In this episode, Jaki Hitzelberger, MA, MGCP and Dr. Patrick Cohn answer a question from a soccer player who says:
“I constantly find myself doubting my abilities because the girls I play with are very skilled technically. I fear being the weak link which leads to negative self-talk and inability to pull away from mistakes.”
