Sports Psychology Tips for Athletes: Sports Performance Anxiety

[0:00]Hi, I'm coach Jaclyn, a mental performance coach with Peak Performance Sports. If you want to manage your sport performance anxiety, here's what you do. Number one, figure out what's causing your anxiety. Are you afraid you won't perform well in front of scouts? Do you worry about making a big mistake? Are you worried about embarrassing yourself in front of others? Number two, ask yourself, is it reasonable for me to have this worry? The answer is no. And number three, distract yourself before game time. Listen to some music to help get you pumped up and ready to have fun.
