5 Performance-Killing Habits Athletes Must Stop Now!

[@_RonoXGOAT]

This literally the best channel you can watch if you’re gonna waste time on screens this man’s channel completely makes your mindset so much better. How is this guy so underrated

[@SamMartinPeakPerformance]

Appreciate the support bro 🙌 I always hope the videos are more valuable than most other content out there!

[@h.l.4798]

i find it great that not only do you tell us what the bad habits are, but you actually give solutions as opposed to just letting us figure it out ourselves

[@SamMartinPeakPerformance]

Thanks for noticing. Wouldn't really be helpful if I just pointed stuff out and gave no advice on how to deal with them 😅

[@nlplfish2822]

I don't understand why this channel isn't more famous This channel has helped me change my mentality for the better

[@SamMartinPeakPerformance]

Glad to hear that bro - keep working on your mind 🧠💪

Sam your content is so precious for me. I'm still thinking of how blessed I was when I first saw one of your videos.

[@SamMartinPeakPerformance]

Hope they continue to help you on your journey 💪

[@millertime6178]

I’m a terrible athlete but I love playing sports. I was an athlete that peaked in HS dropped out of college and all this time I thought it was cause I sucked I couldn’t be mentally prepared for a bad game it was so defeating when someone would say anything negative about me when there was trash talk I’d talk it personally I was good till I wasn’t. And yes I had at least a few of those performance killers especially after HS

[@letsplaysoccer1338]

My favorite channel out right now bro 🤞🏿🤞🏿

[@SamMartinPeakPerformance]

Hope to keep it that way 😅

[@jurgenforster8314]

I have been quietly taking in your content and sharing with friends and family. Your videos are contributing factors that make me better compared to the previous day's version of myself. Thank you!

[@SamMartinPeakPerformance]

Wow, thank you! Keep growing each day Jurgen 💪

[@Fahim_Lalani]

I love your positive advice ❤thx bro 😎 you are the best

[@JJ-ldn]

I'm only 14 but you are such a help to for to become a better "professional" thank you ❤😊

[@SamMartinPeakPerformance]

Awesome you're working on your mentality at such a young age 👍🧠

[@JJ-ldn]

Thanks Sam 😊

[@23nxss]

Can’t stop watching this guy ong

[@SamMartinPeakPerformance]

Appreciate it bro 🤝

[@eziisreal]

I feel like the main character syndrome is a huge one, it can ruin a lot of great connections in team sports especially if you start blaming teammates it makes you very very unlikable. Another thing i would like to say to anyone reading this is that THERE IS TIME FOR EVERYTHING. Like what you said about video games, sam is not saying "never play videos games ever" he is saying that you should keep the amount of time you play in check so it does not affect your performance and health. Great video ❤.

[@SamMartinPeakPerformance]

Absolutely! All of these things on their own and in small doses may not actually be harmful and sometimes can be helpful. A few hours of videogames throughout the week is not a problem. But if it's 5/6 hours a night and ruining your sleep then that's when it becomes a problem! Thanks for drawing attention to this 👍

[@JJ-ldn]

Best athlete channel on yt

[@SamMartinPeakPerformance]

That's a bold statement 😅

[@JJ-ldn]

[@EssA_EST]

Great video. the first two tips are great for anyone one who wants to be a better team leader. Very helpful video in general, thanks man

[@SamMartinPeakPerformance]

For sure! I think a lot of these cross over to a lot of other area. As ever, thanks for watching

[@EssA_EST]

@@SamMartinPeakPerformance Sam, I've just finished signing up to your website. I'm excited about that

[@dangerbuffbros253]

Goated video. I found myself doing a few of these things. Im going to be more aware now. Thanks

[@SamMartinPeakPerformance]

All very easy to fall into the trap of so don't worry. Hope this helps you get back on track 👍

[@dangerbuffbros253]

Bro honestly you are the best at this. If I might ask, why didn’t you go professional with this wisdom? Not your hopes and dreams?

[@SamMartinPeakPerformance]

@@dangerbuffbros253 I ended up learning a lot of this stuff when it was too late for me. Hoping the channel can give people the info I needed when I was younger

[@AlessandroFootball]

These videos are class

[@SamMartinPeakPerformance]

Thanks bro 🤝

[@mattcheese2211]

[@SamMartinPeakPerformance]

Will always be doing the Sunday videos and then trying to sneak in a mid-week one when I have the time 😅

[@jeffreymccready5195]

Nice one Sam, I’ve observed them all!

[@SamMartinPeakPerformance]

Thanks Jeffrey - which do you think is most common? 🤔

[@jeffreymccready5195]

@@SamMartinPeakPerformance in my own sport (Olympic shooting) without question it’s number 5. It is improving, however it’s still endemic.

[@davidpun01]

Great Video.This is really helpful. Thank you ❤❤ Any books you would recommend to read for young athletes?

[@SamMartinPeakPerformance]

Couple of good ones are "The Chimp Paradox" by Steve Peters and also "The Pressure Principle" by Dave Alred

[@minil539]

Can you make a video about how to think in a pressurised situation..

[@SamMartinPeakPerformance]

Thanks for the recommendation. Will look into it

[@jamesellis1450]

[@sanskarsah184]

Can you please make a video on how to play through insticts

[@SamMartinPeakPerformance]

I'll look into it. Thanks for the suggestion

[@SamMartinPeakPerformance]

what habit are you guilty of engaging in? ⬇

[@martintielemans]

Self sabotaging and not willingly to face up the problem

[@_RonoXGOAT]

Complaining For Sure A Lot Like Bruno Fernandes

[@LolLeroy]

Main character syndrome👌

[@Dolfy1730bs]

Poor relationships with this girl is the worst one for me 😂

[@SamMartinPeakPerformance]

Baha dangerous one for sure 😅

[@patrickweah8973]

Hey brother I’m a professional footballer in mls Is there a way I can chat to you I have questions

[@SamMartinPeakPerformance]

Hey man, thanks for asking. The link to my website is in the video description. I also have an email address in the about section on my youtube page 👍

[@spayer5817]

Kyrie bro smh

[@SamMartinPeakPerformance]

😅

[@bengoman3447]

Ok I absolutely love your channel but the Bruno take is horrendous, he's fantastic as a player, but does complain a lot and is a bit embarassing to have on your team. But I wouldn't say he's average, his output has been insane and still is unreal

[@SamMartinPeakPerformance]

How? The point is, he's been average compared to his first 18 months at the club (his own standards). So many Utd fans I know have this take; he's not really improved. And the numbers don't lie - his first 18 months at Utd = 40 goals in 80 games. And then the last 2 years = 24 goals in 105 games 🤷‍♂ I know numbers don't paint the whole story. But c'mon, he's barely improved in over 2 years, which considering the age he's at should definitely not be the case. Imagine his numbers if he spent all that energy complaining more productively 😅

[@bengoman3447]

Fair, but hes still a top player, the complaining certainly doesn't help him@@SamMartinPeakPerformance

[@SamMartinPeakPerformance]

@@bengoman3447 he is 💯 a top player for sure. And I hope this season he sorts it out and starts putting up numbers worthy of his ability

[@Palmtree12351]

Hey Sam I love your videos I’m honestly getting so inspired everyday. Just got one question do u have an instagram account ? Would love to follow you Keep up the best channel on KZbin ❤️

[@SamMartinPeakPerformance]

Hi Lucas, thanks a lot. Currently I don't have an instagram as I just want to focus my efforts on one platform. I do send out a weekly email newsletter though if you want more content/performance tips - link is on my channel page
