  <description>Constant inward pressure can create a cycle of negative reinforcement. If you repeatedly underperform in sport due to stress and self-doubt, your confidence erodes. You will begin to expect failure, which further amplifies nervousness and makes it even harder to perform at your best.

To break free from the negative effects of inward pressure, you have to shift your mindset. 
And how will you do that?
In this episode The Inner Struggle: How Inward Pressure Leads to Sports Failure the good news is that to build confidence and let go of inward pressure is a skill that can be developed and strengthened so you want to think of it as a set of skills and habits that can be developed with intention and practice. 
What you will discover in this episode are:
1.How the use of physical and verbal cues are used to elevate you to better competition performance.
2.What type of verbal cues to use that will help you reset and refocus to reduce the overthinking.
3.Why simple physical cues are powerful because they help to reinforce technique and composure.
4.Four action steps on how to implement both simple and effective physical and verbal cues into your game so that you can take back the control.
Inward pressure is inevitable in sports, but it doesn’t have to control you. Instead of fearing it, you can sharpen your mental game, strengthen your resilience, and prepare yourself to face it head-on. With the right mindset and training, pressure becomes a challenge to conquer rather than a force that holds you back.
Are you ready to dive into this episode on The Inner Struggle: How Inward Pressure Leads to Sports Failure?
Hit play because these simple yet powerful physical and verbal cues are more than reminders, they are tools for mastering the mental game. By combining concise verbal prompts with purposeful physical rituals, you can transform that inward pressure ensuring you execute your skills with clarity and confidence when it matters most.

  <description>When we feel anxious about our sports performance it affects everything we do and how we feel.
I was watching a segment on 60 minutes recently and the reporter said that anxiety affects one in every four people. That's a troubling statistic.
What is anxiety?
Anxiety is characterized by a negative emotional state such as nervousness, worry and apprehension. Even though anxiety can be seen as a negative emotional state it does not necessarily mean that you will perform badly in your sport. Some athletes thrive under pressure they feel.
And that's what we want to do, we want to Thrive Under Pressure not Dive Under Pressure.
In this episode we craft three strategies to help you deal with anxiety in your sport.
1. Breathing Mantra
2. One Shot At  A Time
3. Creating Routines
These are explained in much greater depth in this episode. Get out your notebook, take notes and starting crafting these three strategies to help you deal with anxiety in your sport.
Have an absolutely awesome day and remember, Dream Big, Believe In You &amp;amp; Go After Your Dreams.
To your abundance,
Tiffany Mika
