Uncomfortable in Practice, Comfortable Competing

Brian Levenson, a mental performance coach and author of "Shift Your Mind," describes helpful mindsets in youth sports, including "uncomfortable in preparation, comfortable in performance" and "selfish in preparation, selfless in performance." His aim is to help athletes, teams and organizations unlock their potential by understanding and embracing these mindsets. The key is to focus on "strong skills," including communication, resilience and teamwork, he says.
