Unleash Your Life
Mindset. Health. Fitness. Life.
It's all too common for former athletes to get out of shape, gain weight and lose their desire to train. The fact is that the game will come to an end and for many athletes, life after the game can be challenging both mentally and physically. I've found that many of these struggles are due to 3 primary mistakes made after the games are over. What can we do about them? I'll share some tips.
Often times we are too easy on ourselves. Giving ourselves an easy-out with simple phrases such as: (I'll try. I'll do my best. I'll give it a 'shot'. I don't care how I do). This is a slick way for ourselves to not be personally responsible for our outcomes. It puts zero pressure on us. We don't have to feel any kind of stress, anticipation or expectations. Sounds great in theory, but it hurts us in the long run. We must remember that there is a good kind of stress, pressure and anticipation that comes from the form of - COMPETITION.
It's time that we use competition as a tool and driving force. A force to elicit more effort, more energy and a greater sense of purpose. Harness this. It can and will empower you to produce that extra 10%, 20% or more! It's the difference between a $50,000 career to maybe a $100,000+ career or flourishing business. It's the difference between an ok body and health to an elite body and health.
The elite are competitive. If you want to be great at something, aim to be the absolute best! Let this drive you. Compare yourself to the greats to condition yourself that it IS POSSIBLE. Let this give you a purpose and a why for charging through the adversity, the obstacles and the "pain." Harness the power of competition.
Declare to be great. Declare to win the game. Put the pressure on yourself and answer the bell.
