How to Be Your Own Best Friend in Sports

Do you beat yourself up after competitions and only focus on your mistakes? Self criticism hurts an athlete but the effect of criticism is doubled when it comes from within the athlete’s mind. Being self-critical is the quickest way to shatter confidence.

Many times, athletes describe themselves as being their own biggest critic. This mindset is viewed by some in a positive light meaning that this type of athlete pushes to be perfect and nothing less is sufficient. However self-criticism never pushes an athlete towards excellence. Self-criticism post competition sends the message that you are not good enough and, no matter what you accomplish, that is not good enough either.
