The Impact of Self-Talk on Performance
Self-talk significantly influences our performance, with the way we speak to ourselves either leading to downward spirals or manifesting seemingly impossible achievements. Athletes like Kobe and Tiger demonstrate how framing challenges positively and reinforcing confidence through affirmations can enhance performance. Chatter, described in Ethan Cross' book as negative spiraling self-talk, poses a common challenge for athletes at all levels, affecting their success. Strategies highlighted in the book aim to combat negative thought patterns and cultivate positive self-talk to optimize performance.
