It is important for teams to prepare their mental game skills for competition. That means warming up their minds by working on their focus and confidence. Athletes can do this by using a pregame or pre-competition warm-up routine to boost their confidence and focus.
Athletes at every level use routines or rituals to improve their focus and confidence before a game. It’s important for them to have a good mindset before they compete. Here is how to help your players warm up mentally:
1. Remind athletes proactively boost their confidence.
2. Remind them that mental game warm-ups are just as important as physical warm-ups.
3. Remind them to trust in their training.
