I was struggling with confidence and self-belief, and I wasn't playing at my optimal; I knew I had more in me and I wanted to be the best I could be. If I made just one mistake I would lose my focus and struggle to recover. My coach suggested I look into working on my mental game and that's when I reached out for support. Working with a Mental Performance Consultant helped me increase my confidence level so that I was able to relax and play to my potential while coaches and scouts were watching. I learned to use imagery and to go through all the possible scenarios in my mind before performances, which helped me perform at the highest level possible. I didn't realize how much I was holding myself back until I was taught techniques to erase errors from my mind and move on to the next play. The biggest benefit of all was that I was able to transfer the mental skills I developed for my sport into my everyday life. I learned relaxation techniques to help me calm down before tests and to not get so anxious, and I used imagery to prepare for exams.
