UNLEARN & RELEARN: Programming the Athlete’s Mind!
Mental toughness, focus, and anticipation are just a few mental strategies that the mind develops when playing sports. Sports also enhance specific regions of the brain and cause structural changes. Athletes have sharpened their minds to pay attention to the little details to better their game. The skills learned through sports benefit athletes throughout life and in the workforce.
ATHLETIC CAREER BUST: The Power of Negative Thinking!
Negative external or internal psychological factors can lead to mental blocks, causing breaks in focus and preparation, poor performance and, at times, injuries to the athlete. They can produce physical disruptions such as muscle tightening, shaking, and increased perspiration.
ATHLETIC SABOTEURS: What Did You Do That For?
What Is Sabotaging Your Performance? Thoughts lead to emotions which lead to bodily feelings which leads to performance and actions. Self-sabotage means as soon as we get close to success, something happens within us that pushes us back. Stop sabotaging yourself today!
THE BEDROCK OF COMMUNICATION: Meaning and Understanding!
Many studies have shown the benefits of good communication in competitive athletics. Players who know how to effectively interact with each other will work together better, forming a stronger overall team. However, learning to communicate one’s thoughts and feelings clearly and effectively without hurting or offending others can take time.
CROSSING THE BRIDGE: The Performance Gap!
If you know sport, you know this beyond a reasonable doubt: there is an average 10-12% performance gap between elite males and elite females. The gap is smaller between elite females and non-elite males, but it’s still insurmountable and that’s ultimately what matters. Is this true?
FIGHTING THE GOOD FIGHT!
Sports are mostly simple to understand; they all boil down into a meritocracy. Look at all the top athletes in the world. The highest-paid athletes are usually the best at what they do, and they justify the large paychecks that they receive. However, a meritocracy can go both ways; once athletes pass their prime or end their careers early due to injuries, they will ultimately lose their value in the sporting world.
