What is the best motivation for athletes? 🏆
In this episode, I break down the different types of motivation in sports and show you how to discover what truly drives you as an athlete.
We’ll start by defining motivation and why it’s the inspiration behind both your training and your game-time performance. You’ll learn the difference between intrinsic motivation (playing for the love of the game) and extrinsic motivation(playing for rewards, recognition, or results).
I’ll share examples of two athletes who are driven by completely different things—so you can see how powerful it is to understand your own “why.” From there, you’ll learn how to craft a motivation statement (your personal why statement) that keeps you focused and driven all season long.
For athletes who lean more on extrinsic motivation, I’ll explain how to use outcome goals the right way—by letting them fuel your focus on the process. Finally, we’ll cover how to turn your motivation into daily habits so your drive isn’t something you feel only on game day, but something that guides you every day in training and competition.
If you’ve ever asked yourself what is the best motivation for athletes, this video will give you the clarity and tools to answer that question for yourself.

Anxiety & Fear Course
Getting benched is one of the greatest fears athletes experience.
No athlete wants to get benched. Taken out of the game and losing their starting position.
It’s awful. It’s embarrassing. But it’s something many athletes will face at one point or another in their career.
Which is why, knowing how to respond to getting benched and handling it in a productive way is so important.
As a mental performance coach, I work with many athletes who have been benched and I also have been an athlete myself and experienced the frustrations of being benched.
When I was playing, I don’t think I handled getting benched in as productive of a way as I should have. However, I learned a lot from my experience and now use what I learned to help the athletes I work with.
What I have done is outlined six tips for you to focus on when you get benched. The tips cover some strategies you can use, along with certain ways of thinking you want to avoid.

Goal setting for athletes is all about direction, focus, and intention.
Depending on the goal you set, you can provide yourself with long-term direction, or you could provide yourself with clear intention for the day.
No matter what type of goal you set as an athlete, though, goals are at the core of you becoming the best player you can be.
But not all goals are helpful. In fact, some forms of goal setting can hold you back and cause you to underperform.
Therefore, it’s important for you, as an athlete, to understand the right types of goals to set and learn how to use them in the most effective way possible.

What does it mean to unlock your full athletic potential? Does it mean you’ve peaked? You’ve reached the top of the mountain and there’s no more for you to climb?
Maybe.
But that is a challenge in and of itself, because how do we know if you’ve peaked? Isn’t there always a little more you can achieve? A little stronger you can become or a little faster you can get?
It’s hard to say you’ve reached your full potential without simultaneously feeling like you are accepting you are as good as you’ll ever be. And that is not a type of acceptance I think is helpful.
I want you to always strive to be a better athlete. And if that’s the case, how can I say we’re going to try and unlock your full potential?
Because, when we think about unlocking your full potential as an athlete, it’s about unlocking your full potential, today.
These 6 tips will help you unlock your full potential for any given day. No matter if it's for a game, training session, or practice.

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.

In this episode, you will learn what causes you to freeze during games, and what you can do to stop freezing and perform freely!
Have you experienced the feeling of freezing up? It’s when you’re stuck in your tracks, unable to perform freely. You may be a speaker and you can’t seem to get words to form, a soccer player who won’t shoot on goal, or a baseball player who simply freezes up at the plate.
A great example of freezing up in the middle of competition comes from a high school basketball player I was working with. The frustration he is feeling truly highlights how impactful this type of behavior is.
He expressed to me how he trains relentlessly, putting up two-hundred shots a day. That type of repetition is amazing and crucial to building mastery and gaining confidence. Though, there is one major problem. In the games, he can’t shoot.
The young man freezes up whenever he gets the ball. In his words, “It’s not even that I’m performing poorly, I’m not performing at all.” How frustrating! You put in all that effort to train your skills, but when it comes time to show off your talents, your mind inhibits you from doing so.
I experienced this myself on quite a few occasions. Stepping into the batter’s box, my mind, at times, would be full of clutter. Concerns and fears swimming around, clouding the freedom I needed to perform naturally.
In these instances, I would freeze up on even the most perfect pitches. I can remember taking a pitch right down the middle, stepping out of the box, and thinking, “What am I doing, why didn’t I swing at that?”
It makes no logical sense why we freeze up. As an athlete or performer, competition time is supposed to be your moment to shine, allowing your hard work to be rewarded and showcasing your talents. But that’s not possible when an uncontrollable mind takes over.
Why do we freeze up? What is it about performances that lead to us becoming unable to execute freely?

In this episode, you will learn a 3 part strategy to manage distractions during games.
When you perform your best, one of the defining characteristics is likely that you’re focused. This is true no matter what sport you play or what position you play. When you perform at your highest level, you are locked in.
There hasn’t been an athlete I’ve worked with who’s said otherwise. When we are trying to define their peak performance mindset, pretty much every one of them includes focus. That’s because, for you to play your best, you need to be focused.
Knowing that, why is it so hard to stay focused during games? Because there are a ton of things that pull at your attention and cause you to become distracted while you play.
While we can’t do much about the distractions, what we can do is improve your ability to manage your attention in the face of such distractions. And that is done by training your focus as an athlete.

A common theme I see in athletes I work with is success leading to expectations, which develops into stress, resulting in them underperforming in games.
But shouldn't success lead to more success? Shouldn't it generate high level feelings of confidence and trust, knowing they've done it before so they can do it again...yeah, sometimes.
But other times success leads to fear and worry. They need to prove to themselves and others that it wasn't a fluke. That they can play like that again and again.
They may also feel like they can't go backwards, otherwise they'll never get to that level of success again.
Instead of allowing the success they've experienced to increase their confidence and lead to trust, the athlete can feel as though they are walking on eggshells.
It's not a matter of, "I know I can perform well", as much as it's, "I hope I can keep this up."

When you review your games, do you typically think about everything you did wrong, or what you did well?
If you're like most of the athletes I've talked to and worked with, you probably naturally think about what you did wrong. Your mind sorts through all the mistakes you made.
Now, that's not a completely bad thing to do. The underlying idea as to why you're doing it is beneficial. However, the way you're going about it may actually be hurting you.
In fact, this seemingly small act you're doing could be causing enormous problems in your game. It may be the very reason you lack confidence, feel anxious and fearful during games, and aren’t enjoying your sport as much anymore.
In this episode, you're going to learn how identifying what you did wrong is hurting you, and a strategy you can use to productively evaluate your performance instead.

What Is Poor Focus?
Poor focus isn't about zoning out; it's about being stuck in the wrong kind of thoughts. It occurs when you can't control your attention during practices and games. Your focus, or lack thereof, is driven by your thoughts, and it's these thoughts that determine your focus.
For example, dwelling on past mistakes can hijack your focus, pulling you away from the present. Poor focus, in essence, is poor control over your own thinking. And this leads to unhelpful and sometimes even detrimental feelings and emotional states.
Main Ways Poor Focus Holds You Back
1.) Anxiety: If you're preoccupied with what might happen in the future, you're inviting anxiety into your game. Anxiety in sports revolves around worrying about the outcome, and this can only lead to further worry.
Playing with anxiety results in stiffness, tension, and suboptimal performance. It might even push you into a corner where you're desperately trying to will a certain outcome.
2.) Fear: Fear, stemming from thoughts about past or future mistakes, can cripple your performance. This fear often combines with anxiety, creating a vicious cycle of worrying about future mistakes, which leads to making those very mistakes.
Playing with fear also results in tentative, restrained play, as you become cautious due to the perceived risks.
3.) Distractions: Poor focus can make you susceptible to distractions from the environment – the opposing team, the crowd, field conditions, personal life, and more. These distractions can lead to careless mistakes and lower your overall performance.
For instance, imagine a basketball player at the free-throw line – crowd noise can significantly affect their focus. If they can tune out the distractions and focus on the basket and their shot, their chances of success increase.
Similarly, a softball pitcher might get distracted by the rain, leading to wild pitches and a drop in performance.

As an athlete, would you say you give more attention to the mental side of the game or the physical side of the game?
If you're like the majority of athletes, you give most of your attention to the physical side of the game. And that’s okay, and honestly expected.
I mean, the physical stuff is more in your face and tangible. It's easy to go practice your shooting form or take some cuts off the tee. It's much more difficult to train your confidence or work on your focus...or it at least seems that way.
With physical training being a lot more accessible, and focused on more during practices, it makes sense why athletes give more attention to it than the mental side of their game. But does that mean it's more important?
Absolutely not! Okay, so does that mean the mental side is more important? No, that's not what I'm saying either. In fact, I think looking at it this way is a problem in and of itself.
Instead of thinking the mental side of the game or the physical side of the game is more important, I want you to see both as equally vital ingredients to you reaching your potential as an athlete.

Article for building self-confidence in sports: https://www.successstartswithin.com/blog/how-to-be-a-more-confident-athlete
Video for building self-confidence in sports: https://youtu.be/VmkAbDJMQdk
Self-confidence in sports is best described by two words: belief and trust.
You must have the belief that you are highly skilled. That's the first part of it. There needs to be an understanding present that you have the physical skills needed to succeed.
Think of this as the foundation of your confidence. You cannot have the trust in yourself during games if you don't first have a strong belief in your skills.
One thing about true belief is that it's not dependent upon other people. You aren't comparing your skills to others, or needing your coach to tell you that you have high level skills.
You simply have the understanding and belief in your skills that they are good enough to succeed.
In addition to belief, self-confidence in sports involves trust. Think about this in terms of the trust you have in yourself to execute during a game.
When I'm working with an athlete, I'll often talk about the difference between confidence in understanding and confidence in execution. Confidence in understanding is a lot like belief. It means you understand that you are highly skilled.
But confidence in execution is where you have the trust in yourself that you can apply the skills you've worked hard for during games.
So with trust, think about application and execution during games.

Strong focus is a key characteristic of all high level athletes. To play your best, you need to be able to control your attention.
But this is not at all an easy thing to do. Which is one of the reasons it's so difficult for athletes to consistently compete at an elite level.
There are many distractions you face as an athlete, both internally and externally, that will work to destroy your focus. And more often than not, they'll succeed.
It can often feel like this happens at the worst possible moments, too. Like that crunch time play in a big game...the situation where you need the most focus is typically the situation where you lose your focus the easiest.
With focus being so critical to you as a player, what I'm going to do in this episode is break down the main distractions athletes face, along with some tips you can use if you struggle with staying focused during competition.

What would you say is the biggest mental block you face during games?
Do you worry about what’s going to happen? Do you think a lot about how you don't want to make a mistake? Do you spend a lot of time thinking about the other team or the official's call?
Do you know what all of the examples I just outlined have in common? None of them are 100% in your control.
When I'm working one-on-one with an athlete, the majority of the mental blocks we work through are caused by them focusing too much on things they can't control.
By getting them to focus more on what they can control, their mindset improves, and as a result, their performance level significantly increases.
The same will happen for you if you learn how to let go of what you can't control and put your energy towards what you can control. And that's exactly what I'm going to show you how to do by the end of this video.

The number one goal for young athletes should be to have fun.
Now I know that may not seem like a very competitive attitude to have, but in truth, it is. The reason being, athletes who enjoy themselves play better.
As a mental performance coach, I've worked with athletes as young as nine, all the way to the professional level. And this truth holds true no matter the athlete's age or skill level.
When an athlete has fun, they play better. When they're not having fun, they tend to play tight, have many negative and unhelpful thoughts, and overall their performance level drops.
But knowing that having fun is the most important goal for young athletes does not mean it's easy for them to have fun while playing.
There are many factors that can reduce the joy an athlete feels, sometimes even turning a sport they used to love into something they dread.
To help, in this podcast, I'm going to detail the main factors that lead young athletes to lose the love for the game, along with tips you can use as a parent or coach to help your young athlete enjoy themselves more while playing.

Dealing with pregame nerves is one of the most common reasons athletes work with me. These feelings of anxiety before competition can lead to you underperforming and being frustrated with your level of play.

I'm going to guess your worst games!
Here's the thing, pregame nerves can be helpful, as we'll talk more about in the article. But for the majority of athletes, these pregame nerves and feelings of anxiety do nothing but hold them back.
And if that's true for you, it's time to make a change!
With mental coaching, you will learn how to reduce pregame nerves and anxiety, allowing yourself to perform with confidence and up to your full potential.

The fear of failure is defined by being afraid of making mistakes. The young athlete is afraid of what may happen if they make a mistake or mess up during a game.
It's not the mistake itself they're necessarily afraid of, rather, it's what happens after the mistake.
If you've noticed that your young athlete is playing with a lot of fear, would you say they've looked nice and relaxed recently, or a bit more tense during games?
My guess is they look more tense. You may even say they look stiff or rigid. Definitely not as relaxed and free as they have in the past.
That's because the fear of failure causes young athletes to play tense and timidly. Since they're so focused on what they don't want to have happen, they'll play tight due to fear.
When an athlete plays tight and timidly, they are not able to play as freely as they need to and their performances will suffer.
One common theme among young athletes who are dealing with the fear of failure is that they'll play better in practices than games.
During practice they feel like it's okay to make mistakes. It's practice, mistakes are meant to happen. But come game time it's an entirely different story.
Mistakes now become something to fear. They hold much more consequence and can result in them getting yelled at, benched, or feeling embarrassed. As a result, the young athlete's focus will be on not messing up, instead of playing well.
By playing timidly, they actually increase their chances of making mistakes, leading to a vicious cycle of fear.
Which is why, if this is something your young athlete is struggling with, there are steps you can take to help them overcome this fear of failure and play freely.

Mental training is the practice of using sport psychology tools and techniques to strengthen an athlete's mental game.
With mental training for young athletes, the goal is to build a strong foundation of mental skills.
It's very similar to the approach taken to building physical skills.
When a kid takes up a sport, a good coach will evaluate where they are, looking for the strengths they already have and any weaknesses that may be present.
From that initial starting point, they will work on developing the young athlete's physical skills. This is done through drill work and continual focus on mechanics and the fundamentals of their game.
In a similar way, when a young athlete begins with mental training, the mental coach evaluates their current strengths and weaknesses and then moves forward from there.
To train and strengthen the mind, there are specific skills that are focused on.
The tools and techniques used within mental training focus on cultivating these specific skills. Because we know that as the skills develop, the young athlete's mindset is strengthened.

From an early age, athletes are taught the fundamentals of their sport. I can remember being in little league practice and having my coach drill us on the importance of the fundamentals.
That's because the fundamentals are the foundation for success in any sport. And the ones who reach an elite level do so because they do the small things well.
But the fundamentals that are focused on the most involve physical play. And that's extremely important. If a kid can't make a simple pass in basketball or throw the ball accurately in softball, they aren't likely going to get anywhere or have much fun.
Though in addition to learning the physical fundamentals of their sport, I believe young athletes should also learn the fundamentals of a strong mental game.
That's where young athlete mental training comes into play.
In this podcast, you will learn the 6 key fundamentals your young athlete needs to focus on to build a strong mental game.

In this podcast, you will learn pregame exercises you can use to reduce the fear of failure in sports!
When you go into a game afraid to fail, you’re more likely to play timidly and scared. You tiptoe around your performance, terrified of making even the slightest mistake.
But in order for you to perform your best, there needs to be a level of trust that is only present when you accept the possibility of failure, rather than having it be a point of fear.
Failing is scary, there is not denying that fact. It can mean embarrassment, the loss of a starting role, or you not attaining future goals.
However, failure is also a teacher. One that highlights areas of your game that need improvement.
Failure, much like all things in life, can be viewed in multiple ways. Fearing failure is one of the worst ways you adopt, but one that is very real for many athletes.
So, if you struggle with the fear of failure, don’t worry because you’re definitely not alone.
And by the end of this episode, you will have pregame exercises you can use to reduce fear of failure heading into competition.

In this podcast, you will learn the differences between a training and a performance mindset!
There are two different mindsets you need as an athlete: a training mindset and a performing mindset.
Both have equally important roles to play in your success. However, if you get the two confused this can quickly lead to trouble.
So much of performing has to do with your mental state. When your mind is being used to your advantage, tremendous amounts of potential are unlocked.
On the other hand, when your mind has become an obstacle, such potential remains hidden.
Which is why making a clear distinction between the two mindsets is crucial. Not only that, but you need to learn the keys to strengthening the mindsets moving forward. Both of which will be uncovered by the end of this episode.

In this episode, you will learn how to use visualization as an athlete!
Sports visualization is an incredible tool for athletes. The neural connections generated as you imagine yourself performing instill memory within your mind.
There are many ways you can go about utilizing visualization for athletic benefit. But, the four main areas I find most useful include visualization for handling pressure, relaxation, skill mastery, and injury recovery.
The first three steps will always be the same, working to get your mind and body in an optimal state to visualize. From there, the difference will be what you imagine and how it makes you feel.
Always remember to bring emotion into each scene!

In this episode, you will learn how to turn practice skills into game-time execution!
An incredibly frustrating situation to find yourself in as an athlete is seeing a disconnect between the level of your play in practices and games.
Over and over you think, scrutinizing and analyzing your mechanics, wondering what’s going wrong!
But here’s the truth…if you’re playing well in practice, it’s not your skills that are to blame. Your challenge is mental.
There are three main mental game challenges that lead to poor play during games: sports performance anxiety, fear of failure, and poor focus.
To overcome these challenges, your job is to work on cultivating stronger mental skills, such as confidence and control over your attention. The three mental game tools described in this article will help you do just that.
Pay attention to how you’re thinking, use mental rehearsal, and set performance objectives. That is a strong strategy to help you turn practice skills into game-time execution.
Self-Talk for Anxiety:
-Take a deep breath and stay calm.
-I trust in myself and my skills.
-I’ve got this. I’m prepared and excited to play.
-I can’t wait to play today!
Self-Talk for Fear:
-I am confident in my skills.
-Let go of the outcome and focus on the present.
-I’m going to have a great game.
-I know I’m a great player.
Self-Talk for Poor Focus:
-Stop and refocus.
-Be here.
-Focus on myself and my responsibilities.
-I can only control what I can control. Be present.

In this episode, you will learn how you can let go of mistakes during a game!
After you make a mistake during a game, you’re faced with two options: let the mistake go or hold on to it and carry it with you as the game goes on.
The easiest choice is the second one. But the helpful choice is the first.
If you don’t want to make a mistake again and again, you have to learn how to let it go. Now, of course, that’s a lot easier said than done. But with the help of a strategy, it’s possible.
What you want to do first is accept the mistake. I know, not the most attractive idea, but it’s necessary. Then ask yourself two consecutive questions: is this helpful and what would be helpful?
Those questions interrupt the pattern of negative thinking that occurs after a mistake and gets your mind focused on what you need to be focused on and doing to play your best moving forward.
Put this strategy into practice and begin working on building your ability to let go of mistakes during a game.

Learn how self-talk increases your performance as an athlete!
Emotions and actions stem from thoughts. When your thoughts go unchecked and uncontrolled, they can easily turn negative. Leading to a decrease in your performance, and frustration for yourself.
By taking control of your mind, through the use of self-talk, the opposite becomes true. You can actually use self-talk to increase your athletic performance.
Self-talk increases your confidence, improves focus, helps with your training, increases motivation, and reduces stress and anxiety. All of which lead to great levels of athletic performance for you.

You just made a mistake during a game, what do you do?
There are a lot of things you can do, but to keep it simple, you have two choices: let the mistake go, or get upset about it and carry it with you.
So, which do you typically choose?
I’m going to guess, based on the title of the article, you tend to choose option two. That’s okay, and honestly, the easier and more natural of the two choices. I mean, what athlete likes making a mistake?
It sucks!
But the problem is, you get upset because you made the mistake, but by getting upset, you raise your chances of making another mistake.
So, our aim isn’t to suddenly turn mistakes into something you love, but rather, to get you to respond to mistakes in a way that will increase your chances of playing well moving forward by decreasing the chances of you making a similar mistake again.
This isn’t easy and requires effort. But anything worth doing does. What I can tell you is that mistakes aren’t the problem. It’s your reaction to mistakes that presents a challenge.
So, to let go of mistakes during a game, you have to learn how to react differently to making mistakes.
In this podcast, mental game coach, Eli Straw, shows you a strategy you can use to let go of mistakes during a game.

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?

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.

An aggressive mindset seems like the best approach to take to a game.
After all, sports are a competitive environment, so going out there determined to destroy and dominate your opponent should set you up nicely to succeed.

Though, for some athletes, it does prove to be the optimal approach.
Your job is to decide for yourself, based on your own personality, if an aggressive mindset is right for you.
If it is, be sure to keep in mind the four key points outlined in this article to use this type of mindset in the best way possible.
In this video, mental game coach, Eli Straw, helps you identify the best mindset you need to compete as an athlete.

1-1 Mental Game Coaching: https://www.successstartswithin.com/mental-performance-coaching
Sport psychology is centered around the concept of self-optimization.
An athlete has the desire to be successful, and so there is a need for someone to help them in achieving that.
So, a mental performance coach steps in and teaches psychological skills that will help the client improve their performance.
Whether it’s online or in-person, a mental game coach will work one-on-one with an athlete to first identify the barriers that are keeping them from reaching peak performance.
Then, the mental game coach will devise a strategy to build skills and overcome the obstacles presented.
As you can see, employing the help of sport psychology can be of great benefit to anyone trying to reach a little higher in life and become a better version of themselves.

However, when this type of thinking is taken to the extreme, many negative consequences can arise.
This extreme obsession with doing your best is referred to as perfectionism and is a vicious cycle of never being satisfied.

Free training on how to compete with a championship mindset
The fear of failure is a terrible condition for any athlete to deal with. But I hope that upon watching this training you will understand that one, you are not alone, and two, it is possible to overcome it with the proper plan.
I truly believe that the three-step process I have outlined is one of the best ways to overcome fear of failure. You first must accept yourself and your fear, then define what is causing your fear, and finally implement the tools necessary to overcome the fear.
I can say from my own experience and that of the athletes I've worked with, that if followed, this process works effectively and will help you gain control over your mind and prepare yourself for the next time fear comes knocking.

Being consistent means having the ability to produce similar results over a long stretch, such as a season or a whole career. The reason consistent performers are highly desired is the predictability in their output.
Link to 1-1 Mental Game Coaching: https://www.successstartswithin.com/mental-performance-coaching
🤔 ABOUT THIS VIDEO 👇
Consistency is a highly sought attribute in any performer. Knowing an individual will likely produce typical results gives a coach confidence in putting them in the lineup. But worrying about consistency based on stats is the role of a coach, not a player.
If you want to be seen as consistent, you must change your perspective on what this term means. Learn to develop good habits and process goals that you trust will give you the best chance to succeed.
In doing so, you’ll be in a great position to have the label of consistent placed upon you by others.
This video goes into detail on the two different ways you can be a more consistent athlete!
