Performance stress: when positive and when negative

During the Games to talk about stress performance means to understand the attitudes and expectations of all young people who are there in London committed to achieving their goals. The trap into which they can fall is to have their mind prisoner of the result to be achieved: win, podium, improve personal record or qualify for the next phase. Focus on the result to be achieved is the biggest mistake they can make, especially because it is not in the power of any person. The result is the effect of performance and this depends entirely on the athlete. No one can decide to win, everyone can decide to do their best. The first attitude creates an uncontrollable stress,while the second determines the degree of stress that is for everyone to give their best. Having this attitude oriented to stay focused on performance rather than the result is an essential step for anyone who wants to compete successfully. Otherwise the risk is not being able to compete at own level. The mental training is the way to learn how to develop this attitude effectively.
