Abstract

 
 
 This article explains, from the perspective of neuroscience, why it is so difficult to change negative habits and particularly a player ́s behaviour when making mistakes.
 
 
Highlights
A habit is formed in the brain as a response to a behaviour that is regularly repeated
When negative emotions begin to surface, though sometimes unnoticeably, the rate of breathing accelerates, the brain receives less oxygen and toxins accumulate in the neurons
Cleaner and better breathing and more well-nourished neurons lead to better thinking
Summary
A habit is formed in the brain as a response to a behaviour that is regularly repeated. A thought become mechanic, a hypothetical trail is left in the brain When this stroke or negative thought has to be changed, each time a shot is made for example, the brain is being required to cross the mountain through the dense forest, which implies an effort and energy expenditure (Bacharach, 2014). It is essential for a person to be able to possess a strong commitment, work, discipline and dedication to be able to modify a behaviour This activates the part of the brain which is receptive to new challenges through that motivation which activates the left prefrontal cortex and the reward circuits of the brain, which increase the desire and perseverance to change (Goleman, 2011). The actions or inactions of any given day, and on which attention is being focused upon, have an effect on the wiring of the brain, and on how a person will respond automatically to different stimuli
