mindset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In contrast, I\u2019ve been with athletes who either <strong>focused<\/strong> too much on the past or future, or both&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They continued to think about their first missed serve, double, or net violation. Or, they might have maintained an <strong>outcome focus<\/strong>; <strong>focusing<\/strong> on winning or losing and what happens with each scenario.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I coached a setter one club season, and she was good. She consistently outperformed the second setter on the team. This player also ended playing for a D1 in North Carolina; just talented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During this particular club season, she received two &#8220;double&#8221; calls within the first two days of a three-day tournament. Doubles were uncommon for this setter and she didn\u2019t know what was going on. Honestly, both of the sets looked clean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The third day was Championship Sunday and our team was playing for Gold&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This setter, who was our first setter lost her <strong>composure<\/strong> in the first set of the first match. She got called for another double.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As we went into the second set, she said she couldn\u2019t do it and the other setter had to set. This player wasn\u2019t able to let go of those calls. Therefore, she struggled to move on and continue playing in the present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A volleyball player touches the ball countless times during a match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A libero, for example, is going to pass the ball the majority of times it comes over the net. The setter is going to touch the ball around 98% of the time her team has possession, as they have every second ball.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Volleyball_is_a_%E2%80%9Cone-point-at-a-time%E2%80%9D_game_and_success_comes_when_that_is_how_its_played\"><\/span>Volleyball is a &#8220;one-point-at-a-time&#8221; game, and success comes when that is how it\u2019s played.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s easy to say &#8220;play one point at a time,&#8221; right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Though, when it\u2019s all said and done, more is said than done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>HOW<\/strong> do you let go of errors?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"HOW_do_you_play_in_the_present\"><\/span>HOW do you play in the present?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>HOW<\/strong> do you play one point at a time?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"One_strategy_to_direct_your_focus_and_help_you_develop_a_one-point-at-a-time_mindset_is_to_use_performance_cues\"><\/span>One strategy to direct your focus and help you develop a one-point-at-a-time mindset is to use performance cues.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Performance cues<\/strong> are relevant to your specific tasks, such as serving, serve receive, blocking, setting, attacking, and so forth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A <strong>performance cue<\/strong> for a setter may be something like, <em>&#8220;Feet under the ball,&#8221; &#8220;Hold your finish,&#8221; &#8220;Know your hitter options,&#8221;<\/em> etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You want to develop one or two <strong>performance cues<\/strong> that are relevant to your specific role on the court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Use these cues after an error, another <strong>distraction,<\/strong> or as a strategy to guide your game plan.
