An Effective Mental Practice For Your Nerves

2017-09-28T19:01:19+08:00

I have one more tool that is going to help you deal with your difficult emotions and that is what I call, “The AND World”. What does this mean?  “AND” means “I can be scared.” “I can be nervous.”  You can even say that,   “I can be angry.” You know when you got a bad call or a non call that should’ve been called by the opponent. So anger can sometimes create interference because you are too angry to even play smart. You end up fouling or getting off your strategy of what you are supposed to do out there because [...]

What Happens To Your Brain During Sports Training Or Competition?

2017-09-28T20:34:45+08:00

Your goal as an athlete: To get rid of the mental baggage, the junk, all the negativity, and all the things that basically hold you back and slow you down.  Let’s take the analogy of a ship going across the ocean.

Formula For Confidence: The Important Piece

2017-09-28T19:33:13+08:00

Next item on our list is CONSISTENCY. Consistency is the gold of performers. You have done something once successfully, you want to that again and again. Too many athletes are so deep in the, “I need to fix what’s wrong!” Coaches talk about this all the time. That’s fine, but it needs to be balanced in 10-1 with, "I want to repeat what I do well and I know how to do." That is how you are going to compete. That is how you are going to perform your best in competition. Again, I just want to give you another concept [...]
