This is exactly why mindset matters!!! From K- Pro. I’m not a psychologist or a therapist. I’m a mental performance coach. Based off my knowledge I would assume last nights Cowboys kicker at some point struggled from “the spotlight effect ”.
The spotlight effect is a term used by sports psychologists to refer to the tendency we have to overestimate how much other people notice about us. In other words, we tend to think there is a spotlight on us at all times, highlighting all of our mistakes or flaws, for all the world to see.
Once your brain goes down that rabbit hole of uncertainty it can spiral out of control real quick. When this happens we do not perform our best!
