Is your athlete managing their EMOTIONAL storms?
When athletes learn to handle fear, doubt, nerves, and frustration, a SHIFT occurs.
They focus LESS on what’s happening outside of them and MORE on what’s happening inside.
Why? Because they see the TRUTH; the opponent is WITHIN.
As a 2X Olympian and Mental Toughness Coach, my most important job is helping athletes SCOUT that opponent, know that opponent INSIDE and OUT.
Then we strategize and put together a game plan.
Think about the WISDOM of this approach. Now your athlete is solving the RIGHT problem.
Sport is a series of storms, most of them are EMOTIONAL. And that's a PROBLEM.
Now your athlete understands where to put their attention; CALM the storm.
They recognize the storm brewing INSIDE. They see the opponent is THEMSELVES.
When uncomfortable emotions arise, they HANDLE them rather than being HANDLED. It's time to get a game plan and write a scouting report on your athlete's toughest opponent. Help your athlete CALM THE EMOTIONAL STORM.
CHANGE DOESN'T TAKE TIME. IT TAKES COURAGEOUS ACTION.
