Big game nerves make everything feel new.⁣
⁣
Look again: same ball, same feel, same court. You still pass the same way. You still play defense the same way. The only thing that changes is what you choose to believe. That’s how you handle pressure in sports. ⁣

Low on sports confidence before a big game? Pull your receipts.⁣
⁣
A receipt is proof you’ve done it in practice, proof you’ve done it in games, maybe a hundred times over. Hype you don’t believe won’t last. Proof does. Reps over hype.⁣

Stop telling yourself, “Don’t mess up.” ⁣
⁣
Your brain hears “mess up” and starts picturing it. Give your brain a job to do. ⁣
“Make the simple play.” ⁣
“Make the sprint.”⁣
“Talk.” ⁣
⁣
Positive self-talk tells you what to do.⁣

Is your heart pounding before a game? Gooooood, don’t fight it.⁣
⁣
Fighting your nerves makes them LOUDER, makes them more pronounced, makes them harder to deal with. Here’s what I want you to do: name it instead. “My heart’s pounding. Good, I got butterflies. Great. This is how I deal with the big moment. This is how I deal with my nerves. I’m ready.”⁣

What should you say to yourself before a big game?⁣
⁣
A college athlete sent me this exact question: “Run, tryouts, her first start ever.” Guess what? It doesn’t really matter if you’re 8 and you’re doing your first swim meet ever, if you’re 17 playing for states, or if you’re 50 running a marathon. At some point in time you probably felt this too.⁣

This series here gives you the self-talk for each moment. Full 7-minute breakdown video pinned here to my profile. Check it out ⁣

Big Day, Big Game, What do you say to yourself?⁣
⁣
A college athlete sent me this question, asked about:⁣
Run test. ⁣
Tryouts. ⁣
Her first start ever.⁣
⁣
This is my full answer. ⁣
Why “calm down” doesn’t work. ⁣
How to name your nerves. ⁣
How to pull your receipts. ⁣
And the 3-step pressure reset: Recognize. Reframe. Execute.⁣
⁣
Save this, if you need this, before your next big moment. ⁣
⁣
Send it to a teammate who needs it.⁣

56 hours for sleeping.⁣
⁣
30 for school.⁣
⁣
82 left over.⁣
⁣
If you can’t find 3-5 hours a day to work on your game, the problem isn’t your schedule. It’s your priorities.⁣
⁣
Field hockey. Lacrosse. Volleyball. Basketball. Golf. Soccer. And more. Same grind, different sport — bigger people come out the other side.⁣

• Parents, I got you covered as well - you’ll be equipped for that ride home or that post game conversation ⁣
