Are You Working Harder but Trusting Yourself Less?
You may feel prepared in training, then freeze, rush, or second-guess yourself when it counts. One mistake can start a mental replay about letting people down, losing your spot, or repeating the same error. Our guide to performance anxiety in athletes explains when useful pre-game activation begins disrupting focus, confidence, or recovery.
Therapy can help you understand the pattern and develop a more reliable response to pressure.
How Therapy Can Help Athletes Perform Under Pressure
Recognize the thoughts and physical cues that appear before anxiety takes over
Shift attention away from overthinking and back to the task in front of you
Respond to mistakes without carrying them into the next play or performance
Rebuild confidence during a slump or difficult season
Work with perfectionism and expectations that make every result feel high stakes
Strengthen emotion regulation so frustration or disappointment does not derail your reset
