What is your response when things get difficult? Do you see the negative in everything? Do you feel sorry for yourself? Try flipping the script. Hard times? Good. This may be the adversity that helps you turn the corner. Tough times makes for good opportunities.

No Blaming.

No Complaining.

No Defending.

What is your definition of mental toughness? Consider this definition... doing things that you don't want to do. 

The number one strategy I can give you to help you have self-control and discipline is to be where your feet are. Stay in the present moment, focusing on the present moment, right here, right now. When you find yourself getting pulled in another direction, get back to the present moment moment and lock into the now.  

It is the start that stops most people. Movement will always begin the building of momentum. Have a narrow focus with a goal of winning one play at a time. It is the stacking victories that will lead to the momentum that will help you to be unstoppable. 

How Do You Stop Their Momentum? Focus on yourself.  Stay in the present moment, control what you can control, and win one play at at time. 

How do yo gain momentum? How do you find yourself controlling the perceived momentum in the game. How can you stop the momentum of the other team?
