Many parents do not understand the work it takes.

Please share this with every youth athlete you know!

This is my son Jack in the picture, but I've encouraged all 3 of my kids to read these 28 mindsets, approaches, and affirmations as often as possible:

1. I strive to play well, not to avoid mistakes.

2. I focus on the process (footwork & form), not the outcome (makes & misses).

3. I work on my game during The Unseen Hours.

4. I Play Present and focus on the play right in front me (the one that just happened).

5. I display confident body language, even when I don’t feel confident.

6. I quickly move to the Next Play after a turnover, missed shot, or a bad call.

7. I use encouraging self-talk to coach myself through challenging situations.

8. I focus on what I can control and let everything else go.

9. I trust my abilities, talents, and preparation.

10. I embrace adverse conditions.

11. I am not afraid to fail… it’s part of the process.

12. I acknowledge that how I think affects how I feel and how I perform.

13. I visualize myself playing well before every practice and game.

14. I listen to (and trust) my coaches.

15. I am the teammate I want to play with.

16. I welcome pressure situations because I know I am prepared.

17. I practice (and work out) with the intensity and focus of a game.

18. I am calm when things feel chaotic.

19. I don’t let physical fatigue cause mental fatigue.

20. I am comfortable being uncomfortable.

21. I think like a champion daily. A consistent mind creates consistent performance.

22. I visualize success: I see it, I feel it, and I believe it.

23. I have a consistent pre-practice and pre-game routine.

24. I embrace challenges and obstacles as opportunities.

25. I compete every play and I compete every day.

26. I learn from every mistake and every loss.

27. I work on my mental and physical skills every day.

28. I love hard work and I take pride in doing difficult things well.

NOTE: nearly every one of these mindsets, approaches, and affirmations can be used by adults as well!

"I am a member of a team, and I rely on the team, I defer to it and sacrifice for it, because the team, not the individual, is the ultimate champion."

[Coach AJ 🎯 Mental Fitness @coachajkings]

@thewinningdiff1 Great reminder that you don't have to be a captain to be a leader.

Leadership is about action.

It's about your behavior, not your title. People follow actions, not intentions.
