Dan Skuta,
former Jacksonville Jaguars linebacker, knows the mental side of sports matters
just as much as the physical.
As a professional football player for more than
nine seasons, Daniel Skuta shares the following performance psychology tips below
that will help you ready for your next game.
Talk to Yourself
Even though
everyone has an internal monologue, an athlete's inner monologue can help
improve athletic performance. An athlete's inner monologue encourages them to
keep going throughout every game they play. Keeping your inner monologue
positive is one of the best ways to keep yourself pumped, focused, and
motivated.
Have a Routine
Sports are
exciting because of the uncertainty before every game. However, that
uncertainty can stress an athlete out. Routines allow you to dominate and
control at key points in the game, calming you and helping you play to your
ultimate potential.
