Most of us have heard the line, "We have met the enemy, and the enemy is us." Our staff is making a conscious effort to work with out players to conquer the anxiety monster. Below are a few thoughts that we are working off of :
- How do they react under pressure? Their core personality wants to take over under pressure.
- Everyone deals with the anxiety monster.
- The anxiety monster whispers different things to different people.
- To be effective as coaches--we must deal with the anxiety monster and know what motivational buttons to push.
- Part of the anxiety monster is to figure out how each player learns.
- Can't always motivate the way we are motivated.
- Understand that there is no "right or wrong" personality. Everyone is wired differently.
- Anxiety resides in one of two places--The Future or The Past
