🔥 Did you know that the perfect time to implement mental skills training is during the off-season?

🔥 This is because competition schedules are low and athletes tend to have more time to invest in increasing the volume of these skills. The best part is that it will help them as they prepare for preseason!

🔥The ability for athletes to understand how to apply self-awareness and self-regulation skills in not only their athletics, but also in school, work and relationships is key!

🔥 Summer sessions are open for teams, clubs, camps and individual athletes!

Sometimes we all need this reminder! Your brain is always listening to what you tell yourself…and your brain will believe whatever you tell yourself!

Try to speak to yourself with kindness and compassion, just like you would to a friend or teammate!

Do you have a tournament this weekend? If so, this post is for you!!

Tournaments are fun but present several elements outside an athlete’s control—travel, multiple daily games, weather, eating on the road, etc.

Many of these elements could cause an athlete to feel stressed and impact their performance.

If you have an upcoming tournament, consider following these strategies to help you stay mentally prepared!!

Most importantly….HAVE FUN!!

This quote from Ken Ravizza is spot on!

Athletes often try to adjust elements within their performance, like emotional control or regulation, but neglect to work on control outside of sport.

Learning to enhance self-awareness will assist an athlete in understanding more about themselves and how they respond to certain environments and triggers. Getting that data can then help them learn more about how to self-regulate and what doesn’t work for them. That final step of controlling performance occurs after the athlete has put in the work of self-discovery.

Hey Athlete!

How you carry yourself affects how you feel and how you perform! Body language directly impacts athletes on numerous levels.

Strong Body Language = Confidence

✅ Shoulders back, head high
✅ Quick, powerful movements
✅ Controlled breathing

Weak Body Language = Self-Doubt

❌ Slumped posture
❌ Avoiding eye contact
❌ Making yourself small

Athletes of all ages and experience levels should be incorporating mental skills training PROACTIVELY, instead of waiting for an issue to arise!

Think of it being similar to prehabilitation exercises to prevent injury! Athletes spend time developing and training their body for performance, which is what should also be done with their mind!

Adding these mental skills as part of their program helps ENHANCE SELF-AWARENESS AND SELF-REGULATION, which helps athletes implement coping strategies proactively!

Most people only see the tip of the iceberg for an injured athlete- how the athlete acts, what the athlete says, the physical limitations, and the work they’re putting in for their comeback. Many times an athlete is adhering to their rehab, showing up for classes, and saying they’re fine, but they could be struggling below the surface.

-Fear of re-injury
-Pressure to come back fast
-Loss of identity
-Mental exhaustion
-Isolation

Injury doesn’t only impact an athlete physically; it also impacts their psychological well-being.

An injured athlete needs to validate their feelings and experiences. It is just as important for the athlete’s support system to recognize these components.
