Unlocking Peak Performance

Let's Talk About Concentration

This week we will talk about concentration and how to regain their focus when concentration is lost during competition.

How To Get Out Of A Slump

You focus on thoughts during the competition, such as:
“Here we go again.”
“Just when I thought things couldn’t get any worse.”
“Another loss heading my way.”
When you become aware of how your habitual thoughts and expectations are hurting your performance, you can start consciously replacing those thoughts with positive, enhancing thoughts.

Get Ready To Compete

What do you need to do to make sure you are ready to compete?
1. Get yourself into your ideal performance state.
2. Get into the present moment
3. Test your readiness compared to baseline.

Practice Mindset

“Practice as if its competition, but compete as if its practice.”
Meaning - every day matters.

I Felt The Competition

Finish the sentence:
“I felt the competition - and it felt ___________.” 
Our goal is for it to feel really good.  You sink to the level of your training. Slow everything down so it feels under control.

Flashlight Or Hammer

Do you evaluate your game with a flashlight or a hammer? It's time to start using a flashlight.

Confidence

Hardiness, high sense of self-belief, self-efficacy, and trust.

Growth Mindset

An individual with a growth mindset has a willingness to learn. This individual has a vision of continual growth and consistent development.

Positivity

Individuals with mental toughness tend to master or show signs of being able to deal with anxiety and maintain a positive outlook on their abilities, performance, and future in their skill.

Perseverance

Many studies show that individuals who experience success give credit to overcoming adversity and learning from past failures. On the contrary, individuals that struggle with mental toughness, dwell on weaknesses and let failures define them. Perseverance is the capacity to bounce back or recover from such major adversities or challenges.
