Think like an athlete!

Attitude: Develop a positive attitude and view sport as an

opportunity to compete against yourself and learn from your successes and failures

Motivation: Have the motivation to be able to persist

through difficult tasks and difficult times to ensure the rewards and benefits are achieved

Goals and Commitment: Set long-term and short-term

goals that are realistic, measurable, and time-oriented. Stay committed to these goals

People Skills: Realise that you are part of a larger system

that includes their families, friends, team-mates, coaches, opponents etc. and have the ability to deal with them

Self-Talk: Maintain their self-confidence during difficult

times with realistic, positive self-talk

Mental Imagery: Prepare for competition by imagining

yourself performing well in competition, preparing for action and recovering from errors

Dealing Effectively with Anxiety: Accept anxiety as part of

sport and realise it can help but know how to reduce the negative effects

Dealing Effectively with Emotions: Accept strong emo-

tions such as excitement, anger, and disappointment as part of the sport experience and use them to improve rather than restrict performance.

Concentration: Learn how to maintain focus and resist

distractions, whether they come from the environment or from within themselves
