From Rounders to Bracket: Staying Consistent Under Pressure | Live Coaching with Matt

Why do some players throw lights out in rounders—only to lose their rhythm in bracket play? In this live coaching session, Michelle Thompson works with Matt Girdner on the mental side of consistency. Matt explains how he feels in control and “in flow” during rounders, but once bracket play starts, pressure, adrenaline, and self-doubt creep in. Together, they uncover how to: * Anticipate the pressure shift between rounders and bracket * Use resets before the first throw to avoid spiraling * Reframe mistakes so one bag doesn’t dictate the game Manage the fear of “letting others down” * Play with confidence no matter who’s watching If you’ve ever struggled to bring your best game when it matters most, this conversation is for you. 🔹 Struggling with nerves or focus?
