What is the secret to superior sports performance

November 26th, 2009 by nedmarx

Great athletes are one of the things that we enjoy to watch.  The things that they could do physically seem impossible at times.  But in reality some of the champions are no better then their competition physically.Their secret to being more successful than the others is because they have more mental toughness.  What most people don’t realize is that people succeed or fail based upon how strong their mindset is.

Let us consider some cases.  As a San Diego family therapist I see it all the time with student athletes.You encounter kids are really physically gifted.But a lot of times they do not achieve success because their mental toughness hinders them.We hear it all the time in pro sports.  You have great athletes who repeatedly fail to win the big game.Even if they are touted as one of the best in their said sports.When the time has come to them to win it all, they fail to do it.Those who succeed are those who are physically and mentally tough.

That is why as a San Diego sports psychologist I have so many clients come in who need a breakthrough.  They are gifted physically but can’t compete for some reason.  Most of the time it is in their mind.That is the time when my service can help.Because a lot of times they just have to hurdle their psychological block.Once they get past that hurdle then they can start to become more successful.

Another thing that I witness in athletes that hinders them is their anger.If they can’t control their emotions then they can’t perform well leading to poor performances.  Doing anger management counseling has allowed me to turn athletes around who were letting anger get the best of them.  But by seeking help and being willing to change they can achieve success.
