The Four R’s Framework
You have the four R’s (React, Re-center, Re-focus, Routine). I like that it provides a framework to think about how can you actually navigate whatever is happening and don't fall prey to automatic triggers, frustration, or even become overconfident and not follow your game plan.
Over-reliance on Coaches
there's an over-reliance on the athlete's part on the coach’s instruction and feedback and not enough self-reflection. And from the coach's perspective, not encouraging athletes to learn, self-reflect, and self-assess what is happening and what is working and what is not.
