In sport, as in life, there’s no failure. Only feedback.
"I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games.
26 times, I've been trusted to take the game-winning shot and missed.
I've failed over and over and over again in my life.
And that is why I succeed" - Michael Jordan
Most athletes ask two things:
How can I get into a peak state?
What’s stopping me?
All sports mindset coaches teach visualisation for maximum performance. A golfer or a basketball player will see and feel the shot. The bodybuilder makes the pose. The weightlifter makes the lift. The marathon runner runs the course. Mentally rehearsing over and over again.
Why?
Because every time we visualise doing something, our neurons fire off as if we are actually doing it, and by the time competition day comes around, we have already won time and time again.
Where is your energy going? Are you rehearsing mentally as well as physically?
Are you aware of negative self talk? What story are you telling yourself?
Are you suffering from compare-itis? Remember … you are only in competition with yourself.
“Where attention goes, energy flows”
“ It was the most confident I’ve ever felt. I felt effortless posing and enjoyed my time on stage. My coach and friends / competitors were blown away with how calm and focused I was, and said it was the best they have ever seen me. You have taught me so many tools and techniques over our sessions. The mind is a hugely powerful thing and I’ve seen others in this sport crumble. A lot of physique athletes need your help so I will be spreading the word. Thank you once again for all your incredible support and work!” - Chris
