Quick Tip: Managing Yourself And Your Energy What we are focusing on in this quick tip is focusing on you managing yourself and your energy.

Meditation Eat Well - Proper Nutrition Train for your sport Focus on your goals Hydrate Rest Affirmations Quick Tip: Foundations Are Key There are two most important areas you must be working on in your sport. Your technical skills Your mental skills They both work hand in hand. There are 2 Challenges I have set for you; Choose a technical skill that you are weak at or avoid and work on it for 10 minutes per day. Choose a mental skill that you are weak at or avoid and work on it for 10 minutes per day. Work on both of these skills for 30 days and share the results with me after that time. Quick Tip: Essential Habits More than ever I believe that this is the time you must redefine your habits that will help you strive forward rather than having habits that leave you floundering in fear, anxiety, stress, sad or depressed. We don't want to be floundering! It's time to get back and re-focus! This is what I want you to do! Identify all the habits you have developed in lockdown. For each habit ask the question - does this habit move me closer or further away from any goal? (if answer is further away - eliminate the habit) (if answer is toward - keep the habit) What new habits can you implement to get you closer to your goal? Quick Tip: Overcoming The Roadblocks We have all been thrown the biggest challenge we have had to face in our lifetime thus far with the Coronavirus (Covid-19). It has been a surreal time. However this will not be the only challenge, obstacle or roadblock you will face in your life. There will always be more obstacles, roadblocks and challenges that will be thrown at you therefore we want to work through each one and never let any of them hold us back. And this is the series of questions I want you to ask yourself each time you are thrown a roadblock, challenge or obstacle. What are the roadblocks, challenges or obstacles that are in your way right now? For each roadblock, challenge or obstacle brainstorm ideas how you can overcome them. What are the action steps you will put in place to overcome the roadblock, challenge or obstacle? What days will you work on these throughout your week? Quick Tip: Grinding It Out When I say Grinding It Out I am not referring to grinding out the lockdown or guiding you through the restrictions. What I am talking about here is doing the work.

The hardest part in anything that you do is "the work". Here is how you want to approach Grinding It Out; Pick 6 areas in your sport that will move you closer to accomplishing your big sports dream.

However here are the 3 main actions steps you can work on in taking control of your emotions. Positive Phrases when you compete - what are positive phrases you can use when you are competing?

Quick Tip: Being Consistent Being consistent is one of the major keys to being successful. Especially with how you operate as a person and as an athlete. What can you be consistent with? Your practise Your training Your technical skills Your mental skills Your nutritional system Your belief system And when you are consistent, that regularity compounds over time to give you the results you are wanting.
