PILLAR #1 – Elite Mindset

Without the right mindset, you will continue to struggle with doubt, thinking you “just don’t have the mental toughness” needed to reach your full potential.  As you start honing an elite mindset, you will start to see setbacks — things you used to think of as “failure” — as an opportunity for growth, and that makes a HUGE difference in the results you will achieve.  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.

PILLAR #2 – Motivation and Commitment

No one is able to reach big goals or max out their potential without high levels of motivation and commitment — this is something we know.  When adversity comes knocking — as it always does — the level of motivation and commitment one has will largely determine whether they push through and stick with it, or whether they give up.  By learning the SKILL of motivation and commitment, you can develop the grit needed to stick with it even when things get hard and you don’t feel like it.

PILLAR #3 – Focus and Awareness

Distractions, negative self-talk, and letting mistakes get to you are a sure way to derail performance.  Athletes who succeed don’t do so because they somehow evade trials and challenges.  They succeed because they develop a SKILL SET that allows them to overcome the challenges and trials they face — and learning focus and awareness is a crucial component of being able to do that.  With Mindset Mastery, you will finally be able to display 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 and shine your brightest when it means the most.

PILLAR #4 – Self-Control and Discipline

Elite performance requires hard work and dedication.  There’s no way around that.  Similarly, the pressures of competition are demanding — mentally, physically, and emotionally.  When you begin to intentionally and consistently train the skill of self-control and discipline, you will notice that you are better able to:

• Refocus when facing the inevitable obstacles (have a bad game, battling nerves before a big game, negative comments/expectations of parents, or when you get off the rails on your personal training program, etc.)

• Calmly evaluate different challenging scenarios and make the most effective decisions. As the self-control and discipline “muscles” strengthen, expect to be able to make objective decisions under pressure, rather than being run by emotion.

• Embrace the process — good and bad — as an opportunity for growth.

PILLAR #5 – Process Over Outcome

One of the biggest battles you face is this: finding the energy and initiative to do the day-to-day, mundane tasks necessary to reach your goals, even when you don’t feel like it.  By learning the process-over-outcome skill set, you will be able to redirect your focus to what is within your inner locus of control — and drive the actions needed to achieve the desired outcome.  This will allow you to develop an appreciation for focusing on what you can control, letting go of what you can’t, and aiming for daily improvement.

PILLAR #6- Meditation and Mental Imagery

Whether we’re aware of it — or not — the mental images we create and carry around (both positive and negative) have a direct impact on our physical and mental performance.  When you learn the skill set of mental imagery 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 experience increased confidence through an advanced form of preparation honed by thousands of sessions with elite-level performers.

PILLAR #7 – Routines & Habits of Excellence

At least 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.  Through Mindset Mastery, you will learn how to identify and replace unproductive habits with routines and intentional daily structure. Those who fly by the seat of their pants or let their feelings dictate what they will do and don’t do are destined to fall short of their potential.

PILLAR #8 – Time Management & Organization

The more automated and organized one’s day is, 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.  Every decision made each day is like a “withdrawal” from your bank account.  And on the flip side, every decision put on automation, requiring minimal mental thought or energy is like a deposit.  The most successful performers wield effective time management and organizational skills so that they can preserve energy and focus for the things that REALLY matter.

PILLAR #9 – Leadership

Elite performance is a team effort.  In order to reach your full potential, you must also learn how to help those around you perform better. Learn and training your leadership skills intentionally, rather than leading the way you have seen others do it.

PILLAR #10 – The Right Culture

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 their players treat each other, how they respond to adversity, and their ability to consistently perform at a high level regardless of sport or level.  With Mindset Mastery, you will be able to help establish the right culture individually and collectively to achieve maximum success.
