Some questions to answer yourself:
- Have you ever gotten frustrated with yourself for not achieving the results you think you deserve?
- Do you or others consider you to be "underachieving"?
- Do you really "want" to achieve more?
- Do you feel that come competition you do not perform like you do in training or practice?
- Do you struggle to find or maintain motivation?
- Do you experience days when you simply "cannot put a foot wrong" or "right" and you cannot explain that?
- Do you sometimes "wonder why you are doing this"?
- Do you tend to over-analyze your performances/results?
- Do you struggle with competition nerves?
