Attention can be destroyed by the wrong emotions

Published on June 29, 2015 in Allenatori, Calcio, Corsa, Generale, Giovani, Mental coaching, Olimpiadi, Stress, Tennis and Tiro a volo. 0 Comments Tags: attenzione, emozioni, presente, prestazione.

In any sport to be focused on the present is one of the key success factors and its main enemy are the emotions arising in the athletes’ mind to distract them from the performance.

Any young athlete who learned the necessary skills to be competitive at his/her sport level should devote much of the training to improve this competence to compete with a winning attitude.

Otherwise, the technique will not help anything, rather it will be a source of further frustration for the young athletes not able to use it in the race, because they are dominated by an emotional condition that hinders them.

If you want to be competitive you have to train vigorously your self-control, it’s the only way you can prove the fundamental value of the technical skills.

The 10 secrets of the excellent performances

Published on April 9, 2015 in Allenatori, Calcio, Corsa, Generale, Giovani, Mental coaching, Olimpiadi, Stress, Tennis and Tiro a volo. 0 Comments Tags: eccellenza, focus, prestazione, segreti.

Focus only on what you’re going to do.
It’s easy but it’s difficult to be persistent, you must practice
The focus is on the timing of the action and never on the technical issues
The performance takes place in a natural and automatic, not analytical
Delete mistakes returning each time with the mind to the timing of the next action
Deep breath to reduce excessive pressure
Pych-up to increase the useful tension to action
Visualize the performance to delete doubts and concerns
Have fun and pleasure for what you are doing
Use pauses to restore physical and mental energy for the next action

Why is self-control so difficult during the competition?

Published on February 9, 2015 in Allenatori, Generale, Giovani and Mental coaching. 0 Comments Tags: allenamento., auto-controllo, comportamento, emozioni, esperto, Pensieri, prestazione.

The self-control of the sports performance is a very difficult task even for the expert athletes.

But who can be defined as an expert? Who is able to effectively manage a sequence of increasing challenges in specific situations.

Self-control is based on the development of the self-regulation skills in three distinct areas:

behavioral self-regulation – the athletes act observing them-selves and strategically adjust their behaviors.It happens when an athlete misses a shot and decide what to do to correctl it in the next action,
environmental self-regulation – the athletes adapt them-selves to environmental conditions or outcomes. In shooting sports the athlete can change the lens color as a function of the light conditions or may take more time before the execution.
covert self-regulation – the athletea are aware of their cognitive and emotional processes and decide whether to persevere in those conditions or changing them. During the performance or training thoughts and emotions prepare the athlete to speak at his/her best or they can be a source of problems to solve.

The expert athlete must be accurate and consistent in performing these activities of self-regulation by monitoring in the same time the results of the performances, so as to be aware of what are the best conditions to compete effectively and increase self-confidence.
The mental coaching is the means by which to train these skills.

Be satisfied or pursue the excellence

Published on May 28, 2014 in Allenatori and Mental coaching. 0 Comments Tags: accontentarsi, llenza, prestazione.

The question of the intensity of the workout is always a hot topic in the training of athletes at international level. The question you should ask is “where I lose intensity?”" Earlier, during or at the end of my performance? It’s on the basis of this assessment that the training should be modified. Many athletes instead suffer this deterioration of the performance, saying: “I missed just a little to win.” Do not ask instead how to change the training to eliminate this problem. At wich category you belong as athlete or coach, to those who arehappy to be good or to those who seek the best for them?

In shooting sports the athlete’s mood determines the performance

Published on March 10, 2014 in Giovani, Mental coaching, Stress and Tiro a volo. 0 Comments Tags: calma, fiducia, giovani, prestazione, tiro a volo, umore.

The last two Sundays I have been with shooters, 16/19 years old, and I realized again how important it’s for them even in training to be supported by a calm and peaceful mood. Trap shooting is a sport that requires before shooting a condition of total concentration followed soon after by a period of relaxation and waiting for about 40 seconds before the next shot. This psychological situation is repeated 25 times, which is the number of shots for each round. The confidence to perform effectively the shot and as a result to hit the target, is based on a mental state of calm that when it fails opens the door for a thousand doubts that hinder the performance. To these young athletes is then required to be 25 times in this state of mind, and especially after having made a mistake it’s not easy to push away the critical thoughts that appear and getting focused on the next shot. Perform this task, to quickly find serenity after an error is an exercise that educates their mind to react more positively otherwise there would be a very real possibility of committing right after another. Thing that can happen on the other hand, as it is impossible not to make mistakes. So this exercise, to relax and focus, must be performed each time, knowing that in any case some plate will not be equally hit, who is more constant in this exercise will improve more quickly than others. In this way the shooters train them to maintain a calm and peaceful mood with the awareness that it’s the basis of the confidence of knowing how to hit the next target.

Self-esteem, performance and training

Published on February 19, 2014 in Allenatori and Stress. 0 Comments Tags: allenamto, ansia, autostima, prestazione.

Every day I realize more and more how the self-esteem of the athletes is challenge during the races. It happens for the high expectations that those who have high commitment have toward their performances. This does not mean that athletes are individuals with a low level of self-esteem. The situations they face require they test every time the will to do their best. Only the musicians live in situations of this kind or students who want to excel. If these are the circumstances that athletes have to face, it’s necessary that the daily workout is different than in the past, because it’s one thing is to learn/improve the technique, but something very different is knowing replicate during competitions, when the emotional tension can destroy even the best coaching. Are the coaches aware of this difference and are the athletes willing to get more involved ?

Consciouness is the first step of mental coaching

Published on February 12, 2014 in Generale, Mental coaching and Stress. 0 Comments Tags: consapevolezza, Jack Korfield, mental coaching, prestazione, Thich Nhat Hanh.

The awareness can be defined as the “miracle that, in a heartbeat, draws our mind and reassemble it, allowing us to live every moment of our lives” (Thich Nhat Hanh). Jack Kornfield has described it as “the innate human ability to deliberately pay full attention to the situation in which we find ourselves, to our practical experiences, and learn from them.”

Awareness is the basis of mental coaching, maximize learning and improve performance requires an understanding of ourselves and the emotions that underlie it. The consciousness of this moment is specific to each activity and determines the condition of readiness for action: a global psycho-physical state, involving what is going to happen, that is the performance.

Sports are tough games

More events lost than won – always fight
Failure + Frustration are part of the game
A lot of time to think: Boredom and worries
3 or 4 moments become critical in every competitions
Control of performance processes not the results
Athletes must be focus to win/perform/learn

The Guardiola’s rule: make a mistake to learn

Published on July 6, 2013 in Allenatori, Calcio and Tennis. 0 Comments Tags: Bayern, Guardiola, imparare, leader, prestazione, sbagliare.

A leader is also recognized by the sentences that he says to his players. Guardiola, new coach of Bayern, said “We hope to make many mistakes so we learn immediately.” Do not be afraid of making mistakes is the attitude of the leader who has a winning mind, because what it is really important is not to pursue the perfect performance but how you react quickly to the mistakes.
