Jim Afremow has a great score card you can use when facing a tough decision. Mental Performance Score card .
Keep a mental performance scorecard for each performance by rating yourself on a scale of 1‐5 in each of the four areas:
Belief ‐ did I prepare so well that I felt as though I could not fail?
Enjoyment ‐ did I maintain an attitude of gratitude and a sense of humor throughout the performance?
Self‐talk ‐ did I deploy a steady stream of positive self‐talk to kill my automatic negative thoughts and stay present?
Toughness ‐ how quickly did I reset and recover after a setback?
If you improve your scorecard with every performance, you will be well on your way to becoming a champion.
