Aguayo never missed a PAT attempt during his collegiate career at Florida State.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Tampa Bay Buccaneers traded up to the second round to draft Aguayo in 2016, making him just the fourth kicker in the past 25 years to be drafted in the second round or higher. All these circumstances may have added a bit more pressure on Aguayo to prove his value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That pressure, or what Aguayo perceived as pressure, may have contributed to Aguayo <strong>yipping<\/strong> some field goal attempts well within his range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aguayo not only missed his first attempt as a pro but, during his first two preseason games, Aguayo was 3-for-5 and 3-for-4 on PAT attempts. Then, during a joint practice with the Cleveland Browns, Aguayo went 3-for-6 which brought with it unmerciful heckling from the fans in attendance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aguayo was incredulous after his second straight game of yipping and has consulted with a <strong>mental<\/strong> <strong>coach<\/strong> as well as former NFL kicker Ryan Longwell who is considered one of the league\u2019s top kickers for the last two decades<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>AGUAYO<\/strong>: <em>&#8220;It shouldn&#8217;t happen with me. You just have to fix it and keep moving on. I feel like that&#8217;s what preseason games are for, to get the young guys rolling in, to keep working, keep getting better.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The frustrating part of the <strong>yips<\/strong> is that you know what to do, you have done it before but that mental noise inside your head interrupts your ability to perform at the most critical time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And most athletes search for a physical fix to the <strong>yips<\/strong> when the cause is that it starts in the <strong>mind<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Teammate and former first round draft pick, Gerald McCoy (who struggled in his early years with injuries and not living up to expectations), provided Aguayo with some sound advice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>McCOY<\/strong>: <em>&#8220;One thing I&#8217;ve done with him is go to him and encourage him. He&#8217;s a rookie. He was drafted high as a kicker, so a lot of expectations come with that with being that guy&#8230; I just go encourage him and say, &#8216;Hey, listen, stay the course. It&#8217;ll come along.&#8217; &#8220;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Great insight&#8230; If you have done it before, stay the course and it will come along.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tips_for_overcoming_the_yips\"><\/span>Tips for overcoming the yips:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Give yourself a reality check \u2013 Reality checking is a method to determine the validity about a belief or assumption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211;Do you know how to perform the skill?<br>&#8211;Have you performed the skill successfully in the past?<br>&#8211;Can you perform the skill with regularity during practice?<br>&#8211;Is there any physical limitation preventing you from performing the skill?<br>&#8211;Is the belief that &#8216;I can no longer perform the skill&#8217; an accurate one?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Recognize that the yips may feel like a physical issue, but it&#8217;s often due to fear of failure, performance anxiety, and high expectations you feel to perform well.<\/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\/should-you-tell-other-players-they-have-the-yips\/\"><strong>Should You Tell Other Players They Have the Yips?<\/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\/the-yips-can-afflict-athletes-in-any-sport\/\"><strong>The Yips Can Afflict Athletes in Any Sport<\/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\/how-do-you-know-if-you-have-the-yips\/\"><strong>How Do You Know if You Have the Yips?<\/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 Podcas<\/strong>t<\/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>.
