HELLO?! YOU PLAY TO WIN THE GAME!
Mental Training Tips: Self-Intimidation 04.17.2013 - By Jared Ocana The other day I was having lunch with an athlete, and they mentioned to me they had a “big” game coming up and they were frustrated because they felt their team collectively was scared. I didn’t understand what they meant, I asked for clarification. The athlete responded, “it’s weird, we just never play to our potential against them. If you even mention the word [Team Name] and half the team starts to freak out.” Confused, I asked for more specifics and the athlete divulged that the other team has had a lot of success in the past and the last few times they have played each other, their team has “fallen apart” against them. “We are a good team, but we just can’t beat them.” I quickly responded with my best Herm Edwards impression. I then explained to the athlete, they and their teammates were just allowing themselves to be intimidated (called Self-Intimidation). They were breaking a cardinal sin of performance known as normative-comparison, simply they were comparing themselves to their opponents. In this case, they were making negative comparisons or allaying to how they’re not as good, fast or strong as their competitors. I told them, “you’re basically psyching yourselves out!” Self-intimidation is one of the more frustrating challenges athletes must learn to overcome, because the athlete must learn to overcome their own thoughts or doubts. The following are signs you might be intimidating yourself:
Don’t focus on your opponent. If you are thinking too much about your opponent, focus on your preparation instead. Think about your team strategy and how you will execute it during the game. Focus on your warm-up and what your strengths are. Don’t focus on the outcome. Instead of thinking about what it will mean to win or lose, think about the effort and hard work that is necessary for you to excel. Focus on what you have control of. Be in the moment. Don’t be thinking about the bad pass you made 2 minutes ago or the dreaded, “there is only 2 minutes left and we are up by 3.” Instead, the only thing that should be on your mind is what you have to be doing right now!

RHS WINS Super 7s CHAMPIONSHIP AVENGING LAST YEAR'S LOSS TO BINGHAM
From: www.utahlacrossenews.com2012 Girls Super 7s Ends With A Bang
10.18.2012 - By Tim Haslam
The 2012 Girls Super 7s season ended on Wednesday with 12 games including 3 championship contests including a rematch of the 2011 Championship game between Riverton and Bingham.
The Gold Championship game was fast paced and intense while including great defensive play by the Silverwolves from Riverton and the Mighty Miners from Bingham. The Silverwolves held a 6-4 lead at halftime due to phenomenal goalie play by Mikala ‘Sharkbait’ Anderson who had 11 saves on 15 shots in the first half. The game was tied at 9 with 6 minutes remaining which led fans to believe there would be another overtime game, however, the Silverwolves held strong on defense. The Silverwolves offense scored on a free position attempt with 5 minutes remaining and an insurance goal at the 1 minute mark on a fast break. The Mighty Miners just couldn’t find the back of the net in the final minutes.
“In the first half I was just trying to give my team a chance to win the game,” said Anderson. “It was hard but I think we played really well as a team. I’m very proud of my girls. Kelsey Brown stood out to me. I just wanted to get the ‘W’ tonight after losing last year in sudden death. I’m just so happy right now.”
