ATHLETES: Your playing days are numbered. It is a short window, and there are no guarantees. Make the most of these years! Live with No Regrets. Here are 7 ways to do that... 1: Pass the MIRROR Test Can you look at the “Man/Women” in the Mirror and tell them you gave it your all? If you can do this each day, you have passed the Mirror Test. Give your BEST Effort. Pass the Mirror Test and live with No Regrets! 2: Accept Coaching Be coachable. You can always get better. You always have room for improvement. Accept coaching. Every coach teaches you something. Sometimes it will be good. Sometimes, it may not be good. But, accept coaching and learn, grow, and live regret-free. 3: Earn Confidence Athletes EARN the right to be proud and confident. Put in the time. Commit. Be Proud. When you do this, you believe you are in control of the outcome. 4: No Skipped Workouts Daily Habits Win. You can’t work out some of the time. Set a schedule. Have a plan.
