#44: Building a Powerful Mindset with Tom Foxley
Coach Tom Foxley is the Founder of Mindset Rx`d and helps athletes perform at their best both physically and mentally. He`s worked with athletes at the highest levels of the CrossFit Games, Jiu Jitsu, boxing, and others, so we had a great time diving deep into building a powerful mindset, dealing with pain, and ending self-sabotage.
Max Out Insights:
Your performance comes down to your story - the beliefs you have about yourself and the world. Limiting beliefs sabotage your ability to succeed when it matters most
If you`re struggling mentally at crunch time, it`s because you haven`t addressed it outside of crunch time. If you want to be great it competition, you need to prepare to be great in practice.
Competing from a place of lack/not being good enough can derail our performance. Instead, switch to a place of gratitude for past performance. Focus on the skills/talents/opportunities that you do have rather than the ones you don`t, and you will see your motivation soar
When you`re lost in the woods (metaphorically or literally), don`t start by asking “Where should I go?” Instead ask first: “Where am I? What`s my point A?” Then: “Where am I going?”
What is your story? I`m not good enough? I never manage to do this? I`m a perfectionist?
Observe your Inner Athlete/your subconscious beliefs: Journaling is a great tool to identify what`s on your mind. If there`s something you don`t want to write, write it down immediately to shine light on the shadows.
We tend to reject chaos because it scares us, but it`s also the only way to grow
Max Out Quotes:
“If we put you in the right state, optimal performance just happens.”
“If we can create harmony amongst the different areas of our lives, our performance just steps up in the areas that you want it to.”
“The way we grow is by moving from order to chaos and thereby increasing our areas of competence.”
“Chaos is just order waiting to be deciphered.”
“When the gratitude for the things you do have outweighs the yearning for the things you don`t have, that`s when you`ll feel good.”
“It`s in the darkness that we find the biggest treasure. To find out what you`re truly capable of, you need to venture into the unknown.”
