We can’t succeed without the help of others. Sharing our pressures with other people makes us more likely to achieve our goals, and makes us feel less stressed. Receiving the advice of others also helps us notice things from a different perspective than our own. Therefore, it is important that we find ourselves a trusted person in which we can discuss our difficulties and successes on and off the pitch.This could be a school friend, teammate, parent, or coach – the choice is yours
Seeking support is especially effective when we wish to review our sporting performance. By sitting down with someone who has viewed the game from a different angle, we can receive a more objective analysis of our performance. This can allow us to highlight what areas we need to work on in our game, what methods are best for doing this, as well as noting what was also good in our performance.
