The Hard 90 With Zach Sorensen

"Your infinite potential lies on the other side of your comfort zone."

Sean Casey

"Heart of a champion" is a phrase that refers to the qualities and characteristics that make someone a champion. Lets's focus in what is takes to be a champion and become a champion.

The heart of a champion is not measured by how many titles they've won or by the number of trophies on the wall. The heart of a champion is much deeper than that. It's the ability to rally a team together for a common goal. It's the ability to clearly define a goal and then achieve it.

I love to ask the question why. When you understand the why, you can believe in the why. When you believe in the why, you can execute with conviction.

What separates the good from the elite? The elite performer is constantly doing the things that he/she doesn't want to do. Commit to doing these things.

What does Yankees slugger Aaron Judge do in the middle of an at-bat when he is in "RED Light" or mentally compromised? Listen to him describe his red light RELEASE ROUTINE. 

What are the three steps to ownership?

Step 1 - Know it.

Step 2 - Do it.

Step 3 - Own it. 

What is your response when things get difficult? Do you see the negative in everything? Do you feel sorry for yourself? Try flipping the script. Hard times? Good. This may be the adversity that helps you turn the corner. Tough times makes for good opportunities.

No Blaming.

No Complaining.

No Defending.

Great rules to live by when working in a team environment.

What is your definition of mental toughness? Consider this definition... doing things that you don't want to do. 

The number one strategy I can give you to help you have self-control and discipline is to be where your feet are. Stay in the present moment, focusing on the present moment, right here, right now. When you find yourself getting pulled in another direction, get back to the present moment moment and lock into the now.
