Mental Toughness for Figure Skaters: Sport Psychology Tip

Are you confident in your practice routines, but then lose confidence when you go into competition? In this mental training video, you learn how to have the right mindset for competition. Here's the question Dr. Patrick Cohn answers in this sports psychology video: "Right before a big competition or skating test I doubt my skills and imagine the worst possible outcome will happen. I have a hard time monitoring my self-talk and trusting my skills. Sometimes I get into a drowsy, almost like tired state that is hard to break out of. Thus, I don't have the energy and spunk. Why am I not more mentally tough leading up to my skating competitions and tests?" #figureskating #sportsconfidence

wow you used the philippines sm ice skating rink backround.

[@frozenicestar7293]

Thank you

Patrick, are you certain Vickie's anxiety stems from focus on the aftermath of the competition? Perhaps she's afraid of falling on the ice which can lead to self-consciousness which can pull focus away from what she is supposed to be doing (competing, performing) and lead to all sorts of performance issues - rushing, forgetting where you are in the music (aka blanking) -these are the sort of things some worry about because they are real, you fall and your attention gets diverted. how do you get the focus back immediately after a fall so you can get back into the program?

[@micaylapang6956]

This is exactly what happens to me and I’m not sure how to manage it. :( in Stead of focusing on enjoying and performing I focus too much on falling and messing up and afterwards I always regret it and want to do it again because I want to enjoy performing

Whenever I compete I feel nervous about my competitors I don’t focas and I don’t skate my best
