Watching Your Favorite Team Is Killing You
Watching Your Favorite Team Is Killing You
Watching sports on TV can be stressful, especially if you're a fan of one of the teams. When your team makes a good play, you usually get happy, but when your team plays poorly, you usually get angry or sad. You can also get very angry if the referees make a bad call against your team. Overall, watching a game can put you on an emotional roller-coaster. For the most part, this is fine if you're just a fan. However, if you're also an athlete, this can reinforce unhelpful thinking patterns that can make you mentally weaker in games. When you're playing in an actual game, you don't want to think like a fan. You want to think like an athlete! You don't want to get too emotional after good or bad plays. For the most part, to play your best, you need to stay calm, focused, motivated, and confident after each play, no matter how good or bad it was. This is why reinforcing negative thought patterns as a fan can hurt your mental toughness as an athlete.
However, this doesn't mean you should never watch sports on TV. Watching sports on TV can actually be very helpful if you use it as an opportunity to train your mental toughness. You can strengthen your mind by watching sports. But in order to do this, you need to discipline your mind and take control of your attention, thoughts, and emotions.
