Competing/living at a high level starts with self awareness and how your thoughts directly impact your emotions/reactions.
We call it the “mental game” but it’s not a game. The way you work on your mentality wires your thoughts, emotions and reactions. It’s not a game, it’s the most important work you can do on yourself as a person and competitor.

There are no hacks when it comes to high-performance psychology or mastery. There are no shortcuts to being your very best. There is just the commitment to the practice of the skills that sit underneath of it. It's a project of a lifetime.

Success will always require sacrifices...choose ones you can live with. Sacrifice your time - not your family or your health. Be intentional about the things you want to keep, and the things you need to drop - or fate will make those decisions for you.

With age I realize more and more it’s really not about competing with others but more about competing with myself. If you’re constantly looking for ways to improve and living out your values things tend to fall into place.

It wasn’t the strikeout or bad call that threw you off your game, it was the thoughts you had associated with those events. Build that self awareness and gain control of your game.

Wednesday it will be two years since Kobe passed. Been reading the Mamba Mentality and Im I’m in awe of how intense & intentional the Mamba was and how locked in he was with the mental game. I just want to break down some of the mental skill strategies he used ⬇️

Kids just want to know they’re on the right path. It means so much more coming from their coach than their parent. Tell them you believe they’ll make varsity, play in college or get drafted. Tell them. They’ll remember their coach believing in them the rest of their lives.

The commitment to your routine of preparation is a constant with high level performers. There are always a thousand reasons to get away from the routine, but the best ignore them and stick with their defined process. Whatever it takes to get your mind & body prepared to compete.

Preach. You gotta meet athletes where they are. It starts with connection and showing interest in their world. Then it’s about connecting your approach as a coach, with how they learn best.
Coaches talking about attention spans, quitter mentalities and how this generation is different… Be a good enough coach to get and keep their attention. Be a nurturing enough coach so they don’t want to quit when it gets tough. It’s this generation of coaches, not the kids.

This new year make a point to do the things that make you uncomfortable. Don’t let confidence, expectations, or fear of failure stop you from taking action. Focus on the process, not the results and remember growth is on the other side of comfort.

That’s such a place of empowerment for an athlete when they learn to educate themselves. A coach can guide you in the right direction but ultimately your growth depends on you.
You play your entire career, a coach only coaches you for a moment of it. Educate yourself on how to be your best coach for your entire career.

Working to improve your skills is always a good idea. But maybe the most important skill to develop is your ability to trust yourself and know that you can compete well when you are not at your best. Most of your time competing will be without your “A” game. Trust is a skill.

Hitters and pitchers on the same team, share information. My greatest learning sessions was during BP shagging in RF with our bullpen guys. No agenda, just talking the game. Some days strategy, some days angles, they learned my mindset and I learned theirs. Cont.—->
