5 Essential tips for an Athletes

     5 Essential tips for an Athletes 

1. Be Happy

Have fun participating in your sport and have a passion for doing what you're doing. Ask yourself why you train and why you compete. Happiness comes first; success comes second.

2. Quiet Your Mind

Having a quiet mind helps you stay centered. When you have a quiet mind, you're better able to make good decisions. When your lungs are burning, your legs are tired, and you begin to doubt your ability to keep going, focus on your breath and quiet your mind. If you need to slow down a little, slow down. When you relax your mind, it's easier to make decisions that help you to continue moving forward.
Some chatter can be helpful, such as the pre-race jitters that get you pumped up before a race. It's when anxiety starts to take hold that you should return to your breath and take back the controls.

3. Have a Plan

"If you think it, you've gotta ink it." 
Set goals for the big picture, and then set smaller process goals that lay out the steps you need to take to achieve your big picture goal. Make sure your plan is balanced and consider hiring a coach or mentor to guide you on your journey.

4. Commit

Before committing to a plan, make sure you understand what it's going to take to reach your goals; then honestly assess whether you're willing to do those things. Once you know what you want, and how badly you want it, it will be easier to follow through with the plan.

5. Master Self-Talk

First surround yourself with like-minded, positive and supportive individuals—this kind of positive reinforcement will increase your chances of success. However, you must also be your own biggest supporter. Trust in your fitness and in your preparations. Remind yourself that you are fully capable of being your best! Negative thoughts and choices get us nowhere, except, exactly where we don't want to be. When negative thoughts surface, you have a choice; you can believe them and fall victim to their stronghold or you can simply recognize their futility and exhale them away. You cannot change the past but you do have the power to create what happens next.
