Coach, not critic

Talk to yourself like you'd talk to a teammate.

SWe reviewed 27 studies on it.Stress, nerves and calm

How to use it

After a failure, three lines: "this is hard", "everyone who trains falls", "what would I tell a teammate?" Then the next action. Self-criticism made people more stuck, not more driven.

How sure we are

S Evidence: strong. Large trials or many studies, pointing the same way.
