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!!!
What Are They Thinking?
I work a ton with parents of amateur athletes and often while watching some of their performances the parents like to ask me, “What are they thinking…?” The response is typically they are thinking about a whole lot of ineffective thoughts that are not producing the right results. The parent will proceed to say “My Kid Is In Their Head!”
I like to work with athletes and parents alike that thinking is not all bad because you just don’t really turn your thinking brain off. You can however pre-plan your thoughts and have effective thoughts that are task specific. When we actually give ourselves permission to think that alleviates some anxiety and then we fill that space with Productive and Purposeful thoughts!
How To Overcome?
If you’ve identified thinking is not all bad then you are well on your way. Next steps will include the following:
·Explore the poor thoughts
·Create new thoughts that are fact based
·Visualize success
·Keep track of performances when
Solve The Mental 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?
