QUESTION: How do we help our daughter re-commit to her tennis? (PART 2)
Begin your one-month organizational plan by reminding your athlete to:
- Flip their negative words and thoughts to positives.
- Take ownership and be accountable.
- Let go of past failures and be future-orientated.
- Believe in their plan. (The athlete is more likely to believe in a plan if it is their plan.)
- Commit to daily and weekly planners.
- Complete a nightly focus journal.
- Accept that change is uncomfortable…but that’s where growth lives.
- Take away destructive behaviors.
- Celebrate positive behaviors.
- Identify proactive behavior and destructive behavior.
- Choose to chase excellence, not perfection.
- Acknowledge that today’s results stem from past choices.
“Every choice your athlete makes either pushes them closer to their goal or further away from their goal.”
