Why Athletes Experience Fear?

Although there are numerous reasons why athletes experience fears, some of the biggest fears are created because of a lack of timing in sports. Timing is the synchronization of the communication between your mind and body. When this communication is On then you'll experience a perfect performance in training and during competition. When this timing is Off you'll experience fears, doubts, self sabotage, negatives and a poor mental focus.

Remember when you've had days where everything seems to be On, in the Flow or you are in the Zone? Well in those days it seems that everything that you do will almost be done perfectly without any problems whatsoever.

On those days your internal timing is working at a 100% level and this is what creates this feeling of being in the Zone or Flow in your training or during competition.

Here is what happens when your fears come into the picture:

1. If your timing is Off then the communications between your mind and body even slightly off will create a negative feeling because all of the information from your mind to the body doesn't get through because of a so-called electrical short that prevents this from occurring.

2. As soon as this interference happens then your mind has no choice but to go and retrieve a possible solution to this lack of communication.

3. Although your mind has a choice of going positive or negative, it will 99% of the time chooses a negative thought, feeling or fear to cling on to.

4. Once your mind has this negative fear then it tends to send you a feeling of uncertainty about anything that you will attempt to practice or perform in your sport.

Now athletes know about this type of feeling and hope that with all their training that they'll be able to experience a positive feeling that will allow them to achieve peak performance levels during competition.

So they gamble that thing will work out at the right time for competition.

Once athletes know about how to eliminate and control this process then they'll be able to control the outcome of any training or performance to their very best level.
