If this is your child’s first sports season, review
those areas where he or she struggles making progress outside of sports (school
work, chores, playing nice in the sandbox, etc). It usually involves a combination of these
seven mental roadblocks:
·
procrastination;
·
perfectionism;
·
fear of failure;
·
analysis paralysis;
·
limited comfort zone;
·
indecision; or
·
complacency.
Expect
to see these same mental roadblocks pop up in athletic development. Create a game plan to address these issues to
keep the athlete motivated.
