Examining Sports Phobias & Fears
If you are a sports parent or coach then you have probably already learned that it doesn’t take much for a youngster to soon become afraid — or even phobic — of some of the physicality associated with sports competition. Whether it’s getting hit by a pitch, leveled by an opponent, or humiliated in front of a crowd of people, many kids experience fears and phobias that can inevitably knock down their self-confidence and mental toughness, while at the same time increase their level of anxiety. I discuss some of these concerns in the Sports Doc clip from Ohio News Network (above).
