An untrained mind cannot accomplish anything of significant worth - and this is particularly true in sport. Trained in this Sportsmind sense is all about your ability to know what to focus on and pay attention to at any point in time, and the ability to maintain that concentration in the face of external pressures. This is mental toughness. The Sportsmind mental training manual helps you to achieve and unlock your full physical potential, as you learn and master the seven skills of the sports mind:
• Positive Self-Motivation
• Powerful Goal Achievement Strategies
• Emotional State Mastery
• Positive Mental Attitude
• Strong Concentration & Focusing Abilities
• Positive Self Image & Unshakeable Self Confidence
• Precision Visualisation Skills
Ive designed this work program to be an experiential learning - so while there will be specific techniques and tools which you can take and use in your specific sports contexts, the whole objective of my approach is that you will become a better athlete just by working through this sixty day program. You will find it a challenge, but I know you’re up for this challenge.
I suggest that you dont do more than one set of exercises per day, and that you do follow the order as I have designed it, since there is a logical progression built into the program.
The first two weeks are devoted to loosening the hold your current beliefs about yourself have over you, and replacing limiting beliefs with more positive, constructive beliefs. This forms the foundation of the program. From then on the program provides practical ways to implement the goal setting, motivation, state management, positive mental attitude, concentration, and positive self-image and visualisation principles and techniques detailed in the Sportsmind text book. The final couple of weeks of training provide some practice in advanced Sportsmind skills.
