Here’s the question Dr. Patrick Cohn answers this week:
VICKY ASKS: “Right before a big competition or skating test I doubt my skills and imagine the worst possible outcome will happen. I have a hard time monitoring my self-talk and trusting my skills. Sometimes I get into a drowsy, almost like tired state that is hard to break out of. Thus, I don’t have the energy and spunk. Why am I not more mentally tough leading up to my skating competitions and tests?”
