00:07
what you're gonna hear in just a second

[Music]
00:24
there's all sorts of different
00:26
strategies for not choking my son's
00:28
about to play in the finals of an
00:29
international hockey tournament he's the
00:31
goalie so he's the only one on the team
00:33
that can keep him from losing and
00:35
there's a lot of pressure on a goalie
00:36
there's a couple things you can do
00:39
particularly if you're in a skilled
00:40
position like that to keep from choking
00:42
but the rules apply if you've got to
00:44
give a big speech if you're asking
00:46
someone out on a date anything that gets
00:48
you kind of uptight the first thing to
00:51
remember is to use fear as fuel of
00:53
course it is when you feel that feeling
00:55
of excitement that change in your
00:57
physiology your body your heart starts
00:59
to be your respiratory picks up your
01:01
palms might get a little sweaty think of
01:03
that as energy you've got to think of
01:05
fear as fuel first of all the second
01:08
thing you need to think about is what
01:11
you want as the outcome so if you're
01:12
playing goalie your thought should be
01:14
stop the puck stop the puck it shouldn't
01:17
be thinking about I need my elbow higher
01:19
I need my wrist lower there was a great
01:21
study by Seon blankly and thinking
01:24
performance and we have a playoff they
01:26
found if they ask people when they're
01:27
putting to talk about what they're doing
01:29
they did a lot worse this thing is not
01:31
about sinking it in the hole so that's
01:33
the number two strategy number three
01:35
strategy to take players out of a
01:37
pressure situation is to ask them to
01:40
write down before they go on the ice or
01:42
before they do the game what they're
01:44
worried about just writing it down and
01:46
clearing out of their memory and getting
01:47
it out of their head seems to have a big
01:49
impact so those are three great
01:50
strategies to keep from choking I hope
01:52
they work well on Patrick Sweeney until
01:54
next time live big
