#17 - Importance of Self Talk - winning the mental game -
Our call to action for athletes - DON’T IGNORE THIS CONVERSATION! You have to do the mental work. Learn about self talk, recognize when what you tell yourself is not helping, RESET, and choose a different story. Become accountable to yourself and also to your teammates. If you notice them being hard on themselves, invite them to reset. "I can do this." Or "I don’t have this, YET." Do the mental preparation, visualize how you would like it to go. Then practice that.
Top 3 Takeaways
1. Awareness of 1st thought, in control of our 2nd thought and choose to make it affirmative
2. Notice the opportunity to practice. Hold yourself and your teammates accountable. Don’t say that to yourself, choose positive self talk.
3. Speak kindly, show up as our best selves. Parents be the model for this behaviour!
