Pressure. It can turn years of expertise, practise and dreams of career-affirming glory into a sporting nightmare. Faced with a high-pressure moments, the doubts can suddenly outweigh muscle memory, the sweaty palms create the fear of slipping both physically and mentally.Following a weekend where we saw Lewis Hamilton win the U.S. Grand Prix, Jose Mourinhos Manchester United side capitulate under pressure at Chelsea while the All Blacks embraced the expectation as they recorded their 18th straight win, we look at what it takes to excel in the face of sporting adversity using the help of sports psychologist and ex-England cricketer Jeremy Snape.To celebrate the release of Disney Marvels Doctor Strange on Tuesday, with the help of Sporting Edge founder Snape, we explore how sport stars use their mind to control the potential outcome and not the other way around?The first tee shot at the Ryder CupI have never felt as nervous over a golf shot as that first tee shot in The Ryder Cup at Celtic Manor. -- Rory McIlroySnape: The best golfers will pick out a patch of light on the fairway, or that patch of grass by a TV tower or something and aim for that rather than thinking of the hazards to avoid. They imagine a circle or hula-hoop around the ball and go through a number of considerations over what they are aiming for while they are standing outside it.Its only when they are 100 percent clear that they step into the imaginary circle around the golf ball that they are ready to hit the shot. They use counting techniques and breathing techniques to make sure theyre in the moment and theyre not thinking about the swing. That switches off the analytical part of the brain and the breathing techniques keep you in that moment so you are doing it instinctively rather than mechanically.Penalty shootoutSnape: We had an interesting experience with Crystal Palace with the penalty shootout. Part of it is doing your homework on the goalkeeper or some of it will be pressure testing yourself over what may derail you. The goalkeeper may try to put you off by throwing the ball away from you which gives you more time to think. Or the goalkeeper stands on his line and hands the ball to you so you have to fetch it.These are mind games so you want to be able to predict what they are and respond rationally to them rather than getting unsettled and emotional. You practise those in training. And you concentrate on your hitting your target -- so if the goalkeeper leaps like a salmon, you know you couldnt have done anymore.Rugby World Cup-winning kickSnape: When Jonny Wilkinson is kicking from the tee, the four or five steps back and the two steps to the left means he is going through a mental routine.Id be thinking there about you wanting to hit the target rather than worrying about the trophy. If the trophy comes in then you are either thinking about winning and the glory or missing and then you are distracted by thoughts of shame. This is where their thinking routines insulate them from the pressure. The kicker is aiming for someone behind the posts and looking to drop the ball on their lap. Your brain responds best to a specific target.Wimbledon Championships-winning serveSnape: Top players go and fetch the ball from the ball boy at the back of the court and count the steps back in their mind. There are two competing types of self-talk. On one hand you have, Oh its match point, Ive never won Wimbledon, this is massive, and theyre wondering whether theyre going to choke. This is a natural doubt but the champions create routines to treat it like its any other point and focus on the execution of their skills.Theyll count their steps to the back -- one, two, three -- ball please. Then one, two as the ball is bouncing, then theyll rotate the ball on their palm and while theyre spinning the ball around, thats their strategy time. Theyll be looking at a small mark on the court and aiming for that. When theyre 100 percent clear on that, theyll knock one back to the ball boy.Then when theyre bouncing the ball theyll probably have their own focus words like strong or clear -- theyre the key processes which bring their focus back to execution. When you see someone go off into their own world, thats the place theyve gone. They are trying to focus on their match point in exactly the same way that they approach their third serve in training on a Tuesday.The 100m Olympic finalSnape: Everyone will have their approach -- look at [1997 documentary] Living with the Lions, or something like that where you get an insight into the different styles in the changing room. There are those sitting, reading a programme while others are wrestling and some are being sick.Taking that onto the 100m track, is Usain Bolt nervous? Yes but the showmanship is probably his way of dealing with it -- the swagger is a way of dealing with it. Viv Richards spoke to me about that but then before his first Test match he fell down the stairs as his legs buckled with nerves. Top players over ride this feeling to make their rivals think they have everything under control, which can in turn make them doubt their own ability. Bob Griese Youth Jersey . Canada is now down to its 22-player limit, although but players wont be registered until Christmas Day. Changes could still be made as a result of a suspension or injury. Nat Moore Jersey . After a lengthy wait, persistent rain finally forced the postponement of the Nationals game against the Miami Marlins on Saturday night. The teams, and a few thousand fans, waited nearly four hours from the 7:05 scheduled start time before an announcement was made shortly before 11 p. http://www.dolphinsrookiestore.com/Dolphins-Dan-Marino-Jersey/ . -- Whether Jeremy Hill deserves a prominent role in LSUs offence this early in the season is a matter for debate. Custom Miami Dolphins Jerseys . On Saturday night, the normally free throw-challenged centre did just that. Howard scored 18 of his 25 points in the fourth quarter, including 13 of 19 free throws in a 2 1/2-minute stretch, and the Houston Rockets beat the Denver Nuggets 122-111. Mark Clayton Youth Jersey . John Lucas, signed as a mentor for rookie Trey Burke, showed he can score if required, scoring 12 points of his 16 points in the second quarter as Utah built an 18-point lead. The inaugural ELeague season finished with a classic grand final between Counter-Strike: Global Offensive teams Fnatic (FNC) and Virtus.pro (VP). FNC came into the final day of the league with the most momentum. From top to bottom, the lineup was firing on all cylinders. On the other end, VP finally made it to a grand final after an extended slump. It was anyones guess what kind of form they would be in.FNC chose Cobblestone for their first map, which is a map theyve routinely crushed due to their ability to isolate aim duels and execute great rushes on either bomb site. However, it was VP and not FNC that took advantage of the maps many angles. VP surprised many with an incredibly strong T-side and suffocated all FNC resistance.VP in-game leader Filip NEO Kubski was the star of the show. His calls on when to rush a specific bomb site were impeccable and his call outs on positioning were on the mark. The best part for VP fans was his carrrying ability.dddddddddddd NEO looked unstoppable as the driving force behind VPs attack when Pawe? byali Bieliński or Janusz Snax Pogorzelski struggled. The Poles would close out the first map, thought of as their opponents specialty, 16-10.The next map was VPs home turf, Mirage. On paper, the grand final was a wrap. VP are monstrous on this map; in fact, they are arguably the best team in the world on it. But FNCs resilience and legendary bounce-back ability made it a match. It was a close affair when the first half ended, but Snax took over in the second. He carried the majority of the fights and led in kills, but his clutch rounds were the most impressive. Snax helped his team return in a big way and allowed VP to essentially cruise to a victory and end the downturn that has haunted them for much of 2016. ' ' '
