Tough Competitors use images of success, fighting back, having fun staying relaxed, and being strong in the face of adversity.
You MUST PRACTICE

positive image Your are not
responsible for negative feelings but you are if you let them persist

#6 Think These Terms Every Day
I Will Put MY Self On The Line Every Day
I Will Not Surrender I Will Over Come In Tough Times I Will Come Totally Prepared To
Compete Every Day I Will Never Show Weakness The Crazier It Gets The More I Like It I Love Competing More Than Winning
#7 Think humorously to break up negative emotions
Fear and anger vaporize in humorous thoughts
Use humor with teammates when things get to tense
#8 Think more energetically
Energy is everything
Outside-In Say
› I Love This› Is this great
pressure or what!
#9 Learn to Keep a “Here and Now” Focus During Competition Staying in the
present allows a natural expression of talent and skill
Present centered focus, during critical moments of execution, is fundamental to performing well under pressure
Thinking about the future allows fear to set in.
Thinking about the past allows anger to frustrate you.
Practice focusing on a moment to moment focus in practice and in games
This Play!
#10 During critical moments of execution, focus your attention outside yourself
Choking occurs when too much attention is focused inward
Get outside your head
Negative emotions lead to concentration problems
Direct your attention
#11 Practice Strategic Visualization Constantly
“See”, “Hear”, “Feel”
Experience it mentally before you test yourself physically
Mentally rehearse difficult routines
Works best in deep relaxation

#12 Be more disciplined in the way you think about mistakes If you fear mistakes
then they will happen
If you fear losing then you will
Playing not to lose or not to make mistakes locks you up inside
#12 Cont. “Mistakes are necessary part of learning”
No Mistakes = No Learning I will make my mistakes
fearlessly and aggressively I will accept what ever
happens and learn from it “What could have I done
differently?” “What can I learn from
this?” “What can I take away
from this that will help me in the future”
#13 Be clear why it’s important to fight before the battle begins, then commit
Without a clear commitment to fight… You wont
Why are you competing
How important is this game/event to you
What are you willing to do
Will you put your self on the line
#14 Use adversity to get stronger
Every crisis is a opportunity to grow
Tough Times are Stress…. Give me tough times to be tougher
“Do not pray for easy lives. Pray to be stronger men.”
“Show me someone who has done something worth while and I will show you someone who has overcame adversity” Lou Holtz
#15 Constantly remind yourself to love battle Love the Process,
the fight, the breakthroughs, the struggles, the pain, the glory
Loving to win is easy… loving practice is tougher
Love the Battle
Football, in its purest form, remains a physical fight. As in any fight, if you don’t want to fight , it’s impossible to win
› Bud Wilkinson
#16 Use Positive brainwashing to break negative habits You can control
control what comes into your mind, and as a result, control your actions. You can become the person and leader you want to be
› Homer Rice
