When a coach tells me how to correct a mistake I've made, I tend to take it personally and feel upset.

I remain positive and enthusiastic during competition, no matter how badly things are going.

I tend to play better under pressure because I think more clearly.

When a coach or teammate criticizes me, I become upset rather than feel helped.

I put a lot of pressure on myself by worrying about how I will play.

I set my own performance goals for each practice.

The more pressure there is during a game, the more I enjoy it.

When I feel myself getting too tense, I can quickly relax my body and calm myself.

I think about and imagine what will happen if I fail or screw up.

I maintain emotional control regardless of how things are going for me.

It is easy for me to direct my attention and focus on a single object or person.

I improve my skills by listening carefully to advice and instructions from coaches.
