    How to Enhance Focus, Motivation and Confidence

    Ensuring that your focus is placed on helpful things, that you stay motivated during difficult times and that your confidence levels remain steady and intact even when you lose form are seen as vitally important components being a top class athlete. In today’s episode, part 3 of David’s investigation into ChatGPT’s and its response to the question “What Can I Expect When Working With A Sport Psychologist” he goes on to share with you some helpful tools that you can help athletes in this context.  Key Learning Points: Enhancing focus is a skill that can be developed by understanding aspects that are out of your control and to be able to shift your attention purposefully on helpful things/processes that are within your control. A great question to aid your motivation is to go back to the question from time to time – Why do I play my sport? To maintain steady levels of confidence, recognising where you gain confidence from is key.

    Why Are The Sporting Goals That You Set Yourself Not Helping You

    In part 2 of David’s exploration surrounding ChatGPT’s and its response to the question What Can I Expect When Working With A Sport Psychologist, David explores the complexities of goal setting.  ChatGPT suggests setting SMART goals for performance and psychological well-being are part of working with a Sports Psychologist, which he is in agreement with. However, David points out that not all Sports Psychology practitioners are comfortable addressing psychological well-being. He goes on to emphasize the importance of goal ownership, discuss athlete’s tendencies to set goals, and the distinction between outcome, performance, and process goals as well as a lot more.  Key Learning Points: Goals are more powerful when they align with your personal core values. Management of the number of goals you set is important to avoid overwhelm. Tools such as the MTQ Plus (Mental Toughness Questionnaire) can assist Sports Psychologists and Coaches to recognise if athletes naturally set goals or not. An athlete who sets goals and an athlete who doesn’t set goals should be supported differently.

    What Can I Expect When Working With A Sport Psychologist – Part 1

    Today David starts the first of a series of episodes where he looks into ChatGPT’s explanations about the field of sport psychology and adds further detail to help inform you.   ChatGPT states “working with a sport psychologist can offer a range of benefits and experiences. Here’s what you might expect:  1. Assessment - Initial sessions often involve assessments to understand your mental skills, strengths, and areas for improvement.”  David goes on to add the following points to this explanation. Key Learning Points: When assessing a client needs it is important to consider a range of factors. One tool David uses is the Sport-Clinical Intake Protocol (SCIP) which helps practitioners gain extensive information about the client's life within and outside of their sport.  Factors that it takes into account include (1) the presenting problem, (2) life and athletic history, (3) social support, (4) health status, (5) important life events, (6) changes prior to the onset of the presenting problem, and (7) details of the presenting problem. David explains that quick fixes are not his preferred method and that to creating lasting change multiple sessions are required, varying in length and format depending on the client's needs and the sport.  He also highlights the importance of context and the flexibility required when working in team settings, such as football, cricket or rugby clubs, where interactions can be brief and informal on occasions.

    The “I MUST FEEL CONFIDENT” to perform well myth

    In episode 259 of the Demystifying Mental Toughness Podcast, David discusses why thinking that you must feel confident to perform well is unhelpful.  He uses getting in an ice bath as an analogy to illustrate the mindset of athletes who believe they must feel confident to perform well.  He argues that this belief is unrealistic due to the unpredictable nature of sports.  David references Novak Djokovic's admission of getting ahead of himself, highlighting that even top athletes experience doubts.  He emphasizes that emotions fluctuate, and athletes often have negative thoughts, with 80% of our daily thoughts being negative.   David concludes that acceptance of varying emotions and performance is crucial, as athletes can still excel despite feeling anxious or tired. Key Learning Points: Athletes have a tendency to draw on past experiences of feeling confident to predict future success. The average person has around 70,000-80,000 thoughts per day, with about 80% of them being negative, making it unrealistic to think positive all of the time. How many times have you played well after a poor warm up or following a disappointing last performance.

    Should I Change My Pre-Shot Routine To Get Better

    In episode 257 of the Demystifying Mental Toughness Podcast, David discusses pre-shot routines in sport. With an emphasis on golf, and the importance of a personalised routine to enhance performance. Key elements include the decision making process, assessing one's state of mind, taking practice swings in a purposeful way, visualizing the shot, focusing on the target, focusing your attention ahead of execution and the use of trigger words. Key Learning Points: Write down key steps of your personal pre-shot routine to improve your understanding. Routines need practice and rehearsal if you are going to take them into competitive environments successfully. Using trigger words that direct your attention towards timing can be beneficial like "smooth swing", "commit" or “trust” to enhance focus.  As humans we can get comfortable quickly therefore adjusting your approach from time to time is important to guard against complacency and to improve focus The approach discussed is applicable to various sports, not just golf.
