Some athletes try to intimidate others intentionally because they think it gives them a mental edge or feel they need to this to win. However, most intimidation comes from athletes who psych themselves out - all on their own.
They psych themselves out because of negative thoughts or fears, which then turn into mental gremlins. Self-intimidation is what you bring on yourself because you worry too much about your competition or the team you are about to play.
Self-intimidation can come in many forms such as...
>>Feeling pressure to perform your best or win.
>>Worry about performing against other athletes who are just as skilled.
>>Comparing yourself to other athletes who you think are better.
>>Worry about competing against a ranked or well-known athlete.
>>Get caught up in the hoopla or importance of a game.
BE CONFIDENT!
