Managing Your Negative Self-Talk | Special Episode with CJ Johnson

How you think is how you will perform, whether you are an athlete or not. And as human beings, it's so much easier to say and believe something that's negative vs something that's positive.

As always, thanks for joining us on Pickleball Therapy - the podcast dedicated to your pickleball improvement. If you have not yet subscribed to the podcast ... wait what?? you haven't subscribed? ... you know what to do.

I've been mulling over the idea of self-talk for the past few weeks, specifically the impact of our self-talk on our performance on the pickleball courts. Positive self talk is key to success in any sport. 

Unfortunately, most of our internal self-talk is negative.

What can we do when it happens to us out on the pickleball court? The first step is to recognize our negative self-talk. 

Listen to this episode as I share with you a case scenario of the Ryder Cup, what we can put in place when negative talk happens and also give you examples of negative self-talk that destroy our confidence.

Don't should or could on yourself!
