When it's time to perform, the brain relies on habits wired through repeated thinking.

Proactive thinkers don't wait for confidence, they intentionally wire it into their minds until confidence becomes the default automatic response under stress.

[Motyv8 @Motyv8]

Fear is a reactive habit, rewire your mind to become more proactive.

Fear, doubt, and pressure are just reactive thoughts that have been wired in as a habit.

Rewire the mind to be proactive, full of belief, confidence and control.

The way to perform under pressure.

You don't rise to the moment when the lights come on. You fall to the level of your training.

Proactive thinkers train the mind to perform under pressure.

Words matter, much more than you think.

Your body will execute what the mind tells it to execute.

Proactive thinkers use their words to give the body great instructions to execute their skills and unlock their performance when it matters most.

[Motyv8 @Motyv8]

Reactive thinkers compare themselves to others, caring about how they measure up to them.

Proactive thinkers compare themselves to themselves caring about if they improved from yesterday.

[Motyv8 @Motyv8]

Reactive vs. Proactive thinkers

Reactive thinkers find reasons to blame their performance on external factors.

Proactive thinkers prepare for and control their response to all those external factors.

[Motyv8 @Motyv8]

Do you avoid discomfort or embrace it?

Reactive thinkers try to avoid discomfort or failure because they don't want to appear untalented. Proactive thinkers embrace discomfort and failure, knowing it is necessary for growth and progress.

What is the most important mental skill for young athletes to develop?

There are eight skills that they need to develop. When we master these skills they work in concert to help unlock all of our physical abilities which leads to great performance. Learning one will help, but we really need to begin learning all of them.

My personal favorites for young developing athletes are the skill of self belief and the skill of confidence. But ultimately the most important to performing our best on the field or court is efficient and effective decisions.

At Motyv8 we built a mental strength training app that helps in the development and building of these skills.

When building mental strength players need to develop these two habits.

First identify what proactive language "positive self talk" sounds like in your mind. Write out the phrases, power statements or performance statements and cues. The brain loves specificity, and details. The brain also loves when we give it the specific task with our language. Here are a couple of examples.

Defensive basketball proactive language.
"I am great at moving my feet and staying in front"
Cue - "Move my feet"

Baseball hitting proactive language.
"I am a great hitter, I can hit any pitch."
Cue - "See the pitch, be on time"

Swimmer wall turns proactive language.
"I am great into and off the wall."
Cue - "tight turn, push, kick"

Write out as many of these types of phrases or statements for all the different aspects of your sport. This gives you a place to remind yourself of that proactive language so you can work on repeating them and building the habit. Also writing things down encodes the words into our memory stronger.

Then build the habit of reflecting or evaluation your practice or competition by asking yourself "What went well?" Write out 3, or 4, or even 10 things that went well. This helps the brain stay proactive, specifically looking for what is working, what is going right and rewiring the brain to see the patterns that help you win. Then pick one or two things you want to improve on.

Caution: focusing too much on everything that went wrong or what is not working right will keep the mind in a reactive state where the fight or flight response is activated and our anxiety rises. This will hurt your performance.

[Motyv8 @Motyv8]

The skill of focus is a cornerstone in building your mental strength—unlocking your skills even in high-pressure moments.

Focus is a choice. You can choose the words and the thoughts that you place in your mind. Identifying cues and phrases helps us control those thoughts.

The brain handles one thought at a time. While it can handle multiple thoughts in rapid succession and we can shift between thoughts quickly, our job is to hold onto the one thought.

The brain is objective. It processes the object or action in a thought but doesn’t fully comprehend “don’ts."
