How Reset Ready Are You Under Pressure?

Find Out What’s Impacting You The Most

Most athletes train their skills but may not learn how to read the signals before things get off track. This quiz helps you catch where your energy leaks, stress builds, or performance dips so you can start resetting faster when stress hits.

SECTION 1: SYSTEM TRIGGERS.

Check all that apply.

I freeze or hesitate after making a mistake.

I rush or force things when I feel behind.

I overthink during games, even when I’m prepared.

I lose rhythm after feedback or corrections.

I shut down when I feel judged by teammates, coaches, or parents.

I second-guess myself even when I know what to do.

I avoid taking risks when I feel watched or evaluated.

I carry stress from earlier in the day into practices or games.

I replay mistakes long after the game is over.

I feel physically or mentally drained after competing — even when I didn’t play much.

I absorb the moods or energy of my teammates, coaches, or parents.

I have trouble sleeping the night before or after a big game or tournament.

I keep practicing in my head even when I’m supposed to be resting.

I have a hard time relaxing — even when the game is done.

SECTION 2: ENERGY DRAINERS

Check all that apply.

SECTION 3: RESET GAPS

Check all that apply.

I don’t bounce back quickly from mistakes.

I can’t tell when I’m tightening up until it’s too late.

I try to calm down during games, but nothing actually works.

I avoid talking about mistakes because it makes me spiral more.

I’ve been told to “focus” or “move on,” but I don’t really know how.

I replay conversations with coaches or teammates in my head instead of resetting.

I lose confidence during games and can’t find my way back.

Now Let’s Break Down Your Reset Readiness

Step 1:Count the total number of checkboxes you selected across all 3 sections.

  • 0–5 boxes: Reset Ready, Strong Foundation. Your system is steady under pressure. You’ve got solid instincts and good self-regulation. Try tracking what works on your best days and log your personal best resets.

  • 6–12 boxes: You’re Aware, But Gaps Exist. You’re starting to see where and when things go sideways, but don’t always have the tools to catch it fast. Focus on building your recovery strategy quickly. Simple breathwork or movement resets can go a long way.

  • 13+ boxes: System Overload, Time to Rewire. You’re not NOT good enough. You’ve just been operating in stress mode without a reset system that works for you. Learning how to shift from survival mode to performance mode would be helpful. Start with one small shift at a time.

Step 2: Look at Section Patterns

Your section scores reveal where your system struggles most.

If most of your checks were in Section 1, you might be struggling with in the moment pressure. Mistakes and judgement throw off your rhythm. You’ll benefit from tools that help with pre-performance energy tuning and in game stabilizers.

If most of your checks were in Section 2, you’re likely carrying stress long after your competition or even practice ends. This can impact mood sleep and long term performance. It’s a definite energy drain. Focus on post game recovery, and emotional unwinding techniques.

If most of your checks were in Section 3, you may be missing a system for recovery and reset. You know something’s off, but don’t know what to do. Start with body based resets like breathwork, movement, and visual anchors.
