A few weeks ago at one of my IronTribe PRIME Check-ins, Coach Austin & I talked about being prepared for all things. As someone who LOVES being so prepared it blows your mind at how on top of my A-Game I am, I was failing in being prepared nutritionally.
Out of town and out of my normal routine, I noticed I was eating out more with new friends, after E’s baseball games and even skipping meals then realizing I was fantasizing about throat punching traffic which led to wheeling into a fast food option. While I still made decent choices AT those places, there’s only so much good you can get when it’s pre-made and fast.
So, one of my action steps was to get a cooler JUST for my car that I could make and take with me. Then, when those hangry moments hit, I had options. Planned ahead, prepared, anticipated, ready, better, OPTIONS.
I wasn’t expecting to donate a couple hours of my life to the tire store today, but a late night nail in my tire stranded at a gas station, demanded I pivot.
So, after work appointments, here I am. And yes, it’s lunch time and it’s been a long time since the protein pancakes I had at 8am. BUT… because I committed to being more intentional and prepared nutritionally, it’s not a problem. I have options.
I have a necessary sparkling water, banana and a protein bar. Solid snack.
Options are great, and can make life run more smoothly. Options can increase self-confidence. Options can create margin, that in turn increases our capacity to navigate the unexpected.
It’s a BIG year for our rising high school junior athletes… options are going to be a game changer for your mental game & recruiting. But if you’re not committed and intentional, you will not have options.
Text: “OPTIONS” to 615-517-6900 and I’ll send you our “How to maximize your options during recruitment” pamphlet.
I will say the BEST way to maximize your options, next to visibility, is NAILING DOWN your mental game. If you’re not actively engaged in training your mind, you can’t expect Elite Performance and without it, your options will be limited.
We’ve got this!! There’s time! But the clock is ticking!! LET’S GOOO!
