Podcasts about mental game

Pressure doesn't have to define your performance or your worth. On this episode of All Facts Podcast, registered social worker and sports mental coach Ezra Branderhorst explains how athletes can handle pressure, rebuild confidence, and reset when the game gets tough.From the yips and performance anxiety to routines that help athletes refocus, Ezra shares why confidence isn't about being perfect. It's knowing you can adapt and handle whatever happens next. He also explores the role of self-talk, expectations, practice, and a supportive environment and why these lessons apply just as much to everyday life as they do to sports.Whether you're an athlete, coach, parent, or simply someone facing pressure, this conversation offers a fresh perspective on competing hard without tying your identity to the result.

Get a personalised mental game plan with Karl AI. Start Your 7-Day Free Trial Now. https://mindcaddie.app.link/B8OMj7jVv6b  Playing better golf starts with accepting bad shots rather than trying to prevent them. In this episode of The Mind Caddie, Karl Morris is joined by golf performance coach Jim Waldron for a deep dive into the mental game of golf, golf psychology, performance under pressure and the mind-body connection. They explore why acceptance can be the foundation of better performance — and why trying to control your swing, your thoughts and your outcomes can actually make your golf worse. In this episode: Acceptance and the mental game — why accepting every possible outcome can reduce threat and free you to perform. The yips and performance anxiety — why resistance can reinforce the yips and how changing your relationship with them can help. "Let's see what happens" — the simple mindset used by elite players to reduce emotional attachment to the outcome. Swing thoughts and overthinking — why micromanaging tiny movements on the golf course can interfere with natural movement and skill. The mind-body connection — using focused awareness and feel, particularly through the hands, grip and body, rather than constantly thinking about technique. Playing golf with freedom — moving from hope and fear towards acceptance, confidence, focus and a more carefree approach to performance. A compelling conversation about golf mental toughness, confidence, focus, the yips, mindfulness, golf performance coaching and how to access the skills you already have.

This episode features Jae Taft, founder of Vision Basketball Academy in Denver, Colorado, and a player development coach who trains young female athletes with a faith-based mentorship approach. Jae opens up about her college playing career — a promising freshman start at an NAIA program derailed by illness and lost playing time, followed by a transfer to a Division II school that only deepened a cycle of trying to "prove herself." That pressure eventually led her to step away from the game entirely. When COVID hit, a conversation with her father sparked the idea to launch an online training business; she started with a single client over FaceTime and has since grown that into a full gym and a growing online presence.The conversation covers a lot of ground: how Jae rebuilt her identity outside of basketball performance; why the coaching pivot felt like a less natural path for her as a woman than it often does for men; and her core training philosophy of "teaching skills, not drills," built around live, representative play rather than isolated reps. She and Tyler dig deep into gender differences in coaching — the concept of giving young female athletes "permission" to play freely and make mistakes, what it takes for a man to coach women and girls well, and how creating a genuinely safe environment gets the best out of any athlete. She closes by sharing the real, unfiltered challenges of entrepreneurship — imposter syndrome, comparison, and financial risk — along with concrete advice for anyone looking to open their own training facility.Timestamps15:46 — Intro and guest background 16:57 — Jae's NAIA-to-D2 transfer story begins 17:47 — Freshman year: promised the point guard job, then got sick 19:19 — Transfer to D2; the pressure to prove herself continues 20:19 — Stepping away from basketball during COVID 21:19 — Her dad's idea: launching an online training business 22:28 — Landing her first client 22:58 — Where the "need to prove myself" mindset came from 26:48 — Finding identity beyond basketball performance 28:49 — Why coaching is a less natural pivot for women than men 31:04 — Faith, family, and stepping into the calling 35:05 — From one online client to owning a gym in Denver 35:58 — Coaching influences: "teach skills, not drills" 37:12 — Game development training vs. drill mastery 39:20 — Why representation matters more than isolated reps 40:58 — Gender differences in coaching: freedom vs. robotic compliance 45:30 — Where the need for "permission" comes from 48:02 — Girls get coached too much, and rarely get free play 50:55 — Should men coach women and girls? 53:28 — Understanding emotional differences in coaching young women 55:16 — Giving players permission to make mistakes 57:15 — The core principle: be a good person, care about the athlete 59:36 — Transitioning to the entrepreneurship conversation 1:00:17 — Imposter syndrome as a gym owner 1:01:20 — Dealing with comparison to other trainers 1:02:39 — The financial risk of going independent 1:04:13 — Trusting the calling through "valley seasons" 1:07:25 — Actionable advice for opening a gym 1:10:39 — Where to find Jae and closing thoughtsResources & LinksFree Resources: https://byanymeanscoaches.com/resources BAM Coaches Platform: https://platform.byanymeanscoaches.com/#/platform Books: https://byanymeanscoaches.com/blueprint-bookIf you enjoyed this conversation with Jae Taft, check out these episodes next:Gabe Macias (@gametimeelitetraining) talks skills training, building a clientele, finding a gym, creating a culture and more https://www.buzzsprout.com/1911095/episodes/10554225-gabe-macias-gametimeelitetraining-talks-skills-training-building-a-clientele-finding-a-gym-creating-a-culture-and-moreBJU MBB Tony Miller on Culture, Analytics, Player-Led Basketball and Shot Selection https://www.buzzsprout.com/1911095/episodes/19459642-bju-mbb-tony-miller-on-culture-analytics-player-led-basketball-and-shot-selectionG-League Coach of the Year, Vitor Galvani, on Why Player Development Isn't Linear, G-League Practices, Being Where Your Feet Are and Much More https://www.buzzsprout.com/1911095/episodes/19047395-g-league-coach-of-the-year-vitor-galvani-on-why-player-development-isn-t-linear-g-league-practices-being-where-your-feet-are-and-much-more

Britt, Brad, and former U.S. Soccer captain Carlos Bocanegra sit down with Dr. Ben Freakley for a practical conversation on the mental side of youth sports. Freakley, a military brat and former college soccer player and coach, traces his path from a painful VMI loss that pushed him into sports psychology, to work with Army Rangers, the Toronto Blue Jays' mental performance department, and building Atlanta United's high-performance staff alongside Bocanegra. He now leads Ready, Set, Resilient and consults with athletes, coaches, and high performers.The discussion centers on cognitive load: how parents yelling from the stands, coaches barking from the sideline, and a kid's own inner voice create “noise” that makes it harder to play. Freakley explains why coaches (and parents) should cut feedback to one or two clear points, triage what actually matters, and save the rest for later. He offers a simple post-game framework he uses with his own high-school football-playing sons—goals, honest reflection on what went well, what to improve, and a plan for next time—aimed at building self-awareness rather than delivering a play-by-play critique.Freakley shares his expertise and a hot take on developing confidence, and he talks a length about stressing process over results.Bocanegra and Freakley also share what they looked for in young academy players beyond speed and skill: kids who showed up every day, competed, and figured things out when they weren't the most gifted.Freakley's closing billboard for every youth field: Love your kid. Unconditional positive regard. No conditions of worth tied to points, minutes, or wins. “You're enough.” A grounded, coach-and-parent-friendly episode on reducing noise, building process, and keeping the relationship first.

Doubles pickleball is a team sport just like football or basketball. Two players instead of 5 or 11, but the same dynamics apply: your team plays its best when both players are in sync.You cannot control your partner. But you can communicate with them, and there's a constructive way to do that. The second idea is sonder. Everyone on the court is walking their own path. Your partner included. That matters most in the small moments, like when someone apologizes after a miss. Tony explains why the "sorry" reflex tends to make the dynamic more uncomfortable, and what to say instead. The through line is simple. How you treat your partner shapes how they play. How they play shapes how your team plays. Partner play is a skill, and it's one you can hone.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, I'm joined by Travis Wagner, college lacrosse goalie and coach, who shares his journey from becoming a goalie at just three years old to developing into a college starter and coach. Travis talks about how watching indoor lacrosse inspired him to play goalie, the mentors who shaped his game, and how playing box lacrosse helped him improve his angles and presence in the cage.We talk about Travis's unique approach to goalie mechanics, including his bottom-hand philosophy, keeping his hips loaded, preventing his knees from buckling, and using his size to fill the cage. Travis also shares how strength training, eye exercises, studying shooters, and developing consistent pregame routines helped him improve both physically and mentally.This conversation also dives into the mental side of goaltending, including dealing with slumps, avoiding overthinking, staying loose, finding your own style, and learning how to stay present. Travis also explains what he looks for when coaching and recruiting goalies, from communication and clearing ability to body language, footwork, and how players respond after giving up a goal.In this episode, we talk about:How Travis became a goalie at just three years oldHow Pat O'Toole and indoor lacrosse inspired himThe role Travis's grandfather played in his early developmentLearning from Willie Clancy, Dennis Costanza, and Blaze ReardonHow playing box lacrosse helped his field goalie gameDeveloping his own unique goalie styleTravis's bottom-hand dominant goalie philosophyUsing height and positioning to fill the cageKeeping the hips loaded on five-hole savesPreventing the knees from bucklingHow glute medius strength helped his goalie movementStrength training and goblet squats for goaliesBreaking his thumb six times and developing additional protectionTransferring to Cortland and becoming a four-year starterUsing eye exercises to improve visual trackingStudying shooters and learning their tendenciesDeveloping consistent pregame routinesDealing with a difficult slump during his junior yearUsing simple phrases to stay present and focusedLearning from hockey goalies and baseball catchersWhy there is no one-size-fits-all goalie styleWhat Travis looks for when recruiting college goaliesThe importance of communication and clearingHow goalies should respond after giving up a goalSupporting and celebrating teammatesWhy goalies should enjoy the moment and appreciate the gameKey TakeawaysFind your own style. Travis emphasizes that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to playing goalie. Every goalie has different strengths, body types, and athletic abilities, so the goal is to find what works for you.Stay present instead of overthinking. Travis talks about how overthinking his movements hurt his performance during a difficult stretch. Simple reminders like “Be here now” helped him refocus on the moment.Build your athleticism. Strengthening the hips, glutes, and lower body can help goalies maintain better positioning and move more effectively in the cage.Study the game. Travis learned to recognize shooting tendencies by studying shooters and having conversations with his teammates about where they would shoot in different situations.Communication matters. For goalies going through the recruiting process, Travis emphasizes loud, clear communication with defenders and being someone a coach can hear and trust from the cage.Your response after a goal matters. Coaches notice body language and how a goalie responds after giving up a goal. Resetting quickly and staying engaged with your teammates can be just as important as the save itself.Memorable Quote“Be where your feet are. Enjoy every moment that you're playing and just appreciate the brotherhood that comes with playing this game.”About Travis WagnerTravis Wagner is a college lacrosse goalie and coach who played at Cortland, where he became a four-year starter. After developing his game through field and box lacrosse, Travis continued to grow as a player through athletic training, studying the position, and learning from other goalies. He now coaches and works with goalies, bringing his experience as a player into his approach to developing the next generation of goaltenders.Final ThoughtsTravis's story is a great reminder that becoming a better goalie is about more than just making saves. Developing your own style, staying athletic, studying the game, preparing mentally, and learning from setbacks all play a role in becoming a better goaltender. Most importantly, Travis reminds goalies to stay present, enjoy the game, and appreciate the brotherhood that comes with playing lacrosse.Support the show

Monday Mini, cracking question from Martin in Western Australia. Martin asks Nick and Mark to build the perfect prototype golfer, choosing from 5 categories of golf play - Driving, Irons, Short Game, Putting, Mental Game. Nick and Mark build a prototype golfer made up of Australian players, and then an International version, with a different player being selected for each of the attributes.There are some players that the boys say picked themselves and had to be selected in that specific category, no-brainers...but there's bound to be some controversy! And of course there are some fun stories and anecdotes on the way through the show.See if you agree with their picks, or if you reckon Nick and Mark have missed with their selections, love your thoughts in the comments.We're live from Titleist and FootJoy HQ thanks to our great partners:Hostplus, Talk Birdie To Me's official retirement partnerBMW, luxury and comfort for the 19th hole;Titleist, the #1 ball in golf;FootJoy, the #1 shoe and glove in golf;Golf Clearance Outlet, they beat everyone's prices;Betr, the fastest and easiest betting app in Australia;The Find My Player app - follow every player on every tour;And Southern Golf Club.

Former PGA Tour pro David Canipe, The Confidence Doctor Dr. Bob Winters, and original Golf Channel creative force Michael J. Whelan join me for an episode filled with great stories, mental-game advice, and a trip through golf history. We start with David Canipe, a three-year letterman at the University of Georgia who helped the Bulldogs win the 1972 SEC Championship before beginning a professional career that epitomized what it meant to be a grinder. David takes us back to the old Space Coast Tour, where he estimates he won 25 times, and shares what it took to make it through PGA Tour Q-School three different times. We also hear about playing alongside Bill Kratzert at Georgia, the incredible field he faced at his first Q-School in 1976, and some of the biggest moments of his PGA Tour career—including becoming the early leader at the 1984 U.S. Open, finishing T4 at the 1988 Las Vegas Invitational, making the cut at Jack Nicklaus' Memorial Tournament, and taking the 54-hole lead into Sunday at the 1989 Southern Open. Then, The Confidence Doctor, Dr. Bob Winters, returns with a mental-game lesson every golfer needs to hear: stop playing holes that haven't happened yet. We've all done it. Three holes to go and suddenly we're calculating what we need to shoot to break a milestone score, win the tournament, or finally beat our buddies. Dr. Bob explains why getting ahead of ourselves can derail a great round, how to stay present when the pressure builds, and even shares a simple rubber-band trick that can help bring your mind back to the shot in front of you. Finally, Michael J. Whelan returns to take us inside his fascinating new book, The Fairways of Wisdom. Mike was the guy behind everything when The Golf Channel launched in the mid-1990s, creating its original programming and assembling the talent both in front of and behind the cameras. His remarkable television career also includes HBO, CBS, and NBC. In The Fairways of Wisdom, Mike combines that lifetime of storytelling with his love of golf, playing 9 holes with 9 legends and exploring the lessons and wisdom they might share. Three terrific guests. PGA Tour stories from a true grinder. A mental-game lesson you can use during your very next round. And a creative journey alongside some of golf's greatest legends. It's all here on Next on the Tee—where golf legends live and your game gets better. Thank you for pressing play and taking the journey with us.

A ceramics instructor swapped a ball for a "priceless" vase and watched his class tense up. Nobody forgot how to catch. They just became afraid of what dropping it would mean.That shift happens in pickleball too. Early on, the game is just fun. Then the expectations arrive, and the same missed shot that meant nothing now feels like a big deal. This week I talk about how expectations change how you interpret what happens on the court, and why setting them before you play protects the enjoyment that makes this sport worth coming back to.In the Riff: improvement frustration. Working hard on the wrong thing (the third shot drop is a common example) can leave you wondering where the payoff is. I explain the block-by-block approach we use in Your Pickleball Coach, and why locking in one block before moving to the next builds a positive loop that lasts.Your Pickleball Coach: https://yourpickleball.coachIf cost is an obstacle, email support@tonyroigpickleball.com and we will work with you.

Episode 93 of The Mental Game features author Scott D. Reich, whose latest book, One Day in September: Baseball, Brotherhood, and the Birth of the All-Star Game, tells the remarkable story of a 1917 exhibition game at Fenway Park that brought together some of baseball's biggest stars.In the midst of World War I, Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb, “Shoeless” Joe Jackson, Tris Speaker, Walter Johnson, Connie Mack and other legends took the field together — in the midst of a heated pennant race — for a fallen colleague and a cause larger than baseball.As All-Star Games (such as the NFL's now-defunct Pro Bowl) wither and die, Reich joins The Mental Game to break down the mental side of playing for something beyond personal gain.In this episode, Reich:Explains the remarkable circumstances that brought so many baseball legends together at Fenway Park in 1917Dives into what the exhibition reveals about the power of sports to uniteExplores how modern society has evolved beyond what Ruth, Cobb, and others accomplished in 1917And much moreThe Mental Game podcast is produced by Sam Brief and music is courtesy of David Brief and Channel J.

On this episode of Performance Talk, Dr. Ewell Gordon sits down with sports psychologist Dr. Haley Perlis for a powerful conversation about the mental side of athletic performance. They explore how athletes can build confidence when entering new environments, navigate setbacks and rehabilitation, distinguish useful feedback from mental “noise,” and learn to perform even when they don't feel ready. From embracing progress over perfection to giving your best effort with whatever you have that day, this episode offers practical insights for athletes, coaches, parents, and performance professionals looking to develop greater mental toughness and unlock their potential.

There is a lot going on in a pickleball game. Four players, several rallies inside every rally, the lob, the dink, the banger, the volley you got jammed on. And underneath all of it, a conversation running in your head about the score, your partner, the wind, the shot you should have made.That's all sound. No silence anywhere.The week before a live coaching call, Tony visited an art exhibit called "Silence Before Sound." One room, roughly the size of a small house, held three pieces of art. That was intentional. They could have filled it, but filling it would have defeated the point.Your brain works on the same principle. Give it three things to see, and it sees all three. Give it fifty-three, and it sees none of them.In this episode, Tony connects negative space to the Tap Into Your Flow series inside the Tony Roig Pickleball project, shares what players reported after using The Blue Danube as an anchor, and offers a practice you can start before your next session. Not on the court. In the car, before you get out.Learn more about Your Pickleball Coach at https://yourpickleball.coach

https://www.siegergolf.com/online-courses Golf is often described as a game of technique, but ask the world's greatest players and they'll tell you that what happens in your head can be just as important as what happens with your swing. In this episode of The Golfing Mind, we look at the three essential mental game principles that Robin Siegwer, after 40 years of research and study, believes beyond doubt can transform the way you play.

What separates high performers who thrive under pressure from those who become overwhelmed by it?In this episode of the Builders of Authority Podcast, Adam McChesney sits down with Dr. Erin Shannon, a doctor of clinical psychology who has spent more than 15 years working with elite athletes, Olympians, CEOs, veterans, and other high performers.Growing up in a family of professional athletes gave Dr. Shannon a natural understanding of the pressure that comes with performing at the highest level. She shares how an unexpected opportunity to help a professional baseball pitcher in 2011 led her into the world of sports psychology and performance coaching.In this conversation, Adam and Dr. Shannon discuss:• The mental and emotional pressure behind high performance• Why every game is ultimately a mental game• The difference between making decisions from fear or fire• How fear limits creativity, confidence, and vision• Turning pressure into energy, focus, and a flow state• Why entrepreneurs and athletes face similar psychological challenges• Breaking the stigma around therapy and performance coaching• Using mental health support proactively instead of waiting for a crisis• Simple nervous system regulation techniques, including EFT tapping• The benefits of vagus nerve regulation and morning sunlight• Dr. Shannon's work with athletes, CEOs, veterans, and prison rehabilitation programsDr. Shannon also explains why mental health professionals should be viewed like family doctors: trusted resources for regular check-ins, personal development, and long-term performance rather than people you only contact when something is wrong.This episode offers practical insights for entrepreneurs, athletes, and leaders who want to manage pressure, strengthen their mindset, and perform at a higher level without sacrificing their mental and emotional well-being.

Episode 308: The Definitive Guide to Out Ball DisputesHere's the situation. Score is 10-9-2. Your team is serving. You hit a volley, crisp, and it lands right on the line. A hair in or a hair out.Your opponent calls it out.You're sure it was in. What now?Most of us go straight to the challenge. That instinct makes sense. You saw what you saw, the point mattered, and nobody likes losing a game on a call they don't agree with.But before you say anything, run through a few questions.Who created the situation? You did. You hit the ball so close to the line that your friend was put in an impossible spot. Unless you believe they're cheating you, they made the best call they could in a situation you handed them.Where is this conversation going? They say out. You say you saw it in. They say they saw it out. Then what? Even if nobody escalates, the temperature on that court already changed the second you opened your mouth.Is there enough riding on it? Is this point worth spending your friendship capital on?Are you 100% sure you're right? Would you bet your life on it? I clipped a call like this recently and zoomed all the way in. I still couldn't tell you. I wouldn't bet a dollar on it.And if we want to play by the rules, the rules are clear about whose call it is. Theirs.Last one. Flip it around. They serve, you call their ball out, and they come at you about it. How does that feel?Work through those questions, and the answer shows up on its own. Move on. Don't pause. Don't look twice. Toss the ball, serve, carry on.In competitive play with a referee, an appeal is fine. That's what referees are for. An appeal is not a dispute.And here's the part that matters most. Those same filters work off the court. Is it worth the cost? Where is this going? Am I sure? How would this feel from the other side? That's a useful screen for a lot of disagreements that have nothing to do with pickleball.You're out there to play, see your friends, and have a good time. Protect that.In the riff, I take you behind the scenes on the new course we're building here at Tony Roig Pickleball. It starts from a premise I want you to sit with: you are a capable, intelligent adult, and you can learn to navigate this game yourself. My job is to transfer what I know to you. Yours is to go play.A thank you to the founding members who have joined us. This coaching, including this podcast, is possible because of you. It means a lot.Be well,Tony

Mental performance coach Stacy Ingram reveals why teen athletes with the most talent still hit a wall when they haven't trained the mental side.   Talent gets an athlete to the starting line, but mental toughness is what decides who's still standing at the finish. Dr. Andrew Fix sits down with Stacy, founder of Catalyst Mental Performance, to explore why so many young athletes build their entire mindset around results and what happens when injury, a slump, or the end of a season pulls that identity out from under them.   Ingram breaks down her IGNITE framework and explains why the difference between coaching and therapy matters more than most people realize. She and Fix dig into a question worth sitting with: what actually happens in your brain and body when the pressure is highest, and are you training for that moment or just hoping to survive it?   From free throw lines to final exams to high pressure moments at work, the conversation makes a compelling case that nervous system regulation and self-talk are skills, not personality traits. Ingram also gets honest about the gap between wanting to change and being ready to do the work, and what parents and coaches can do to spot the difference.   Whether you coach athletes, raise one, or just want to perform better under your own version of pressure, this episode offers a practical look at what separates those who thrive under pressure from those who crumble.   Quotes "Without the sport or like a big job you might have had or a career, if you don't know who you are as a person, you take that away and all of a sudden you have this huge gap of confidence because what made you you, at least in your mind, is gone." (12:54 | Stacy Ingram) "Therapy is really all about sort of how did you get here and looking a little bit more backwards, where coaching is all about how do like you're here, no matter how you got here, how do we move you forward?" (20:01 | Stacy Ingram) "We often aren't playing our best game when we're only focused on the score. And again, it doesn't mean we don't always want to win. Of course we want to win. But we want to do the things that give us the best chance." (34:37 | Stacy Ingram) "If you do nothing or implement nothing I teach you, nothing will change." (49:36 | Stacy Ingram) "Being intentional about our actions and our life instead of just letting things happen to us, kind of guiding that path and how we do that ourselves intentionally versus letting other people pick and choose it for us."

Christine Hobson retired at 60. Two days later, she ran her first marathon.She has run more than 100 since. Every continent. A world record in Antarctica. And when she describes it, she does not lead with the marathons. She leads with what the first one taught her: she had been underestimating herself the whole time.That is the topic this week.We do this as humans. We try something, it does not go well, and we file it away as evidence. Enough of those and we start building a case against ourselves. I hear it constantly when I suggest pickleball to somebody. I'm too old. I'm too out of shape. I'm too late. Fill in the blank.There is a second story in the episode that lands the same point from a different angle. A woman on a date says, almost by accident, that in another universe she would be a stand-up comedian. She had never said it out loud before. Her date asks the obvious question back: why not in this universe? She gave him the list of reasons. He kept peeling them back. She became a stand-up comedian.So here is the pickleball version. You have a picture of yourself out on the court. The player who sees the game better, who puts the ball where they meant to put it, who feels good walking on. If that player is a 3.5 and you are a 2.5, there is nothing structural stopping you. Not tomorrow. Maybe not in six months. But in eighteen months, with a clear plan and a clear sense of what you are working on, absolutely.To be sure, some things really do impede you. Bad information impedes you. Bad guidance impedes you. Coming at the game from a purely technical angle, where you need to know the exact paddle angle and exactly where each toe points, impedes you, because that is not how the brain learns to play. Those are real.Everything else on your list, you put there.And to be clear, none of this is a directive. Nobody needs to reach a level. If you are happy playing exactly the way you play now, that is a fine place to be. But if there is a version of you out ahead that you actually want, do not be the one blocking the path.**The riff: two ways to handle adversity**Missing a shot is an adverse event. Small on the scale of adversity, but real inside the game.First situation. My partner and I are stacked. The return of serve comes back hard, with spin, into the far corner. He has to cover a lot of ground and hit a very difficult backhand. He catches the top of the net. Good effort, hard shot, no issue.He apologizes. I tell him there is nothing to apologize for, that it was a great return and a tough ask from that position, and that I am not upset. He apologizes again. Then he says it: I shouldn't miss that.He processed it the same way today that he processed it a few years ago. It is a loop, and it costs him something every time.Second situation. Last game of the day, court one, score somewhere in the fours, evenly matched. My focus wandered off. I do not know where it went, but it left. I missed a few shots I do not normally miss.I could have hunkered down and demanded that focus come back. But there is no switch to flip. Ebbs and flows in attention are the most natural thing in the world. They happen to full-time professional athletes in every sport.So I told my partner: pick me up, I'll be back in a few minutes. And I was. We lost that game, but we tightened it up and made it competitive down the stretch.Same category of event. Two very different relationships with it. The second one gives you a calmer mind, and a calmer mind sees the court better and hits the next ball better. That is not a soft benefit. That is the mechanism.**Extra coaching tip**Notice who your partner is apologizing to. When a player says sorry after a difficult miss, they are usually not apologizing to you. They are apologizing to the version of themselves who was supposed to make that shot. That is why reassurance from you does not land. You cannot answer an expectation you did not set.What you can do is name the difficulty of the shot out loud, once, and then move on to the next point with your own body language completely neutral. You are not arguing with their standard. You are just declining to feed it.Be well,Tony
