What if mistakes aren't as scary as you're making them?

In this episode, Coach Jojo talks about why so many athletes fear mistakes and how that fear often has a bigger impact on performance than the mistake itself. Instead of trying to eliminate mistakes, athletes will learn why mistakes are an inevitable part of sports—and why learning to respond to them is what separates confident athletes from everyone else.

Coach Jojo dives into the relationship athletes have with mistakes, why we tend to resist negative emotions, and how avoiding feelings like frustration, embarrassment, and disappointment only keeps us stuck. Rather than running from those emotions, this episode encourages athletes to understand them, feel them, and eventually learn to coexist with them.

As athletes become more accepting of negative emotions, they'll discover that mistakes don't have to create panic or self-doubt. She explains how this shift can move athletes from emotional reactions to a place of neutrality—and eventually to a mindset where mistakes become opportunities for growth instead of threats to confidence.

She also provides 3 tools:

1. Name the mistake

2. Information received

3. Reflection question on the mistake

If you've ever let one mistake turn into an entire bad game, struggled to bounce back after an error, or felt like mistakes define the kind of athlete you are, this episode will help you build a healthier relationship with mistakes and start competing with more freedom.

Let's play with mistakes!
