Andrew Luck, former NFL quarterback (now GM of Stanford Football programme) digs deep into the importance of competitive practice…

Don’t mess with practice…that’s when you win games…

The detail - constraints and conditions that help players experience the demands of competition. Tasks and challenges that increase emotion and feeling.

But here’s the thing…

Mr Luck hints at player mental frameworks when he speaks to the opportunity to practice breathing and positive affect during tough-to-manage training sessions.

Breathe…steady your nervous system!
Positivity…influence your teammates!

Deeper still…

Go to work on attention, intensity, intent…

A deep attention during practice…search for the cues you need to respond to…
Heighten mental intensity…stay engaged with the cues…
Aim to execute actions with a high intent…purposeful, positive, and proactive no matter what…

In control and in charge. Dominate and own your mindset. Practice is a time to go hard mentally…it’s a time to practice the psychology of game day…

Jumping on! When in Rome (or just outside Dallas) and your original team has been irrelevant for years.

Commitments are POWERFUL!

But commitments are LIMITED..

When you make a commitment, it keeps you from making a commitment to something else.

Choose wisely.

[Shaun Larkin @SLarkin04]

Decisions become much easier

When you keep your values in order.

[Shaun Larkin @SLarkin04]

Amateurs involuntarily REACT.

Pros intentionally RESPOND.

[Shaun Larkin @SLarkin04]

You will always have time for what you choose to have time for.

You will also have energy for what you decide to spend your energy on.

In 2025.. let’s choose to be deliberate and intentional with our time and energy.
