What is Focus? Focus means paying attention to what you are doing and not getting distracted. It means concentrating on the task at hand so you can do your best.

Blocking Out Distractions

Ignoring the noise from the crowd or other players and focusing on playing your game.

Staying in the Moment

Keeping your focus on what’s happening right now in the game. Practicing “Right Now Thinking” helps you move on from a bad call or mistakes and keeps you focused on the next play. 

Thinking About the Big Picture

Remembering to stay focused on your bigger goals. Don’t let something take your focus off of the goals that you have set for yourself or the team.

Strategies to Help Improve Focus
