How to Keep Shooting After Missing

DR. PATRICK J. COHN
About this episode
In this sports psychology podcast, Dr. Cohn helps a player on how to stay confident in shooting after a couple of misses during the game, Dr. Cohn answers a question from Sam who had to say this about his game.

Sam said: "If I miss a couple of shots in the game, I lose confidence. Or if somebody makes a negative comment, I lose confidence. Eventually, I end up being more hesitant and not play as aggressive. And I miss everything then. Inside, outside, drives. It's hard for me to get out of it. Any ideas on how to get out of that?

Dr. Patrick Cohn is a master mental game coach who works with junior to professional athletes at Peak Performance Sports, LLC. ​​​ Improve your mindset for sports with mental training for athletes.
