How do i not cringe while playing basketball?

I play basketball, and im a center. whenever i try and make a move in the post and i get a little contact, i instinctively close my eyes. ive been trying to practice not to, but is there anyway to correct this bad habit?How do i not cringe while playing basketball?
All about getting used to that contact, to be honest the best way to get past it would be to get hit fair hard in post and realise that you can take it but not somthing you can make happen haha, keep at it in training, practice practise practiseHow do i not cringe while playing basketball?
I dont think this problem will go away instantly, it is a natural reaction and is instinct. However if you keep playing, you will get used to it and will not cringe anymore, like in soccer when the ball comes at someones head they learn to control it rather than move.How do i not cringe while playing basketball?
You sound like you're afraid to get hurt, gotta learn not to be.
