In this episode, Patrick shares with his listeners the 10 costly mistakes athletes make. The first question to ask is why are athletes making these costly mistakes? We find that first and foremost, many of these costly mistakes may be due to a lack of awareness. This is why this podcast is necessary to shed light on the importance of checking in on your own mental game. But secondly, many of these mistakes are due to mental and emotional struggles and the maladaptive responses to them. Such mental and emotional turmoils often lead to avoidance behaviors. These emotional struggles include an inability or perception of lack of ability in dealing with anxiety, worry, frustration, unhappiness, and overall, fear. Ironically, many of these behavioral mistakes are counter intuitive to their original intentions of seeking out relief which often results in continued emotional suffering. So let’s get into the 10 costly mistakes that athletes make. Before continuing, once again this podcast is not meant to trigger anyone and is not geared towards calling out anyone in particular. Also, there are far more then just 10. But here are the 10 mistakes that we will cover in today’s podcast. 1. Over-training (not taking breaks, vacations, mentally detaching completely from sport). 2. Social Media - Time spent, lowering attention focus, delaying long-term goal achievement, comparison (sadness, frustration, jealousy, envy, depression) 3. Electronics - Video games, checking phones during practice (usually multiple times.) 4. Lack of Communication - Not speaking to support team about struggles, asking for what they want, etc. 5. Not Enough Structure: Routines, sleep, nutrition, fitness 6. Staying with the wrong coach for too long: (Reciprocity effect) or Switching coaches/organizations too often: 7. Not competing enough (waiting for the “right time”) 8. Worrying about feeling anxious 9. Trying to be perfect Leads to Obsessions/more suffering (winning, ranking, destination, other peoples expectations) 10. Choosing what’s easy (escaping necessary discomfort) (training hard, fitness, competitions, see this in college institutions)** Leads to extortion tactics.
