Make Your Next Play Your Best Play

One of the biggest mistakes young athletes make is that they let one play linger on too long in their minds, and it affects their play.

We have to be able to move on to the next play. The next play is always the most important play, and if you aren't able to move on to the next play, your game suffers and it hurts your team.

Don't let the last play affect you longer than it should. It could be a good play or a bad play. Athletes have to be able to move on to the next play. Nobody really cares about what happened. They need to care about what is happening. 

Each new play is a new opportunity to do something special.

Don't let the past keep you from doing something special now.

Here are 6 questions that you can ask yourself (or your athlete) to help them stay present and in the moment:

1 - What am I doing right now?

2 - What am I supposed to be doing right now?

3 - What is my job?

4 - What is the most important thing to do right now?

5 - Where do I need to be right now?

6 - What does my team need me to do right now?
