Self-Evaluation time:”Sometimes we are too hard on ourselves and criticize our mistakes to an unhelpful degree. Sometimes we are too easy on ourselves and let excuses run our lives.
Which way are you leaning right now? How can you pull yourself back to center?"

Positive self talk allows athletes to be more focused and relaxed. When your thoughts are negative, your performance takes a dive. Build yourself up with positive talk and you’ll be able to reach success #WellUApp#MentalTraining#SportPsych
We can at times get stuck in a negative thought patterns which leads us to an unhealthy consequence of negative beliefs about ourselves. One thing we can do is shift our thoughts to a more positive side after an unwanted event happens

Often times athletes reflect on the mistakes of their past performances to look for improvement. As helpful as that can be at times, athletes need to also reflect on and praise their efforts for what they know leads to successes #WellUApp#SportPsych#MentalTraining
People often ask me, “why don’t you use the title Sport Psychologist even though your degree says “Sport Psychology”?
Fair question 😅
In order to use the title “Sport Psychologist”, someone must be a licensed psychologist & have training in Sport Psychology.

How are you preparing to win in your sport? Every sport has you put in the work physically but are you also putting in the work mentally?

Breaking down your confidence into these three areas can help you reach peak performance:
-you're a person first, athlete second
-"I am my sport mindset" can cause your consistency suffer
-build on the specific skills you need to improve

Mental skills coaches help Olympians get into the ideal head space to compete—and I was privileged to hang out with a few (virtually, at least). Thanks to @juliacalderone for helping bring this into the world! nytimes.com/2021/08/05/wel…
An Athletic Coach for the Mind?
Many Olympic Teams have one and USA Water Polo is no different. Mental Skills Coach and former National Team athlete Brian Alexander (@BA_Pos_Mind) has been helping the Team USA Men in this area for years.

Has it been weird watching the Olympics with no fans? Now think about it from the athletes point of view. @BA_Pos_Mind takes us for an inside look at the mental skills training used to help @USAWP stay on top of their game. @WellUApp
