The Mental Game - Part 2 with Paul Babcock and Pete Meyer

The mental game of an athlete is one that can make or break them. The phrase, “it's all mental” speaks volumes. As an athlete, you can't win if you do not have mental toughness. Your success is directly proportional to how much mental toughness you have. To be mentally tough, you have to be willing to do the things most athletes will not do.

Athletes can be affected by negative psychological factors either outside or inside the body that may obstruct their focus, cause disruptions in their preparation, and, at times, result in injuries. They may experience physical symptoms such as muscles tightening, shaking, and increased sweating. No matter the sport, team or individual, mental toughness is key. 

We typically see athletes underperform because they've cracked mentally. Once that happens, the body quickly follows with body language. It's important to stay present in the moment and regain focus. 

Many Elite athletes have a constant practice of “staying in the zone”. Resulting in subconscious concentration. Engaging in self-talk is crucial to an athlete's determination. Giving affirmations to oneself gives encouragement to keep pushing as well as  the ability to dilute and manage nerves. Another method of practice is replacing the word “can't”. Top Athletes like Kobe, MJ and Derrick Jeter were some players who were known to have incredible mental toughness, which ultimately resulted in endless accolades.
