“In pressure moments, competitors can be helped by a concept called ‘non-attachment.’ Non-attachment is the ability to detach oneself from the outcome of a performance. Top performing athletes understand the result of an athletic contest does not define them as a person. When athletes define themselves by results, the desire to succeed can produce a hyped-up emotional state that robs them of their best effort.
As you detach, focus on the things you have control over, like doing things the right way, giving maximum effort, supporting teammates, or listening carefully to your coach. Detachment should lead to calm and focus.
