Mental Training...Your Most Important Investment This Year

When I think of the word "investment," I think of something that is going to give me a return for years and years to come.

I think of it as something that will leverage the most important parts of my life and who I want to become.

We can think of investment as:

  • Time
  • Money
  • Resources
  • Focus/energy

 All with the assumption that we invest NOW in order to reap the benefits long-term.

Anything that matters to us is going to be an investment in some way.

Mental training is no different.

Yes, it's an investment of time, money, energy, and resources.

So is your daughter's sport!

And I'm here to tell you that the investment in training the mental side of her game is your most important investment this year.

Here's why:

You're Already Investing In Your Daughter's Sport

Ensure you're actually getting a return on what you're already investing in.

Your daughter needs three things to be great at her sport:

  • Knowledge of the sport
  • Physical Training
  • Mental training

We think of it like a multiplication problem. They all multiply each other and amplify one another.

However if one of them is at zero, the whole equation will be a zero.

Your daughter can have a lot of talent and put in the physical work. But if her mental game isn't there, she will never reach her potential. 

Her Mindset Skills Follow Her Off the Court/Field

This is more than just her sport.

Yes, there are some "givens" when an athlete joins The Elite Competitor Program.

  • Her play improves.
  • She can come back from mistakes.
  • She'll take more risks, stop hesitating, and begin performing well under pressure.

But what's even more amazing are the off court/field "wins" that she'll experience. It's the increased confidence we see outside of the sport that truly inspires us!

 

The Person She Becomes Later is Being Shaped Right Now

It's like a seed that is being watered now in order to bloom later.

You'll never regret investing in your daughter's mindset, confidence, and the skills to navigate the ups and downs of her sport and life NOW.


One last question that I'd like you to consider is - what is the cost of your daughter staying exactly where she is right now?

There's a cost to everything:

The cost of change.

The cost of staying the same. 

Because if you're going to consider the cost, don't only consider the cost of going for it, but what it'll cost you if you never do.

Remember, everything she needs is in her already. Give her the skills to pull it out and ensure her mental game is her greatest competitive advantage.
