Pep Talks
What to say to yourself when emotions spike.
Short scripts for those moments when emotions can take over.
Start with the moment you are in.
Then choose the words that help you reset. Every pep talk is built around a specific emotional moment every competitive player meets.
Interrupt the spiral.
Reframe faster.
Your inner voice is always coaching. Make sure it’s coaching for you.
