Use These 4 Steps👇🏽

In the fast-moving world of sports you need to keep up.

Here’s how to STOP Negative THOUGHTS 👇🏽

1. 🛑 S - 💨 SLOW Down your breathing.

Take 3-4 deep breaths to center your attention

It deactivates the amygdala 🧠 (fear center)

2. 🛑 T - 🎯 TARGET - Focus on your target.

Turn your attention to your equipment and grip, racket, ball, basket, board, or frame.

It activates the visual cortex (makes you see) 🧠 👁️

3. 🛑 O - 🥅 OPTIONS - Check your Options.

What moves, strategies or shots can you make next?

What are the places you can shoot, or people you can pass to?

It optimizes the prefrontal cortex 🧠 (the decision-maker)

4. 🛑 P - 🤽🏼‍♀️PERFORMANCE - Focus on your Performance.

Once you chose your target and options, focus on your NEXT MOVE. 🏸

This Activates a 🌊 FLOW state in the motor cortex 🧠 (the movement-maker)

Use the 4 S.T.O.P. sequence to REFOCUS your attention from negative thoughts to positive performance.

This changes blood flow in your brain and makes you focus better. 💪🏼

💾 Remember to SAVE this post to try the S.T.O.P. technique when you have negative thoughts.

Here 👇🏽

As a Sport Psychologist I’m all about powerful proven techniques that help athletes stay present and improve their performance.

Expensive Attention > Cheap Attention → It’s that Simple

🌟 Key: Replace Cheap Attention with Expensive Attention Regularly

Here’s How to Achieve it:

⭐️ Start reading a few pages (book, article) before going to bed.

it helps you slow down and process information deeper

⭐️ Meditate on your breath

Breath meditation helps you stay calm and increases your oxygen levels

Elite athletes like Novak Djokovic and Michael Jordan meditate often.

⭐️ Sensory Immersion

Observing sounds, voices, images, colors, and tastes when you’re eating or taking a break immerses you in the moment.

⭐️ Listen to podcasts

Podcasts provide powerful information and require longer attention spans.

Save this video to remember how to stay focused and present.

Do you face nervousness and freeze during competit

Do you face nervousness and freeze during competitions?

But are you a star player in practice?

What goes wrong?

Why does so much pressure hit you suddenly and why can’t you handle it?

Here comes to the rescue - Visualization.

The powerful technique that helps you feel confident before and during the match.

Remember to

1. Mentally rehearse your performance
2. Do it daily, not just before the match
3. Focus on the details, muscle movements, and skills [It should feel real]
4. Imagine as if it’s happening right now in the present, not in the future
5. Make sure you only visualize positive emotions and things [winning, playing well] and not the opposite [getting nervous, feel under-confident] It should be what you want to see happening, not what you’re scared of.

🧠 This will activate your mirror neurons and keep you mentally prepared for you match.
