Athletes work hard in practice, putting in the time and the grind, but when it comes to game time, sometimes they miss the mark. They know theyre capable of more-and their coaches and trainers know it, too-but when the lights are on them, and the pressure rises, they often underperform. The truth is, physical training is only one part of any athletes game. The mental game is just as important, yet in young athletes, mindset is almost never a focus in development and practice-and its costing them results.In Playing in the Box, renowned sports psychologist Dr. Pete Temple describes how young athletes can use simple mental exercises to relax, improve, and achieve their goals on and off the field or court. If youve ever struggled in competition, Dr. Temples practical approach will help you develop confidence, drive, and resilience, so you can bounce back from setbacks, relax when the game gets tense, and reach your full potential.
