Tiffany Mika — Tue, 21 May 2019 06:00:00 +1000

In the previous episode you had to write out in detail, yes identify why you are terrified of losing in your sport.

What did you come up with?

You may have come up with reasons such as;

worried about looking like an idiot
worried about what your peers, parents of coach thought of you if you lost
worried about looking like you can't play
felt embarrassed if you lost to an opponent you shouldn't have lost to
you work so hard, but you can't understand why you keep losing, the harder you work the worse you get
all you want to do is to be a professional athlete but you can't see yourself there because you are losing
you don't want to play bad and so on...

Doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result will not change the result.

In order for you to change the result... you need a new strategy because the one you are using is not working.

**Let's now pinpoint what is going on in your games/competitions/tournaments.

1. What are you focusing on when you are playing? (answer in detail)
2. Why are you focusing on what you can't do? (answer in detail)

These 2 following questions reflect what we discovered in this particular area we were questioning.
Make sure you listen to the episode so you know what I am talking about here.

**3. What can you do to help you focus?

What can you do to cope with pressure?**

This is to establish your new strategy... and now it's time to get to work.

Have an absolutely awesome day and remember, Dream Big, Believe In You & Go After Your Dreams.

To your abundance,

Are You Terrified Of Losing Part 1

Tiffany Mika — Thu, 16 May 2019 15:00:00 +1000

Being terrified of losing can be detrimental to your sport and will hinder your performance, because you will never play to the level you know you are capable of unless you know how to overcome it.

Consider this question...

Why Are You Terrified Of Losing?

maybe you will be embarrassed if you lose
you don't think you are good enough and when you lose you say to yourself 'see I told you so'
worried about what your parents will say after they have invested so much time and money into you and your sport
you may feel guilty because you are not winning and you feel as though you are letting them down

There can be a number of reasons.

But how do we overcome it?

This will be covered in detail here how to overcome it but here are the steps below to pinpoint what is actually happening.

Step 1 - Awareness - be aware of what is going on for you when you are playing.
Step 2 - Acknowledge - acknowledge that there is a problem.
Step 3 - Ask this question, Why Am I Terrified Of Losing? (write out the answer in detail)

Once we have identified why you are so terrified of losing, then we can work on what the strategies are that we can put in place. That will be coming in Part 2!

Have an absolutely awesome day and remember, Dream Big, Believe In You & Go After Your Dreams.

To your abundance,

Are You Frightened Of Losing?

Tiffany Mika — Thu, 09 May 2019 16:00:00 +1000

When it comes to playing your sport, are you frightened of losing your games, your matches, your competitions and in your tournaments?

There could be a combination of reasons why you are frightened of losing, such as;

letting the team down
letting others down who are relying on you
letting your parents or relatives down
letting the coach down
don't want to look like an idiot
don't want to look like you can't play
you will find it embarrassing
you are not good enough
you don't want to be beaten
you are not popular when you lose

But other than how you feel... how good are you at:

your sport?
how good are your sports skills?
how fast are you?
do you have the mental and physical stamina to get through?
are you agile?
how well do you perform in training and on game day?
how well do you handle pressure?

If all of your energy is focused on not losing... you will lose because you are not focused on what you must be doing versus worrying about losing.

Your focus is to begin working on your plan. Get this right, it's an essential part to begin working on.

What skills must you master?
What does your fitness level need to be at?
What type of food should you be consuming to perform at your best?
What performance level must you be at in training and on game day?
What will you do to handle pressure?

It's time to identify why you are frightened then how you will put these first steps in place?

Have an absolutely awesome day and remember, Dream Big, Believe In You & Go After Your Dreams.
