A mistimed tantrum can cost you a scholarship offer.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A college coach<\/a> can be\u00a0watching at anytime.\u00a0 You never know.\u00a0\u00a0So, when you make a mistake, what do you do<\/a>?\u00a0 Throw\u00a0your\u00a0helmet, a towel or a fit?\u00a0 Do you hang your head and mutter under your breath?\u00a0\u00a0When you do these things, what’s a coach\u00a0supposed to think?\u00a0 You’re toast, that’s what.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Coaches know better than anyone about mistakes.\u00a0 They see them every day in practice and in\u00a0games.\u00a0 Their jobs depend on noticing mistakes and then helping\u00a0athletes both understand and\u00a0correct them.\u00a0 But, if you want that chance\u00a0with a college coach, it’s vital to be in control of your emotions following miscues.\u00a0 Otherwise, you could lose the opportunity of a lifetime to\u00a0be a college athlete.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Emotional maturity is sometimes a lot\u00a0to ask\u00a0when everything, at the moment,\u00a0is on the line.\u00a0\u00a0Winning can be on the\u00a0line, but winning the game is not what we are referring to here.\u00a0 Winning a scholarship offer is, though.\u00a0<\/p>\n

There are thousands upon thousands of athletes in the same boat as you.\u00a0 They\u00a0want desperately to advance to the next level.\u00a0 Some will be stopped by their attitudes and\u00a0an inability to\u00a0curtail destructive emotional outbursts.\u00a0 Others, some less physically talented, will get the nod instead because they have demonstrated\u00a0a degree of emotional maturity\u00a0beyond\u00a0those whose unwillingness to address their shortcomings in this key aspect of athletics.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Planning how to better handle mistakes is the best option you have.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We suggest this:\u00a0 if you\u00a0have difficulty\u00a0with your temper or attitude when things don’t go your way or when you make a mistake, or even when someone around you does something wrong, get help.\u00a0\u00a0Accept it and deal with it.\u00a0 Talk to your coaches or mentors you trust.\u00a0 Ask their advice on how to stop sabotaging your own future.\u00a0 Then, like anything else,\u00a0think about it and visualize situations which\u00a0have previously pushed your “hot” button.\u00a0\u00a0See yourself\u00a0reacting differently, more appropriately.\u00a0\u00a0Practice this over and again.\u00a0 Catch yourself before this harmful behavior has a chance to reveal itself again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
