Thank you so much

I’m a rower and when I just don’t hit that score on the machine or I’m behind the group in training I feel like I’m holding everyone back and disappointing myself. This was really helpful thanks

Thank you so much, you are the best, youre saving my career

Thanks for sharing this, I am trying to be more mindful... but still, sometimes anger takes over.

A lifetime of not taking chances, is my motivation to go for it every time. I know that not taking the chances, not playing with full drive and commitment leads to a pretty boring outcome. So I am always motivated to Send It. Given that I can't impart my life experiences upon my charges directly, this will help me to teach them that taking the risk is really the best option in nearly every scenario, and that they are acting within their skills. Fear of Failure, is ultimately a distraction that doesn't allow one to maximize their performance.

Hey, thanks for making this video. I really love football, but I believe that I've lost my confidence. My coach is strict since he coaches college students, and I think he applies his strictness to us high school students. I feel as if I'm the worst in our team. I passed varsity tryouts, and it went well for me for the first 3 months, but it started getting worse as months passed by. New people came, and they were really skilled. I don't have a club outside school yet, and that makes me feel left out. My other teammates seem to favor our new teammates more. I have tried everything I could do-I don't think my effort's worthy of them. Ever since I lost my confidence in playing, I started looking for excuses just to not train. I really want to regain my confidence back and play freely like I used to. I've never been put in sub, and I've never wanted to be put in sub, but now, whenever my coach puts me in sub, I feel lighter. It's like I no longer want to play, but there's still a part of me that badly wants to play. I don't understand.

How to join the sports team as a walk on in college

Muchas gracias

Love the podcasts. Learning a lot from you. Appreciate you!!!!🤝

Commenting for the algorithm.

i'm not even an athlete but this is good advice 👍

I watch your every videos. 👍

👍👌 keep it up.

Hi Eli. I love the way you communicate. I find some players with excess of stress, and this works very well. Also, I find some under the tension level they need to peak perform. Like they are too relaxed. This is the opposite of pre game nerves or anxiety. How do you manage to activate them to instill that dose of neurotransmitters to get them into “the Zone”?

I’ve been figureskating for a long time now and I struggle A LOT with mental blocks. It’s feels like something been holding me back from developing in my sport. I don’t know what to do because it feels impossible. I’m aware of these mental blocks and I really want to overcome them. Thanks for the tips I’m really going to try this time!

You touched on just about everything I experience before heading out to the course to shoot, whether a registered shoot or a fundraiser event. I'm saving this episode for sure.

Excellent message, perfect timing for me. Thank you!

Really enjoy your messages. Have you ever worked with athletes or teams in the sport of curling?

Basically my mental block is so weird, I don't know if you could tell me, how to visualise right way on this mental block, so, i practice martial arts, you can put any fighter in front of me, I'm not scared of him, but my brother is scarier than anyone else, so here's how it works, i never set up negative myself against others because others don't fight like my brother, and i can easily beat them, but i have this mental blokc with my brother, it's not that his scary, but his style is different and i take it too serious and think, why i can be so good against others but bad agains my brotherz and this makes it worse because you are what you think, and when he throws punches i blinl, move back i lean back, doesn't happen with others, i can block and strike, but i have mental block with brother, how do i set up in a best way to be like: wait he's just as same as others but i somehow think he's gonna win this sparing, how do i overcome this block and visualize

👍👌

Can I perform better if often I miss visualization and meditation

When I don't visualize and meditate I am worrying about anxiety will hit me in match what should I do

Hello Elli, thank you very much for this video. It's good to see you presenting the topic publicly as a mental coach. I struggled a lot with dartitis (basically yips in darts) and am still not where I would like to be, but once I accepted that it is purely a mental problem I started to make progress and I believe I will end up being a better player than I was before because I have now started to open up to mental training. I agree with all of your points and I find myself in many of them. Many coaches (at least in Germany) don't talk about it, and many athletes deny the existence of this problem or don't take it seriously, so I'm grateful that there are coaches like you who talk about it publicly. Getting out of the cycle is harder than any ‘normal’ training and incredibly hard work and I know athletes who rather stopped playing than committing to this hard work. I wish someone had pointed it out to me when I was sliding into it, but if coaches take the issue seriously it can save many athletes from going through the cycle in the first place. Thanks! Best, Simon

Thank you you really helped me to calm down!😊❤

Great stuff!!

I'm a parent of a talented 11yr old soccer player, His mother and I have been very perplexed and left reaching for reasons he has not been himself on the pitch lately, playing passive. Last evening while talking with him, he revealed that he's struggling with performing and a fear of injury (past injuries have kept him from playing). He recently put in a lot of work to make a new team. His new teammates right from the beginning of the season started to place him as the "go to" player after the first 3-4 scrimmages/games, and I believe this added pressure and a failure of his mother and I not understanding/recognizing what is going on, is contributing to the anxiety. I have been suggesting a breathing meditation exercise, getting a nap before practice and games, vitamin supplements to help focus and anxiety, telling him to have fun and play loose, but it seems to be difficult to properly know "when" and "how" to do this correctly. I just had come across your videos, and would like to introduce them to him, where and how would you recommend starting? or any advice?

Very good- information this will help my son

It’s not even when u make a mistake, it’s when you repeatedly make mistakes in matches that you don’t make in training, it drives me nuts, it makes me lose my temper and by consequence I end up making more mistakes and not winning the match that im supposed to win which makes me furious at the end. And im saying that im supposed to win bc many times my game is better than my opponent’s but I just haven’t been able to stay calmed when I make mistakes so it ruins my game

Thankyou brother love and wishes from india🇮🇳

What if I calm myself down and I keep making mistakes??? How do I stay calmed? In tennis it’s so easy to make mistakes so once you are upset it becomes very hard to stay calmed

Hello Sir, I'm a professional graphic designer, and I really want to work with you as a thumbnail designer. I reviewed your TH-cam channel and found that your current thumbnails good but look very simple and not that clicky, eye-catching, or attractive, which is really not suitable for your channel. If I work with you, it will save your time, and your videos will perform much better. I will make very attractive, eye-catching, and high-quality professional thumbnails for you that will grab the viewers' attention and increase the CTR of your videos for sure. I re-designed one of your video thumbnail, would you like to see?

I can't visualize properly i am distracted all the time

Absolutely enjoy your helpful, sessions.

I love Eli’s Yips 😁 Edit: I thought yip was a typo

Appreciate your hard work man. Learning a lot from you !!!!!!
