'Our biggest opponent ....thought looking real to us' @Psych_Perform
A great example from Matt regarding the only aspect that actually keeps our 'mental game' at arms length, How much we believe any temporary thinking to be true?
What would create the most impact for you as an athlete? A thread.
Increased confidence?
Less tension?
More Flow?
Reduced anxiety?
Increased focus?
What if you could have all of them without implementing any complicated strategies?
Let me explain

The tiger is our pressure, tension, anxiety, screaming to be dealt with.
Now would you rather something to help you cope with the tiger in the room or the understanding that you can pull the door and walk out?
3/4
Finding your own truth of how your mind works creates the ultimate impact. We see through the beliefs that we have innocently created which keep that door closed.
When you’re ready to create the ultimate impact in your sport, we should talk.

I saw this quote the other day;
“The best things in life are not things.”
It keeps rattling around my head, in the lead up to Christmas I hope it does for you too.

When your last competition ends and off season begins… is it like a weight has been lifted?
Do you have a sense of freedom and possibility about what lies ahead?
That lightness doesn’t exist because of your circumstances, it’s the product of a settled mind.
