Every athlete eventually suffers through a performance slump. More often than not, the cause is usually a flaw in their mechanics or their technique that has crept in, and those can typically be identified by a coach and easily tweaked to get things back on track.
However, one of the dreaded side-effects of a performance slump that is far more difficult to remedy… is a loss of confidence.
Confidence is knowing you can… rather than hoping you can.
The heart and soul of mental toughness in sports is confidence. The ability to stay calm under pressure and maintain your focus and concentration when things aren’t going your way.
Every game will have a certain amount of pressure involved. The key factor in determining your success is whether or not you allow that pressure to outweigh your poise and confidence.
