Controlling your emotions on the court is not always the easiest thing to do, especially when you're so passionate about it. When you play well, you celebrate, and when you struggle, you sulk. We've all been there! What's most important is that you're keeping a level head and that you're able to learn from your mistakes when you struggle. Too many times, players use their past struggles as evidence of how "bad" they are instead of opportunities where they can improve. Try not to be too hard on yourself and ENJOY the game! Sure it's good to hold yourself to a high standard, but if your self criticism is heading in a direction that doesn't necessarily lead to your growth as a basketball player, then it's a waste of time and needs to be cut out!

If you're a player that struggles with the mental side of basketball, this episode is a must listen for you!
