What Is All This Talk About Momentum

How do yo gain momentum? How do you find yourself controlling the perceived momentum in the game. How can you stop the momentum of the other team?

It's Easy To Stay Disciplined When You Are Struggling

Most of my athletes come to me looking for help when they are struggling. As long as they are unsatisfied with their performance, they will continue to work the mental game.  When things start to go good, often they forget the mental game and neglect to train it.

Non-Judgemental Thoughts

It's Not About Talent

It's not about talent. Why? Everyone has talent at the elite level. You need GRIT. Grit is passion and sustained persistence applied toward long-term achievement, with no particular concern for rewards or recognition along the way. It combines resilience, ambition, and self-control in the pursuit of goals that take months, years, or even decades.

What Is Your Story

There is no good or bad without us. It is only an event. What makes it good or bad is the story that you tell yourself.  You are in control of the story that you tell yourself. Make sure that the story you are telling yourself is serving you.
