Champion Mindset

Being a champion is a lifestyle…not a part-time job.
You got to have
…a twinkle in your eye
…an ambition in your heart
…and discipline in your teeth to be focused at being the best you can be.

It’s about becoming the best you can be and, thus, becoming a champion in sports and all walks of your life.
 
That's why I believe that sport is played with the body, but won in the mind.

As a result, I get really excited to share with you the tools and habits to be who you are, to never doubt your ability and to excel in your desired dreams.

To get started, I believe that understanding your motivation is the foundation for excellence. To jump start your motivation, take a moment and answer the following questions:

• What do you love about your sport?
• When you first started your sport, what aspects did you enjoy the most (courage to push limits, spending time with teammates)?
  
• Today, what is it that gets you so excited that you want to keep excelling?
  

If you look at your answers there are a variety of internal and external reasons of why you enjoy your sport. Those who excel at the highest level, athletes like Shaun White, Carli Llyod and Micheal Phelps, speak to the important role that fun, joy and passion plays in freeing them to excel.

As you review your answers, remember to connect to the bigger reasons of why you do what you do. These deep, internal motives allows us to have more control and confidence in our athletic, and life, pursuits. When we have control and confidence, we begin to see all the choices that lead to the path of performance and personal excellence.
