Show notes

When you join a new team, you want to get off on the right foot. You want to impress your new coaches and teammates. And you want to set yourself up for a fun and successful season.
But all of this can lead to stress and unwelcomed pressure. Stress and pressure that can quickly lead you away from your goal and result in you performing poorly.
I'm currently working with many athletes in one-on-one mental performance coaching who are joining new teams. My work with them is focused on getting them mentally prepared for the upcoming season.
So they can show their new coaches and teammates the type of player they can be.
To get them mentally prepared, there have been some key ideas we've gone over. Key ideas I know will help you as well if you are about to join a new team or have already joined a new team and are at the beginning of the season.
What I've done is taken those key ideas and turned them into five sport psychology tips. Tips that, if you stick to them, will significantly help you when it comes to joining a new team.
