I don't have the skill yet but I'm working on it, how can I be confident

Hi coach ,I don't have the skill but I'm working on it how can I be confident

It helpede a lot for finding my peak mimdset. Thanks ❤

This video is incredibly helpful for ALL sports. I do fencing and I've been winning my previous tournaments. In my last one, I did really bad and was extremely frustrated with myself, as well as very disappointed. This video helped me realize why I did good in the tournaments that I won. It's because before those tournaments, I didn't have expectations for myself (those were my first good tournaments). I was fencing for fun, not to win. When I started worrying about my performance, I did relatively worse.

I play in a pool league and mistakes definitely can cause sudden anxiety issues. I've been working my butt off to improve my stroke, position play, decision making, etc., to help stop making costly mistakes. The other night I played a guy in 8-ball, I needed 4 games to win the match, he needed 5. I could really tell that my practice had been paying off. I was playing really well and had him down 3-2, which put me on "the hill" needing only one more game to win the match. I was carefully working my way around the table and finally ended up in perfect position to make the final 8-ball. Well, (I thought) I took my time, went through my pre-shot routine, took two perfect practice strokes and proceeded to miss the pocket completely. My opponent then finally found his stroke (about the time mine was falling apart) and took that game plus the next two to win the match. I didn't play that poorly after that, but he started shooting "lights out" and I never really got the chance to retake control. That one unfocused shot threw him the lifeline he needed to win. Yeah, that hurt so bad I lost sleep that night and was worthless the next day. So, lesson learned, and I'll try to do better next time.

Greatest video I have ever seen about self talk.🔥🔥🔥

Thanks for this 🙏✨

Great

I know that feeling 100%. Bad call, game interruption, opponent moon balling non-stop. Nightmare. Especially when trying to close. Got derailed during tennis matches… Became hyper-focus on outside stimulation which made my game sour… So much, I couldn’t stand being on the court any longer. I was facing my inner dragon 🐉and couldn’t find a way to ignore it at that specific moment. Is that ego? Thanks for sharing this video.

Great angle! Thank you! 🙌🏼

Thanks Eli! Great work.

Improving for yourself. Trust your training. 👍🏼 Thanks 🙏

Intention without tension. Good point sir.

Bro your videos are dead on !!! Thanks so much!!!

Greetings from 🇨🇦 How about listening to music ?

never thought about giving the same love to mistakes for improving, and to success for confidence. Makes so much sense. Thank you for sharing.

Just coming off a bad practice and I’m really appreciating this

Great content, coach! Thanks for the insight.

fantastinating video

This was such a well-thought-out and valuable tutorial, thank you.

I’ve gained so much value from this tutorial, I’m truly grateful.

Please make a video on catastrophic thoughts

I’ve had a challenging period of late with losses and this is a huge help. Thank you. I’ve been focussing a lot on winning which is def counterproductive.

Been my biggest downfall lately. Thank you. You were saying stuff like you living in my head.

Thanks Eli!

wonderful, love video

Please make a video on negative self thoughts

Please make a video on negative self talk

Agreed but before he does that he must have a way to trigger his mind back in the present. And before that being able to get in the right mindset pregame is imperative which then influences mindset in game

How do I get those around me to understand what I’m going through? I often struggle more when my coaches or teammates get frustrated with my wild throws, but I feel silly when I try to explain what’s going on.

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Hi

Hey, can you make a video highlightng the effects of "brain-rot" on an athlete?

Thank you. I've been consuming your content on the Spotify platform - took on the challenge to change my way of thinking. Every day spending time on mindfull meditation, and visualization last 5-6 months. Last week I had competiton on national level and ALREADY my scores improved. Thank you for your hard work, for sharing knowledge and showing the way for athletes who seek improvement.
