another (#4) Win-It Tip from Top Athletes

FIT TIP(#115): Talk a Big Game
No one ever wins by believing that they can't. Top athletes are known to pump themselves up with positive self-talk.
Repeating "I can do this" to yourself is a way to replace the negative thoughts that pop up when you're under pressure. It helps you to focus on what you can do rather than on what you fear you can't.

Try this: Every time your internal voice goes rogue, counter it with a cue statement--a brief phrase that shuts down the critic, such as "I'm strong and in control" or "it's not a problem."
