athletes in any sport.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>No matter the sport or your level of experience, the yips can become problematic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In golf, the <strong>yips<\/strong> can hamper a golfer\u2019s ability to swing a club freely. Faced with a 3-foot putt, a golfer with the yips might <strong>hesitate<\/strong> before getting the putter moving forward or jerk during the stroke, making easy putts just as challenging as those from a much further distance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In baseball, the <strong>yips<\/strong> can <strong>hinder<\/strong> routine throws. An infielder with the yips will often double clutch, grip the ball too tightly or try to <strong>over-control<\/strong> the ball during routine throws, causing the throw to bounce into the ground or be thrown wildly off target.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In basketball, the <strong>yips<\/strong> can interfere with a player\u2019s ability to shoot <strong>efficiently.<\/strong> A basketball player with the yips may <strong>hesitate<\/strong> at some point during their shooting motion, <strong>over-think<\/strong> their form or try to guide the ball into the basket, instead of shooting with full trust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Think of examples in your sport where you, or another athlete you were watching, suddenly had an unexplained hitch while performing a routine task.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s <strong>frustrating,<\/strong> maddening, <strong>anxiety<\/strong> ridden, <strong>mentally wearing<\/strong> and even causes some athletes to walk away from their sport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One athlete who walked away from his sport due to a mental battle with the yips is Hayden Hurst&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2012, Hurst was drafted by the Pittsburgh Pirates, but the <strong>yips<\/strong> prevented Hurst from reaching the Major Leagues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hurst had a lot of potential with a 97 MPH fastball and all the tools necessary to be a solid pitcher on the major league level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All changed in his second year in the minors when Hurst developed the yips. Hurst lost command of his pitches and once hit a batter in the head knocking him unconscious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>HURST:<\/strong> <em>&#8220;After that, it got 1,000 times worse&#8230; The wheels came off. I can\u2019t really explain it. It just happened out of nowhere.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>yips<\/strong> not only baffled Hurst but were the reason he walked away from baseball&#8230; Forever!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>HURST:<\/strong><em> &#8220;To this day. I haven\u2019t really figured out what happened&#8230; Haven\u2019t tried [to throw a baseball since leaving the Pirate\u2019s organization] to be honest. Haven\u2019t even gone near a baseball field.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What makes the <strong>yips<\/strong> even more <strong>mentally challenging<\/strong> is that you might perform well in practice and you feel you are making progress, then out of nowhere, the yips strike in a game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After a while the yo-yo nature of the yips begins to take hold of your mind and you begin to question your ability, technique and, even, your level of talent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At that point, your <strong>trust<\/strong> in your game has completely gone and your <strong>confidence<\/strong> is shot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>HURST:<\/strong> <em>&#8220;It\u2019s a battle inside your head every single second of the day. You second-guess what you\u2019re doing, why you\u2019re doing it, why this is happening to you.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eventually, yips got the best of Hurst and he changed sports and now is a tight end with the NFL Baltimore Ravens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_yips_dont_have_to_be_the_end_for_you\"><\/span>The yips don\u2019t have to be the end for you.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are aware of how the <strong>yips<\/strong> develop and the cycle of the yips, you can learn <strong>mental strategies<\/strong> to <strong>overcome the yips<\/strong> and improve your game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Triumph_Over_the_Yips\"><\/span>How to Triumph Over the Yips:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tip #1:<\/strong> It is important to realize you <strong>CAN<\/strong> triumph over the yips. The yips are mental and not caused by a neuromuscular problem.<br><strong>Tip #2:<\/strong> If you understand what the yips are and the things that keep you stuck in that cycle, you can demystify the yips and look for viable <strong>mental strategies<\/strong> to turn things around.<br><strong>Tip #3:<\/strong> Most of the time, the yips are caused by <strong>fear of failure<\/strong> or <strong>fear of embarrassment<\/strong>. You have to get past the worry about making a bad throw, putt, or serve to overcome the yips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out more information on how to overcome the yips cycle in baseball and golf&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Baseball<\/strong> &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.peaksports.com\/overcome-throwing-yips\/\"><strong>Breaking The Yips Cycle: Mental Strategies to Improve Confidence &amp; Throw Freely Again<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Golf<\/strong> &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.peaksports.com\/breaking-the-yips-cycle-dvd\/\"><strong>Breaking The Yips Cycle: How to Putt, Chip &amp; Pitch Freely &amp; Enjoy Playing Golf Again<\/strong><\/a><\/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\/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\/how-can-you-cure-the-yips\/\"><strong>How Can You Cure The Yips?<\/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 Podcast<\/strong><\/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>.
