Negative thinking is contagious and highly powerful. Unless you are very clear with how you approach a performance you easily become sucked into the rantings of teammates, coaches, friends, family, and fans. If you believe that failure and pending doom are around the corner and you attempt to 'think' positive, you are putting icing on a cardboard box, basically, playing games with yourself. You hear that positive thinking is the best approach. Is it? Consider this-

Positive thinking the flip side of negative thinking is considered to be powerful in its own right, however, positive thinking tends to be goal oriented and is definitely a good directive for training and rehearsals.  Positive thinking may not be true, at least according to you. You can chant, I'm the best! I'm the best! but if it doesn't come from a place of power, a position of true grit, again, flimsy cardboard box.

You will be forever stuck in the training ground of learning and not a full fledged competitor. This training mindset does not lift you in the compeititors circle. You cannot analyze and think when you are competing.

You want to trust in the force of your activated body-mind to maximize your skills.

 Confidence is in gear prior to performance. It surges. You feel it. You are faithful to your exceptional thinking, your guidelines, and philosophies.

There are basic principles that you adhere to no matter what. You do not wait to score a basket to feel good. You remain in 'good' miss or make it. What are your philosophies? Where does your mind go as you move through a game? Some players speak of mini anxiety pangs when an error or miss occurs and then the negative or attempt at positive thinking kicks in with little effect. The spiral habit spins you into despair. Then the force of negative from with your mind and the voices outside of you weave a tale of defeat.

Your mind power is your greatest ally for performance.

If you aren't in the game completely (mind, body and spirit), your body loses power and strength, and the mind easily gets distracted, forgetful, and can negatively influence what your body has been trained to do. This cycle easily sabotages efforts, strength, concentration and can even lead to an injury. If you want to be a top performer, you must develop the mental habits of a competitor.
