Learn pregame exercises you can use to reduce sports performance anxiety!

When you are too worried and anxious about what’s going to happen, this will likely cause you to play timidly and perform in a tense way rather than freely and confidently. This kind of worry is caused by thinking too much about the outcome.

But to perform your best, you need that feeling of confidence. This is why you must learn how to reduce performance anxiety going into a game. 

That’s where the six pregame exercises that mental game coach, Eli Straw discusses in this podcast come into play.

What you want to do is try each of them out. See which one works best for you and then focus on that one and use it consistently to reduce sports performance anxiety before a game.
