#1007: Be Kinder to Yourself on the Court
#1007: Coach Mindy Yoder points out the ways that we can undermine ourselves on the court (name calling ourselves lazy, stupid) and suck the fun out of the game. If you’re being harsh to yourself, Mindy talks about how to interrupt and change that thought process. Is there anything you can do when a partner is being unkind to him/herself since it affects you.
In this episode you’ll hear:
Why negative self-talk is often rooted in fear (of failure, disappointing your partner, not being “good enough”)
Why paddle-smacking yourself doesn’t magically improve your third shot drop
How to interrupt a nasty thought in real time
What to say instead of “Don’t do that!”
Why training your brain to notice what went well changes everything
What you can do when your partner is being hard on themselves (because yes, it affects you too)
