In an online lecture with ice hockey players the other day, I had this question.
"I've been in a match and my team coach has high expectations for me, but I can't get results. What should I do when I don't get results?"
I remembered in my youth age, when I was very worried that I couldn't score a goal even though I was allowed to play in the game. When I was in high school, there were days when I shed tears when I couldn't score a goal. Looking back, I think it was a childish ...
Aside from that, I think that the way of thinking about "results" differs greatly depending on the position, especially for forward players, the ratio of the idea that results = goals is high, and when it comes to midfielders, assists, goals, etc. Athletes in aggressive positions will focus more on the more visible "individual results".
However, in addition to easy-to-understand results such as goals and assists, various things have been quantified these days. For example, tackle win rate, cross success rate, pass success rate, Dual win rate, etc. How much these numbers are involved in the "team win or lose" cannot be measured by the numbers alone, but you do not necessarily win because of their high success rate.
Goals and assists are simply directly linked to the outcome of the team's victory, and are also points that make it easy for attack players to set goals. And if you have a strong sense of responsibility for that, I think that anxiety and frustration about not getting results will easily accumulate.
Here, I would like to write with the definition of "result = individual goal assist result + team victory" based on the situation of the questioner.
Recognize the difference between other person's evaluation (number), self-evaluation, and preconditions
The first thing I told her was how I perceive the "results". The result is a "number" and is part of the evaluation of others. And, the "time scale" is involved in grasping that "the result is not obtained".
Do you think that in a month's results are not available, or that a year's results are not available? These differences can make a big difference in how you feel.
And what is the "result" and how long is it considered to be "no result"?
For example, let's say the coach thinks that a player hasn't scored a goal for a month and that he hasn't got any results. As a result, I think that the coach will make various choices depending on the purpose and situation, such as being removed from the starting lineup, reducing the chances of participating in the game, and still being appointed in the game.
From a management point of view, the reason why a player cannot score a goal is that the coach is not able to create a situation where the player can score a goal as highly possible, which is the first thing the coach should consider.
The solution and mindset will differ depending on whether the player has a chance but cannot score a goal due to technical or mental problems, or if he or she has not been able to get such a shot chance in the first place. ..
First of all, which is the former or the latter? It is necessary to think about the part. I couldn't tell this story during the lecture, so I'm writing this now, so I hope the ice hockey players are reading this (laughs).
If your technical and mental problems do not connect your chances to a goal, you can improve your skills (improve accuracy) and score goals in order to build your favorite pattern.
If your team isn't working well and you don't get a chance to shoot due to tactical or strategic issues, communicate with your coach or teammates.
First of all, by organizing the perceptions here, I think it will become clear what you should do now.
And what parts of the team and coach are evaluating themselves, how you are evaluating yourself, and what they have in common. Think of these two separately.
Calmly analyze why no results are obtained. Just trying hard somehow will not solve anything, so I think the best shortcut is to continue taking the action to move forward, no matter how small thing is.
Be aware of results and outcome
The result of numbers is important, but it is also one of the self-techniques necessary to increase self-affirmation to realize the "results" that only you can see, such as numbers. ..
For example, when you can demonstrate a technic that you couldn't do before. It's not a coincidence, but when you work consciously and it becomes a habit and you can demonstrate it in the game, you can feel your own "results". And when that technic helps people, you will get more joy and happiness.
If you are caught up in the results of numbers and cannot recognize such "results", your self-efficacy will decrease, you will be more likely to fall into a mentally unhealthy state, and as a result, you will create a psychological state where performance is difficult to improve.
How to create a psychological state that makes it easier for you to improve your performance is one of the important points that are indispensable for continuing the competition.
Try any small thing. The technique will be refined by the trial (execution), and it will be a result and lead to self-confidence. To get the result of numbers, it is a series of such small things.
Focus on the outcome, not just the results. I think that the accumulation of small outcome will eventually lead to the flow of producing large results.
