The important question is: How do athletes get into the zone?

To view the article click here.

The zone is a state of being fully absorbed into the present – the here and now only.

If you can’t force yourself into the zone, what can you do? You can have the right mindset, or set the foundation, to help you find the zone…

Mindsets to Help Athletes Enter The Zone

-Be here, now. Pick out and focus on the right performance cues to help help you stay in moment.
-Stop worrying about the outcome of the competition.
-Let go of what others might think about your performance; stop trying to read others’ minds.
-Park distractions, from your life, that you might take into competition
-Perform functionally; the opposite of trying to be perfect
-Make it a goal to have fun, instead of being too serious
-Narrow your focus on one simple objective when you perform
-Keep it simple and avoid over thinking or analysing that’s happening
-Stop judging how well you are doing on every play; get to the next play
-Pick just one idea that will help you perform in the moment. If you can do this, you are closer to being in the zone!
