The Importance of Team Communication

DR. PATRICK J. COHN
About this episode
In this sports psychology podcast, Dr. Cohn helps a soccer player understand the importance of team communication to achieve success. In addition, he highlights the mindset of moving on from past mistakes and staying in the moment of the game. In this episode, Dr. Cohn Answers a question from Lee who had to say this about this about his game:

LEE: "I play goalie on my soccer league team. I am wanting to improve my inner game. Sometimes I have games where I shut down. I get quiet and don't communicate with my team well. I also make unnecessary errors that could be avoided if my mind was right. How can I be more consistent with my mental game and not go into a shell and stop talking?"
