In this episode of the Mental Weight Room, mental performance coach Antoinette Datoc discusses the impact of self talk on performance in sports and life. Datoc explains what self talk is—our internal dialogue—and differentiates between positive and negative self talk. She highlights how negative self talk can lead to anxiety and poor performance, while positive self talk builds confidence and focus. The episode offers strategies for reframing negative thoughts, including recalling past successes and practicing affirmations such as 'I am calm' and 'I am capable.' Consistency and self compassion are emphasized as key to developing a strong internal dialogue. An action plan is provided: identify negative self talk, reframe thoughts, practice positive self talk daily, and be compassionate with oneself. The episode concludes with a reminder that one has the power to choose thoughts that uplift and push them forward.
