Is Mental Game Coaching Right for You?
When considering mental game coaching, the question you need to ask yourself is:

Am I performing up to my best capability in competition?

Here are some indicators that your performance may be linked to a mental challenge:

• I perform better in practice than I perform in competition.
• I feel anxious or scared when I perform in competition.
• I over-analyze my mistakes and I play tentatively in competition.
• I want to win so bady that I lose focus or have mental lapses.
• I compare myself to other athletes who I think are better than me.
• I lose confidence when I don't play well.
• I think about avoiding mistakes instead of thinking about performing well.
• I play better on the road compared to playing on our home court.
• My self confidence is attached to my level of success or performance.
• I perform with fear of letting others down i.e. parents, team, coach.

Today's athletes subscribe to the notion that they must increase their physical prowess of becoming bigger, faster, and stronger to compete at the next level. From my perspective, physical training alone will not guarantee your success in competition. To obtain the mental edge over your competition, athletes need to also develop the mental aspects of their game so they can elevate their minds to elevate their game.
