“Target fixation” – this is a term often heard in motorcycle safety courses. It refers to what can happen to a rider when he or she focuses their vision on a particular object. What happens is that they will start directing their bike towards that object, whether it be debris on the road, the curb, or another rider, they end up risking crashing into that object. Target fixation is a natural part of our physiology. In the safety course, we are trained to look at where we want to go. The same is true when your training, except we need to see with your “mind’s eye” or with your thoughts.
If you think you can’t do something or you think you can’t do any more reps, that’s a form of target fixation. You will be setting yourself up to fail. If you can shift that mindset towards “looking to where you want to go” like telling yourself to keep going or to just hold on a bit longer, guess what, you will probably be able to squeeze in a bit more of a performance, and at the very least, you’ll be giving yourself a better chance of success.
