How many parents have stood helplessly by watching young athletes perform in sports only to see their own son or daughter miserably break down during the actual competition? These obvious mental lapses are due to lack of mental toughness, or what the sportscaster might announce as the inability to shake the last bad play.
Unfortunately, while most coaches’ put much thought and effort into teaching playing skills and training the physical body, few put much emphasis on developing what is often described as the mental side of the game. And to make matters worse, teammates often ridicule an athlete for losing what is now termed composure under fire or what used to be called choking.
This is a strange attitude given that it is common knowledge that mental toughness is now considered more that 50% of an athletes overall performance. Why don’t more coaches put more emphasis on the mental aspects of the game? Frankly, it is because they have not been taught themselves how to teach young athletes how to manage what they are thinking during the competition.
Developing mental toughness is not difficult, but it is something that takes practice just as every other aspect of your game.
