Go On – Jump!
Ultimately the fear virus is beaten by maintaining a focus on the steps you need to take to meet your goals, and keeping your mind on positive outcomes. As Peter Gabriel says in the song Darkness:

The Fear Virus
Fear will destroy everything you ever worked for. It will stop you not just achieving your goals, but can stop you even trying.
The Perception of Success
Success is relative. What one person sees as success another may see as failure. However, we all view success as comparative to something else.

Is Youth Sport About Performance Or Results?
Coaches create lifelong memories. Our kids today are playing games they will remember for the rest of their lives, and I hope that when it comes to my son he is able to remember the games he gave everything, when he tried new things that came off, and that the score doesn’t take away the feeling of achievement if it’s a game the team lost.
