Life is in the striving. Striving to be better today than yesterday; striving to be better tomorrow than today.

[Jay Banfield @JayBanfield]

Great coaches don’t make you feel like your success depends on them. Great coaches give you the tools to empower you to ultimately become your own best coach.

[Jay Banfield @JayBanfield]

Go get ‘em @zbritton33 ack ack⭕️

[Jay Banfield @JayBanfield]

Because the truth of the matter is you need to be your own best coach.

[Jay Banfield @JayBanfield]

Off-season work: self-talk. Think back to those situations where your performance was below (or far below) your expectations. What were you saying to yourself in those situations? Be honest. Then ask yourself if you would say the same things to a person you were coaching?

[Jay Banfield @JayBanfield]

2/ Would you have responded well if one of your coaches had coached you that way? If the answer is no to either, you have some work to do on self-talk. I am not talking about flimsy positive talk. I am talking about coaching yourself like you would someone else.
