To have the mental resilience and control of a champion athlete.make your mental preparation as high a priority
as your physical preparation.

If you think you can win, you might.
if you know you can win, you will.

To elevate your state of focus or flow,
first give up your negative thought.
it will defeat you.

Next time you find yourself stuck or anxious,
slow things down and reestablish a rhythm.

How you view yourself will either boost or diminish your confidence.
greatness is in the eye of the beholder.

it reflects your highest aspirations.align your goals and priorities appropriately.

Use imagery and visualization to internalize success.
your brain doesn’t distinguish the difference between
the actual event and your movie.

It’s always damaging to personalize your setbacks.
unless you first learn to lose, you won’t appreciate how to win.

Next time you have a false start, remember this mantra ‘get back to zero.’
Do you have a mental training regiment?
REALLY REFLECT
