LONGING and DISCONTENT: The Discomfort of Your Comfort Zone – A feeling of community is at the core of sports, where fans turn when times are tough. Most athlete’s personal stories include an awakening, where an athlete realizes a love for a sport and resolves to excel in that sport. Their zeal drives them to train and practice long hours each day. They forsake everything else for the cause. Have you ever wondered what motivates such dedication…is it longing, discontent or a little of both?

THE ATHLETE’S STATEMENTS: Values, Purpose & Mission – When you develop and write your personal statements, you examine and evaluate the things you want, the person you are, the things you want to do, and the person you want to become. You compare that against the things you've done, and the things you value most, and come up with a clear idea of who you want to be going forward in and beyond your athletic career.

WHO ARE YOU: Building a Strong and Authentic Sense of Self – Having a strong athletic identity often leads to a strong sense of self and sureness of who you are. Individuals who highly value the athletic component of the self are more likely to engage in and exercise self-building behavior than those who place less value on the athletic component of self-identity.

WHEN PRIDE GOES WRONG – Pride is a symptom of wrong thinking. We think that the things that give us an elevated opinion of ourselves are a result of our own doing. Ignore the symptom of pride too long and we are headed for a nasty fall. The more we stand out (in our appearance, personality, intellect, position, accomplishments, and ability), the more susceptible we are to pride. We possess something that compels us to think we are above others. Even the realization that we have appeared to be humble has a way of making us prideful!

– Both offensive behavior and defensive behavior can involve the use of force and aggression; the difference lies in how that force or aggression is used in and outside of athletic competition.

– The Law of Attraction in sports is another piece of the mind, body, and soul holistic wellness equation. The mind is incredible – and quite frankly infinitely – powerful. The Law of Attraction states that what we think/feel/believe is what we become. The concept is based on energy and the fact that everything is energy – your thoughts, emotions, belief, actions, words, etc. This is the primary reason why athletes develop mental toughness; it is imperative to remove any and all limitations.

– The key ingredient that separates champions from everyone else is not talent or ability. It’s not simply a work ethic because a lot of athletes are willing to work hard. It’s not better coaching or training opportunities. The crucial difference that makes a difference in determining how successful you’ll be in both sports and life has to do with one word: FAILURE. How you handle your failures, setbacks, and mistakes will ultimately determine whether you soar with the eagles or gobble with the turkeys. Within your failures, you’ll always find the seeds to your success.
