she gets, the more upset she gets and she just shuts down. What can we do to help her get her serve back?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this Podcast, Dr. Cohn gives the top <strong>mental game strategies<\/strong> to&nbsp;help athletes trust in their abilities in competition.&nbsp;Athletes&nbsp;tighten up, try too hard and lose composure&nbsp;when they aren&#8217;t performing their best in competition.&nbsp;Listen to this month&#8217;s sports psychology

The confident athletes was <strong>developed for any athlete \u2013 junior to professional \u2013<\/strong>that wants to gain confidence.
