 Athletes are passionate about their sport and are in it to win it. They are committed to the strict training regiment, the healthy diet, and keeping up with their grades to qualify on the team. However, it can take one bad habit, one bad injury, or one bad season to affect the mindset of an athlete.
Sometimes, the problem is in the movement of the body, most times the problem is in how the player stores the memory of it in their subconscious mind. If the athlete believes or fears the negative experience could occur again, it will greatly impact their performance for weeks or even months. Without the proper coaching, it can deeply affect their future in their sport for good. To perform the best in a sport, even if there was a physical injury is to work on mindset. Question your thoughts, question your beliefs about the situation. Sometimes after a negative event, you can have cognitive distortions where you see things negatively and out of proportion to what occurred. The following are examples: • Labeling: Where you berate yourself for making mistakes, playing poorly – “I suck at this” • Discounting the positive: a good score/shot was sheer luck or a fluke and not from your skills or talents. • Overgeneralization: Assume that one negative game/shot means every game/shot thereafter will be bad too. • Emotional reasoning: Having a false belief that your emotions are the truth and the way you feel about a situation indicates your reality. It’s important to listen and feel emotions but equally important to consider reality based on rational evidence.

 Struggling to break out of bad habits? Tired of feeling like you're stuck in a rut? We've all been there. You hit snooze on your alarm every morning, skip your daily workout, or cave into junk food cravings. You might feel like these behaviors are part of who you are, but the truth is that change is possible. And it all starts with self-awareness.
To make lasting changes to your behavior patterns, you need to first recognize what they are. It's a mental game, but you can win it with the right mindset. The key is to want to make changes that align with your goals and intentions. Take a moment to reflect on your daily routine. Are your habits helping or hindering your progress? What areas do you want to work on? Once you've identified the behaviors you want to change, start small. Focus on easy patterns that are repeatable. This will make the change feel more achievable and help you build momentum. Remember, practice makes perfect, so be patient and kind to yourself. Do you struggle to get out of bed in the morning? You hit snooze many times and end up feeling rushed and frazzled. To break this pattern, try putting your alarm across the room from your bed. That way, you'll have to get up to turn it off. The same applies if your phone is your alarm, put it somewhere out of reach. Don't allow your phone to be a distraction from getting out of bed while you scroll through social media. Wash your face to help wake up, and resist the urge to climb back into bed. Stick to this routine for 4-6 weeks, and you'll find that getting up on time becomes easier and easier. If you struggle to eat healthy, take a closer look at what's holding you back. Are you tempted by the vending machine at work, or can't resist the donuts your boss brings in on Mondays? Try interrupting these patterns. Keep healthy snacks or meals available at your desk. Set a reminder on your phone to snack between meals to keep your energy levels up. With practice and repetition, you'll soon find that healthy eating becomes second nature. Changing habits isn't always easy, especially when you've been doing them for years. When you interrupt old patterns and establish new ones, you can create lasting change. Can you imagine starting your day in control, with purpose, more energized, and focused for the day? It's possible, and it starts with taking that first step. If you struggle to make a change on your own, you should consider working with a coach. A coach can guide you through the process and offer support along the way. Together, you can achieve your goals and create the life you want.
