How do you psychologically slow the game down?

Instead of trying to 'stay calm' this article argues you should just channel that energy differently

Subconscious > conscious

You have to practice it. I did a day of driving training with our police department out at the local race track, and I was riding shotgun with a cop as he took a turn in full drift at like 85 mph and as casually as if talking to the guy next to you on the bus is like, did you see how I start high and then cut l, and slight tail brake before I initiated the turn... I’m glad the weather cooperated today it is nice out. As I am like white knuckle gripped bracing for impact thinking we are going to die. If you can practice scenarios where your brain is overwhelmed with adrenaline in a controlled environment you can see how you react and train to handle it.

I do a session of self hypnosis just after I warm up. just kind of telling myself that i will be loose in my riding, scare myself a little, be focused on my goals.

Did the same thing too this season, kinda like a stretching/yoga routine but with a focus on the day and what you want to do/achieve. Clear your entire head and just focus and relax. Relaxation is honestly key in anything. You cant perform well i believe if you arent relaxed.

And then when you come home, do the exact same routines, do a 30sec-1min breathing exercise, and list off in your head things your are thankful for and especially things for that day

A lot of it comes with straight up practice, experience, and being a total expert at what you're doing. say skiing, mountain biking, whatever, if you're about to drop a sketchy scary line, but you have total confidence because you've been there 1000 times before, your mind can focus completely on what you need to do, without hesitation. If you can do that, getting in "the zone" isnt as big of a deal because it either happens naturally, or its so 2nd nature for you, it doesnt demand enough mind power to get you into the zone.

Obviously you cant be an expert at everything, and even if you are you're going to encounter unfamiliar situations that threaten to take away your confidence and calm. In those cases I feel like its a fine line between it being better to psyche yourself out vs force yourself into a calm state of mind. sometimes its better to have a bit of fear, adrenaline, etc. as it can put you into a hyper focused state, which is sometimes beneficial if its something you're not great at. but if you've got a level of experience and confidence at something, I find its better to put yourself into a state of "calm focus" where you feel good, confident, but you're totally focused and your minds free from distraction.

I have a couple things I do for that. First is visualizing what im going to do, if i can visualize doing it and nailing it, its makes it a possibility in my mind which gives me confidence, plus visualizing more can turn it from a conscience thing, more into an un-conscience, anytime you have to think about something while doing it, you're at a huge disadvantage vs. it being instinct. Another is I count down from 20, and try to visualize and see every number without any distraction, not thinking about anything else, just pure focus on the number i'm on. that puts you into a state of focus. you can practice it wherever too, and i like to count with my fingers any time theres any distraction, mostly to track progress. and the last one is self talk and/or just thinking you're the shit before you do the thing. like think of the most cocky thing you could say about yourself in a way that relates to what you want to do, and repeat it, and think/believe it. If you can actually buy what you're telling yourself its a great way to free the mind, feel good and relax.

Yoga will take your skiing to the next level.

Its also important to visualize what will make you succeed. If your on top of a sketchy line or park jump just visualize the run in, getting a good pop and setting the trick or how your body will react once you drop the cornice and where you are doing to dump the extra speed. This way you put that mental energy into planning on what to do instead of the bad outcome if things go wrong. It also helps you figure if something is in your skill level or not. For instance if there is a cliff in the trees that is really clean but has a really sketchy run out you can visualize each step and think, "Ok, I can get this setup here, the lip is good right by this branch, I will air, landing looks clean but where can I dump my speed before the trees get thick?" Maybe this lap ski around the cliff and straight line a bit under it to see how to best scrub that landing speed. If it feels good then get to the top and run the plan again, if it all checks out you will have much more confidence dropping in. This way you rationalize why you are scared and can work around it instead of just being frightened of something to the point you give up or crash.

This is also what makes tree skiing so addicting, because you are literally formulating this plan every 5 seconds as you can only see about 15-20 through the trees.

Feeling this hardcore right now. Thanks for your input. DItto on the yoga thing. What helps with skiing to is sorta reminding yourself that youve been in certain situations before (i.e. approaching a line/cliff/cornice/etc.) and that helps with hucking and especially features youve hit before. You know what the takeoffs gonna be like, what the landing should be like, only thing to get used too is the snow quality which is the easy part.

i want to learn how i can get into that head space or frame of mind to where im doing a 270 on to a down-flat and i can clearly visualize the exact placement of where my skis will land on the rail
