The Hard 90 With Zach Sorensen

Be A First Responder, Not A First Reactor

They are not called first reactors, but instead, first responders. Before you have an emotional response, assess the situation, gather information, and ask yourself what is the next best move.

Recognize Your Signal Lghts

Thank you Dr Ken Ravizza for teaches us the analogy of recognizing your signal lights as a way to maintain our emotional control.

Green = Dialed in

Yellow = Distracted

Red = Defeated

What Is My Next Best Move

Before you react to any situation, pause for a moment and ask - "What is my next best move?" 

I Would Be A Wristband Guy

If I were playing right now, I Would Be A Wristband Guy.  Changing wristbands help you to flip the switch.

Flip The Switch

How do you go from a tough event to a new event? Flip the switch. Be so in control of your emotions that you can flip the switch at any time to allow you to be your best.

The Gap Between Execution and Emotion

As we complete our mission, emotional reaction always follows. In between execution and emotions is a gap that needs to be mastered. It is here where you gather information and decide if you should go emotional. Master the gap!

The R Factor

In his book titled “Above the Line,” Urban Meyer uses a formula to discuss this topic. He says that E + R = O. The event that takes place, plus the way you respond to that event, equals the outcome. You can't control the event that is taking place, but you can always control the way you respond to it.

Always Look Good In Uniform

The toughest part of the well, better, how is recognizing things that you do well each day. There are some days that you do nothing well. That is why you always need to look good in uniform. At the very least, you can always look good.

Keep Your Jersey On - Take Your Jersey Off - Wash Your Jersey

Make sure you keep your jersey on until you complete your post game routine.  When you take your jersey off, you are ending your day. Wash your jersey to make sure it is fresh and ready for tomorrow. 

You Gotta Flush It

Whether it be good or bad, you have to flush each and every day. Each day is a new day, a new beginning, a fresh start.
