EXPECTATIONS

Athletes often hold certain expectations and many of them are unhealthy. For an athlete to expect to achieve a certain score in a game or to compile specific statistics in a game or to reach a certain number of wins in a season can hold that athlete back. When you have expectations about how you will perform, you are constantly comparing how you ARE performing to how you think you SHOULD be performing. That can lead to several problems. If you are not performing as well as you think you should be or as well as you expected to, you could become frustrated. That will negatively affect your performance. If you are performing better than you expected, you could pull back, become less aggressive and limit what your performance could have been.
