Unlocking Peak Performance

Most of my athletes come to me looking for help when they are struggling. As long as they are unsatisfied with their performance, they will continue to work the mental game.  When things start to go good, often they forget the mental game and neglect to train it. Stay disciplined work the mental game, when things are going good as well. Make it who you are. 

Stay locked in on the current day. Stay focused on the present moment. Don't look to the finish line, but instead, work on making every day and every moment count. 

The goal is to stay consistent with your efforts.  To compete from the first pitch to the last, first play to the final whistle, one play at a time. Stay locked in with a laser focus on pitch by pitch execution.

Narrow your focus.  Aim small, miss small. Be precise with your actions, focused on your task at hand, in the present moment. 

How and when will you attack your opponent? What is your game plan? What is your strategy? Without a strategy, you will just be using hope and hope is not a plan or a strategy. 

When you compete, you need to do so in a powerful way.  We want to be know as powerful competitors, who bring a powerful presence to the playing field. Listen to this episode to learn how to become more powerful in your competitive spirit.

When you go to battle, you need to understand your purpose.  What is your why? What is your motive? What is your purpose? When things get tough or difficult, you can call upon or lean into your purpose to help you get through the tough times. 

What do you do to hold yourself accountable? What do you do to maintain your self-control and discipline? Listen to what Michael Cuddyer used to do to remind him to stay locked in each and every game.

What do you do to flip the switch to get yourself into compete mode? Use a physical action to remind yourself that it's "go time." 

So often we look to how we feel to lead us to believe how we are going to perform. Remember - feelings aren't facts.  Act differently than you feel. If you commitment is greater than your feelings, you will get results.
