What happens in-between plays is as important as what happens during the play.
The great teams, the great players rarely make back–to-back mistakes.
Why?
It’s easy to think that these great players rarely make mistakes 2 plays in a row because of their incredible physical skills – but it is their incredible mental skills that allow them to “stop the bleeding” quickly rather than giving up points in bunches.
Although the physical skills are essential, physical skills without mental skills are pretty much worthless as soon as the spiking in warm up is over! (there are a ton of players who can crush the ball in warm-ups but are mentally cryin for their momma as soon as they or their partner make a mistake during the game.)
Not mentally letting go of the last play will cancel out any physical skills you have developed - I promise.
Learning how to let go of the last play - no what the score is, and no matter what happened during the play (good or bad),
CLEARING YOUR HEAD -
And focusing ONLY on what is happening moment by moment during the current play is critical if you want to become your very best.
If you want some help developing your mental skills, let us know, we can help.
Have a great week!

I absolutely agree, I have been struggling with my mental game lately. I feel like I'm in both a physical and mental slump. However, I know that a lot of it is in my mind. I have a lot of trouble letting go of mistakes and find them compounding .
Although I understand that it's important to let go of the last play and try to do so, do you have any advice, tricks or methods to get rid of that bad energy?
I tell myself after a bad play to let it go and move on, but it's like I'm just saying the words. Is there anything specific that you can suggest to make it work?
Thanks,
Jason
