Do mistakes compound because you\u2019re so <strong>frustrated <\/strong>you can\u2019t think clearly?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not letting go of mistakes quickly can spiral out of control and cause other &#8220;mental game&#8221; challenges in sports. When this spiral begins, you might become<strong> frustrated, get angry, lose confidence,<\/strong> and or give up altogether.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One student I worked with couldn&#8217;t let go of mistakes. See, she expected to not make mistakes at all. One mishap and she&#8217;d <strong>dwell on the mistake<\/strong> and could not focus on her game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When the downward spiral of frustration starts, <strong>momentum is lost<\/strong>. Confidence goes down the drain. Anger leads to bad choices. You know the drill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To perform at your peak, you have to learn how to let go of mistakes quickly and remain in control or <strong>composed<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, what the secret to letting go of mistakes? My work reveals that athletes are more likely to stay composed when they can <strong>accept mistakes<\/strong> as part of sports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For some athletes, acceptance of mistakes is not easy. This is especially true for athletes who have very <strong>high expectations<\/strong> for their performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Leaving_Your_Mistakes_Behind\"><\/span>Leaving Your Mistakes Behind<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When you expect to <strong>perform perfectly<\/strong> or have a zero-mistake performance, you actually set yourself up for failure. Why? The moment you make a mistake, you think you are under performing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus, your first step to boosting composure is to come <strong>mentally prepared<\/strong> to competition knowing that athletes make mistakes and you have to accept this fact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The second step is to manage the <strong>strict expectations<\/strong> that cause you to &#8220;check out&#8221; and sometimes give up when you make errors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, one baseball pitcher I knew expected to throw a no-hitter every game (a very tough task). What do you think happened when he gave up the first hit in the game? He was devastated and overcome with frustration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So your mental game tip for today is to <strong>accept mistakes<\/strong> and part of playing sports. And be mindful of the <strong>expectations<\/strong> that set you up for feeling like you are failing (when you don&#8217;t perform to these expectations).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your Mental Game Coach,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Patrick Cohn<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>p.s. If you want the fast-track to boosting your composure, check out &#8220;The Composed Athlete&#8221; workbook program. You&#8217;ll learn all my secrets for staying <strong>composed after mistakes<\/strong> and how to stay calm during crunch-time:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.peaksports.com\/the-composed-athlete-cd-program\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>The Composed Athlete <\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>p.p.s Did you know that I also do personal mental coaching? Doing personal mental training with athletes is how I get started in sports psychology. This is your absolute fastest option to boost your mental toughness.
