Does your performance feel tight, controlled, or lack of freedom when you compete?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many hard-working athletes who get lots of <strong>confidence<\/strong> from practice get in their own way (mentally) when they compete&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why do athletes tense up and lose trust in their skills when they compete?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Athletes_lose_trust_for_many_reasons_Here_are_a_few\"><\/span>Athletes lose trust for many reasons.

The bottom line&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your mind does not allow you the freedom to perform up to the capabilities you have shown in practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your mind is getting in the way during competition, what&#8217;s the solution?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first step is to understand how you are sabotaging your game in competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Are you afraid to fail? Do you worry too much about what others think? I think trying to be too perfect?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you understand how you&#8217;re getting in your own way, you can address it and make changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Allow me to provide an example&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many athletes I work with continue &#8220;training&#8221; when they compete. They continue with a &#8220;practice mindset&#8221; in competition. They worry more about how it looks and feels than getting the job done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you or your athletes do this, you must learn to separate your practice from your performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But even more important, you have to commit to winning ugly and to get the job done when you compete. You must have faith in your practice and the skills you bring to competition!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is not rocket science&#8230; I think it&#8217;s common sense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why do you practice so hard? So you can have <strong>confidence and trust<\/strong> when you compete. Please don&#8217;t forget this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Want to learn all my secrets for improving trust in competition and performing with a fearless mindset?
