Avoiding Psychological Meltdowns
July 5, 2011
For many athletes poor performance seems to hit them from out of the blue. It comes at them unexpectedly and they are surprised and sometimes devastated when this happens. They are playing at a very high level and a few days later they are struggling. I usually see these athletes after they have spent many hours and lots of money on private lessons, watched endless video, or had their skills broken down and rebuilt. When we begin our work together they are lost and don't have much confidence or belief in their talent. They are frustrated and their coaches and others in their system are frustrated too.
