COACHING FOCUS
PREPPING
Coaching athletes
to keep calm
under pressure
By Jeff Janssen, contributing writer
D
oes your team tend to
self-destruct during
late-game, highpressure
situations? Do you have
athletes who mentally shortcircuit
under pressure? Does your
game plan and the things you
worked on all week in practice go
out the window when your
players are under stress?
As humans, stress and pressure
can cause us to do some strange
and unusual things. Too much
stress hurts your athletes
physically with tight muscles, a
loss of coordination, shallow
breathing, rapid heart rates and
excessive sweating, and it also
scrambles your players' brains.
Athletes under stress have a
hard time tuning into your
coaching, processing what you
ask them to do and executing
their roles and responsibilities.
They have trouble focusing on the
task at hand, making smart
decisions and feel overwhelmed,
confused and harried. It's no
wonder the breakdowns during
crunch time often are the result of
mental breakdowns and not
physical ones.
