Sport Psychology Toolbox - 27

The ability to reset (and refocus)

Last week, we spoke about focus and the ability to shift focus.

What is needed to be able to refocus is to reset.

The ability to reset probably looks/feels different in different sports.

There's fast moving sports, I.e. a lot of teamsports where resetting and refocusing after a run of bad passes or shots needs to happen quite quickly. Recognising what the setbacks make you think and feel that gets in the way, and the ability to use a practiced self-talk cue to get your focus on the game back, is all the time you likeky have.

In other sports like tennis or archery where there is a natural reset point between serves or shots there may be a bit more time to recognize the setback, use a couple of breaths as a cue to reset and refocus or maybe even some imagery of the next serve or shot.

The point is that resetting (and refocusing) is a mental skill that can and should be practiced. You cannot just rely on pulling it out of your bag of tools when under the pressure of competition. It should feel like your automatic go to without too much thinking.

How does resetting and refocusing look like in your sport?

From 50k earlier this year stepping up to the 50 miler on Saturday in his second ever ultra.

James has done extraordinarily well and finished well within the cut off despite a niggly leg and he enjoyed himself.

We tapered a bit harder than we would due to the niggles, as there's not much to be gained from continuing to push it hard with just over a week before the race.

Congrats again James! πŸ₯³πŸ‘πŸŽ‰πŸ’ͺ. Superchuffed and proud of you.

Resting and fueling well this week as the next 50miler is just around the corner with the upcoming in May

Shifting focus

Different sports have different requirements on focus. In fact in endurance races it may even be beneficial at times to find a distraction from pain for example.

More technical sports have different requirements, sometimes a more internal focus is beneficial often however the attention needs to be directed outwards. At times a narrow focus on a target is required when other times scanning the wider field is necessary.
When we think of mindfulness and our attempts to stay focused on our breath we know that our minds wander and we're asked to gently bring our focus back to our breath. The same is true when we look at focus in a sports context. We cannot stay fully focused on one thing for too long, in fact that hyperfocus might lead to increased muscle tension for example.
So knowing when to and how to shift our focus becomes a mental skill that can be practiced, and is often a skill an athlete might work or improve on with the support of a sport psychologist.

Motor Learning

Motor Learning is a science that is taught in a variety of exercise science courses, including sport psychology. Why is it important for us and the athletes we work with to understand these principles?

Sport psychology and motor learning are intertwined, motor learning explains howΒ athletes learn physical skills, while sport psychology provides the mental strategies (like focus, feedback, motivation) to optimize the learning and performance, using principles like external focus and effective practice design to improve movement.

Essentially, motor learning provides the mechanics of a skill, and sport psychology provides the toolkit for mastering the skill by enhancing co-ordination, removing mental blocks and enhancing feedback given to the athlete.

Case in point is a triathlete who works hard on improving technical skills in swimming over the winter months but gets frustrated that they seem to be getting slower rather than improving their swim times.

Whilst learning the new skil, it isn't fully automated and a lot of focus is in individual movements, hence the swimming might actually slow down. At this stage further technical feedback will likely slow 🐌 down movements even more.

This is where we can support either the coach or the athlete directly by educating, removing mental blocks, reducing overwhelm and changing the focus.

Sport Psychology Toolkit - 24

The skill of listening

Sometimes that is all we need to do.

How we listen is important though.

It isn't always about showing a concrete path forward, offer advice or teaching a new mental skill.

Sometimes our athletes just need to talk through a particular issue they have and that might be enough to have clarity over the way forward.

Active and reflective listening skills are skills that we as practitioners employ all the time. This can be incredibly powerful and help the individual reflect πŸ˜”
