Frustration, loss of motivation, doubts, tension, distraction and not reaching the desired level are common experiences whilst exercising and certainly during recovery. The most frequently asked question is, how do I get rid of this? The annoying answer is; probably not. This is because we cannot (always) control our thoughts and feelings.
The question is, how do you (best) deal with this so that these experiences have less or even no effect on your performance? This is where our VSPN® sports psychologist Marijn van Leaves can guide you through mental training. During these sessions, Marijn maps out your personality, situation and ambitions. This understanding helps her to train you with the skills to achieve the desired behaviour. That is why sports psychology is also very beneficial for athletes performing well, but who want to get even better.
