Underdog Mentality

The underdog mentality describes a David vs. Goliath situation in which a smaller, less experienced, ostensibly less talented, or any other “lesser” competitor takes on the bigger, more experienced, ostensibly more talented, or any other “greater” competitor. The strength of the underdog mentality is that it allows the “lesser” to take advantage of the situation from a psychological standpoint – and is one of the most sensational aspects of sports.

Athletes wishing to create this mentality can work on the following:

Focus on performance and not outcome
Create a ritual (before and after performances – win or lose)
Enjoy the moment
Rely on what got you where you are, don’t expect to change (much if anything) because of circumstance
If you choose to read about expectations (which is sometimes unavoidable but avoidance is recommended), remember that everyone has an opinion regardless of how much knowledge they may or may not have about you, your performance, the circumstances, or your opponents
Reward yourself for your performances regardless of outcome
Live in the moment rather than attempting to learn too much during the actual event (you will learn regardless and after the performance is complete will be the best time to review and refine your feelings, thoughts, and actions)
