Every sport is beginning to look at how to build Mental Toughness and make sure their athletes are resilient. Commentators mention it much more than just a few years ago no matter what you are watching. Well, I’m here to answer the BIG questions when it comes to mental toughness and resilience and what impact mental training truly has on your athlete’s performance.  Let’s go on the Journey together!!!

Solved Mystery

For decades, the mystery of peak performance was unsolved. Coaches, athletes, trainers wanted to know…

·       Why do some athletes reach their potential and others don’t?

·       Why do some athletes crave challenges and others shy away?

·       Why do some athletes crumble under pressure while others thrive?

·       Why do some athletes bounce back from failure and others implode?

Why Discover Your Weaknesses

Learn to be positive about your weaknesses!  It is vital to not attach too much negativity to your weaknesses.  Through some self-awareness training you should be diligent and understand these areas so you can begin to utilize them for your benefit.  For instance, if you find that you focus too much on the details and need extra time in making decisions then acknowledging this fact as quickly as you can will start your process towards making more effective decisions.  Let us reposition those weaknesses and leverage them for our good! 

Where to Start

The key is to start by not hesitating to actively seek and address our perceived weaknesses!  Do not make excuses with this one...by being open and honest and treating our strengths and weaknesses equally then we are going to make great strides towards the Mindset of a Champion.  While there are numerous tools to help you determine your weaknesses, try starting by listing what you believe them to be first then look for many online resources to see where you stand.

Sometimes we tell ourselves if we just try harder or push through it will somehow become a strength. The truth is we don’t have to be good at everything. Listen to your heart. If it is something you love you will learn to do it well, but obligation does not mean it will be a strength.
