“We can’t run from who we are, our destiny chooses us.”

It’s probably best we just be who we already feel and know we are…Don’t let others influence you otherwise. UNLESS it’s for the better ;)

[Dr. David Meyer PT, DPT @InjuredToElite]

Contrary to people telling you to calm down, ANGER can INCREASE reaction time, focus, and muscle function in the short term (Zur, 2016). I am calling this "The Waterboy Effect". We discussed surfing the anger wage on Ep.#103 of #BeyondZero

It’s so easy to get distracted by the noise of the wrong criticism, advice, management, coaching, teaching, and advice of key gate keepers in our lives IF WE LET IT. Let that train derail itself & fill your ears with your own noise while smiling and nodding back 😉 #beyondzero

[Dr. David Meyer PT, DPT @InjuredToElite]

What’s the 1 thing that seems to derail you most often with your goals?

I know for both myself and many others, it comes down to focus as the single most important element to completing great things.

Try time blocking and take action to beat the distraction.

It ain’t about control of your thoughts. That is like trying to aim your pitches. It’s about exploring them at times and using specific strategies for specific situations to accomplish your desired outcome. So stop trying to thought control your way to the hall of fame…

[Dr. David Meyer PT, DPT @InjuredToElite]

Don’t let your professional title ever grow bigger than your purpose and dreams in life. We drool over our titles in healthcare but in reality we should be more concerned with simply using them as a means to an end. A title is a tool not our identity…

How you want to be remembered or how you want to be known? If you always wait to show the world how they should know you in the moment, not many will ever remember you. Show them your authentic self NOW and stop waiting to be ready for it. Yes, that means on this Friday night...

[Dr. David Meyer PT, DPT @InjuredToElite]

A master clinician once told me that sports rehab progress should be an upward straight line. Because of their title I believed it. 10 years into my work I realize practice and failure are the BEST ways to learn so why is rehab any different than sports? Don't sell people short.

[Dr. David Meyer PT, DPT @InjuredToElite]

Team mental performance or athlete mental performance?
Sometimes the mental performance of an athlete is not the priority of their team.
I.E. Coaching an athlete who needs help leaving the game.
Think about...What side are you on?

#DSD today, “Do Something Different”

With Action Comes Clarity. Instead of making the best decision, make an educated guess taking a step you haven’t yet. Then learn from whatever happens. This will bring you closer than being “stuck” in indecision.
