Overthinking is so common in athletes.

spending more time thinking about something than is useful, wastes time, leads to worry and doubt, makes it hard to be present and can impact performance training, learning mechanisms, recall and all levels areas of performance.

Overthinking often makes most situations more difficult because the brain freezes or hesitates rather than relaxes and executes.

Interestingly, overthinking can be a protective mechanism in overdrive which is one reason why simply trying to stop is doesn’t usually work.
