"Today, when you guys go to lift and you go to practice, those are opportunities for you to get better. You're not going to win the national championship today. It's not being played today. But, you're going to put yourself in position to win it by what you do today." @JayBilas

5 Non-Negotiable Beliefs Every Clutch Athlete Needs: I've prepared for this moment Pressure is why I am here I belong here I grow from mistakes I control my response to everything Believe these, and you’ll thrive when it matters most. 💪 #ClutchPerformance #AthleteMindset

I was asked recently about setting goals with results or ranking attached to them and how it can increase pressure... That's the point, mate.... inspiredpeakperformance.com/…

I love this video of Conor McGregor… I love it because this is a good example of a world class sporting competitor claiming something that is (probably) a misrepresentation of what actually happened. I’m being bold, and hopefully not disrespectful to Conor, but let me explain… In the video, McGregor refers to ‘manifesting’ his knockout blow on Jose Aldo. The Law of Attraction he describes it as - see it, say it…and it will happen. The problem with this logic is that, if this were true, he’d win every fight. He’d simply see what he wanted, say what he wanted…and it would happen. Back in the real world, credit to him and his team during his training camp for working on what is called a contextual prior. Simply, they’ve studied Jose Aldo hard, they’ve found a specific movement pattern (probably an unconscious one) that they can exploit, and then they’ve created drills in training to practice exploiting that movement pattern. This analysis has built McGregor’s knowledge-of the fight he’s training for. You can see him practicing the move in th video below (even mimicking Aldo’s lumbering movement). Now, the training… This is where repetition is important in training…but a dynamic sense of repetition. This would likely start in an isolated activity in order to train an ‘action-for’ the movement bias. Then adding in more contextual factors such an opposing fighter who would fight in an Aldo style (giving McGregor the opportunity to develop knowledge-in the fight…for example, timing, what to do if he misses the punch and so on)… Actions-for Knowledge-of Knowledge-in Imagery or mental rehearsal can indeed play a big part in the learning process as fight night gets closer. To envision using multiple senses José Aldo’s movement patterns that present an opportunity to throw a right and knock him out. Such imagery or mental rehearsal can enhance actions-for, knowledge-of, and knowledge-in. But this alone is not enough. Intelligent, dynamic practice is vital.

“People didn’t love us for our wins. They loved us for the way we carried ourselves every single day. The way we played for one another, the joy we played with, the passion we played with, the competitive spirit we had, the way we high-fived and celebrated our teammates success,” Caitlin Clark #MarchMaddness @IowaWBB
