“Relax.” “Stay positive.” “Come on.”

You talk to yourself on court. But are those words helping you with the next point?

In the first episode of this ten-part series, Dr. Santiago Dayenoff explores instructional and motivational self-talk: how they differ, what research suggests, and how to experiment with two personal cue words in practice.

A starting point for understanding what you say to yourself—and making it more useful.

Episode 1 of 10.
