[Laken James @lakenjames5]

Too often, athletes hear feedback from a coach and immediately get defensive or make excuses…

Instead, pause and ask yourself: What are they trying to teach me? What can I learn from this?

Being coached isn’t the same as being criticized.

Listen, learn, and level up 🌟

Check out the Triple Threat Newsletter from last week ⬇️⬇️🌟

A great tool for you to use with your team! This week we will be talking about BODY LANGUAGE 😁🫣

[Laken James @lakenjames5]

“Research presents the harsh reality that less than 1% of young athletes between 6-17 years of age achieve elite levels in sport (e.g., basketball, soccer, baseball, softball, or football) [14].

Ironically, as argued above, often the sole focus of talent development is to develop young people to become elite athletes rather than being elite in life. Consequently, we question whether psychological development should be focused on the 1% of elites or the other 99% of athletes that do not make it to the next level.”

Check out my research paper presenting why we should focus on developing athletes as ELITE people and then ELITE athletes 💪🏼

If writing #HabitsofHappyAthletes has taught me anything, it’s the power of gratitude.

I’ve been holding out on buying a gratitude journal until I found the perfect one, and here it is!

It’s not just a journal, it’s an investment in your happiness⬇️

I was looking for the perfect Gratitude Journal to share with athletes and when I couldn’t find exactly what I was looking for I decided to create one myself 😄

SUMMER 2023 is booked ✅🏀

[Laken James @lakenjames5]

In college we had to MAKE 300 shots a day. Taking out days for road trips, game days, off days etc. Let's say on average 240 days a year.

240*300= 72,000 made shots a year
72,000*5 yrs= 360,000 made shots during my career

I took 561 in game shots during my entire career...
