Focusing on what you can control and letting go of what you cannot. That’s mindfulness.

You are not your thoughts, no matter what they tell you.

[Dr. Jesse Michel, CMPC @JesseDMichel]

Golfers, hitters, athletes- what’s you’re approach before every shot/at-bat/point/etc.
1) identify your approach
2) think about what it will take to execute
3) visualize the execution
4) self-talk/cues for the shot
5) consciously commit!

Some counsel for big endeavors:

• Take the long view; it's a nine-inning game
• There will be highs and lows
• Focus on what you can control
• Surround yourself wisely
• Practice self-discipline
• Practice self-compassion
• No big decisions when you're hungry or tired

"Just as we train in the gym or on the pitch to improve our technique and our tactical abilities, the mind is something you also have to train...and seeing a psychologist helps a lot."#BreakTheStigma #MentalHealthMatters

Coaches: don't underestimate your impact on an athlete's self-talk. What they hear from you becomes internal and impacts performance. To help your athletes - script out what you'd like them to say to themselves when adversity strikes, then deliver that message.

Here’s a look back at the Unity Walk from the Fall semester.

It’s a movement not a moment‼️

[Dr. Tyler Bradstreet @tylerbradstreet]

The #1 secret to high performance that we miss is self-compassion #StrengthWithHeart

We push ourselves to higher levels by being very tough on ourselves, especially in the face of failure. It's part of what makes us excel, but it can come at a huge cost.

People always ask me what my key to longevity in this league has been. And what I would have to say to that is .. above all, it’s been my mental fortitude. I’ve developed a consistent mental routine, which has helped me develop an intentional, positive and confident mindset.

Sleep is the best performance enhancer this is. Yet, many of us neglect or lack the recommended dose.

We all know we need to sleep more. Instead of telling you that, let's look at the science of sleep and how to get better at it:
