Dr. Cohn helps athletes, coaches and sports parents understand what positive thinking is for athletes and how to have trust in one’s skills for games, practices, and competitions.

Do go into competition with the best plan possible but when your plan doesn’t play out and things don’t go according to your plan then you tend to lose focus and maybe flip out? I’m going to tell you about how you can plan for the unexpected as well as have a great game plan for your game or competition.

Here’s the question Dr. Patrick Cohn answers this week:

Things happen fast in this sport and can’t afford to lose focus and confidence for any reason. How can he improve his mental toughness for when things don’t go as planned?”
