Back To School Mental Training: Managing Test Anxiety

Your heart is racing, your palms are sweaty, you sit down, look at the test in front of you, and suddenly think, “I don’t remember anything.” Sound familiar? Here’s the question to consider: what if being nervous doesn’t mean you’re going to fail? In this episode of the Back-to-School Mental Training series, Coach Antoinette shows student-athletes that anxiety doesn’t have to be an obstacle and that you can learn to work with it. It’s another tool for your Academic Mental Gym Bag, built to help you stay calm and perform under pressure at your desk, just like you do on the field.

The Mental Weight Room is also available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts or wherever you stream your podcasts.
