1 - Elite Mindset
Without the right mindset, you are missing opportunities for growth. Without the right mindset, you aren’t getting the most out of the time and energy you’re spending in your training sessions. As you learn to grow and train your mindset, you will finally be able to blast through mental barriers that have held you back and realize your true potential. This will have a HUGE impact in reaching your goals.
2 - Motivation and Commitment
In order to perform one’s very best and maximize your potential, a high level of motivation and commitment is needed. This is a skill set that can be developed, so that you can stick to your plan when things get hard and you don’t feel like it. When adversity shows itself, the level of motivation and commitment will largely determine whether you push through and stick with it, or give up.
3 - Focus and Awareness
Athletes who succeed don’t do so because they somehow avoid adversity. They succeed because they develop a skill set that allows them to overcome the challenges they face… focus and awareness is a crucial component of helping you do that. With practice, you can have a highly trained level of present moment focus and self-awareness so you can block out distractions, navigate adversity, and perform consistently at your best.
4 - Self-Control and Discipline
Elite performance requires hard work and dedication, in the face of life’s demands that we all have. When you begin to intentionally and consistently train self-control and discipline, you will notice that you are better able to refocus when things aren’t going as planned, calmly evaluate situations in which you’re under pressure, and more.
5 - Process Over Outcome
As an athlete, one of the biggest battles you face is this: finding the energy and initiative to do the day-to-day routine tasks necessary to reach your goals, even when you don’t feel like it. By developing the Process Over Outcome skill set, you can redirect focus to what is within your control, let go of what you can’t, and aim for daily improvement.
6 - Visualization and Meditation
The mental images we create and carry around (both positive and negative) have a direct impact on physical and mental performance. When you begin to train the skill set of mental imagery (visualization) and meditation, you will notice that you are better able to stay calm under pressure and focus on the present task, rather than getting caught up in the past or future. You will also decrease the amount of physical time it takes to master a physical skill. Your confidence will grow through this advanced form of preparation, that your competition may not even know exists.
7 - Routines & Habits of Excellence
After working with many elite athletes and teams, Coach Brian Cain conservatively says that a good 50% of elite performance and goal achievement happens OUTSIDE of work out techniques, fundamentals, or any other physical element. Consistently performing at a high level requires the ability to modify behavior and develop the structure needed to execute the plan. High-performers know the power of routine — they know how to build and break habits, and they have a certain amount of structure guiding what they do each day. Just winging it or letting your feelings dictate what you do each day is a sure way to not reach one’s potential.
8 - Time Management & Organization
In our busy lives, decision fatigue is a very real thing. The more organized one’s day is with decisions already made, the more self-discipline, energy, and focus there is to direct toward the most important things. There is a direct correlation between one’s time management and their ability to exhibit more willpower and show up for a competition or workout and be at their best. This isn’t a skill one is born with, we can work together on setting you up for success with tools and strategies.
9 - Leadership
Elite performance is a team effort. In order to help your team reach its full potential, you have to work on becoming a more effective leader. Many teams will fall short because their leadership is coach fed, your team will succeed because it will be player led… and one of those key players is YOU.
10 - The Right Culture
In sport, the best of the best do things differently than the rest of the pack. There is a championship culture within elite performing teams that dictates how they treat each other, how they respond to adversity, and their ability to consistently perform at a high level regardless of sport or level. As an athlete, it’s your job to establish the right culture personally and work to establish this collectively with your team.
