Many professional athletes struggle when they retire due to the difference between training, competing and regular life.

Sports psychology can improve performance but the most important part is knowing that life is not a game, fight or athletics competition etc.

Self talk to improve performance can also be a detriment to your life. 

Are you sure you want to carry on living an almost all consuming life of sport? 

Self talk

Talking or thinking to yourself i.e. "I am the best.", "I can do this." or "I love it."
