Three Sports Performance Tips to Help you through the Triple Option Process
December 19, 2013
Focus on concrete, specific actions, selecting bottom-line strategies. If you’re an A-Back, for instance, your cues might be “Dropstep-Crossover-Run” (Playside) and “Hammer-Step-Drive” (Backside).
Rule 2: Positivity.
The thought of failure makes people anxious and fearful. When you, the A-Back tell yourself not to do something–“Don’t drop the pitch”–you’re actually reminding yourself of failure. As a result, you grow anxious; your muscles tense; your heart races and your concentration splinters. You lose control and you drop the pitch.
Rule 3: Focus on your strengths.
Top Triple Option football players know that the time to worry about their weaknesses is during practice. When they get to competition, they build on their strengths. Remember to focus on the present, to concentrate on the task at hand. You can only control right now, so don’t waste mental energy on past mistakes or future hopes. Remind yourself that you don’t have to be Superman to win; you Just have to do what you’ve trained and prepared yourself to do.
