Back to EpisodesLearning How to Win on Bad Days in Sports
Description
Have you ever shown up to the field and kind of already known you weren’t going to play well that day?
As though something inside of you could tell what the future would be. Foreshadowing the inevitable terrible game you were destined to have.
Sometimes when you get to the end of these games, it can seem as though it would have been better to have walked up to your coach and said, “Sorry coach, I just don’t have it today. You better play someone else.”
Getting benched is better than watching as all your stats crumble into a pile of trash.
But what if that feeling didn’t mean you were destined for a bad game?
Every athlete has days where they don’t feel like they’ve got it. In other words, they are having an off day. So the question isn’t whether or not you will have one of these days as an athlete, but how will you respond when you do?
And if you’ve struggled in the past to play well when you weren’t feeling it, that’s okay. Let’s leave that in the past and move on.
It’s time to learn how to win even on the worst of days. This starts with uncovering what exactly causes you, as an athlete, to have off days.
In this episode, mental game coach, Eli Straw, shows you how to win on bad days in sports.
