THE ART OF EXCEEDING: VOLUME 2 RELEASING
Unleashing the Warrior
“Athletes who conquers their inner demons are the mightiest warriors.”
The warrior within is like fire. Controlled fire can heat your home and cook your meals. However, uncontrolled fire can burn the house down. Trust the warrior within and turn that fight into a force that serves you rather than destroying you.
1 Recognizing the Warrior
The warrior within represents the innate desire to compete, the hunger for victory, and the fighting spirit within you. It’s the fuel that drives you to push through uncomfortable moments. However, if left unchecked, the warrior can become uncontrolled leading to impulsive decision making and erratic performance.
2 Embracing Controlled Aggression
Aggression is a double-edged sword in tennis. On one hand, controlled aggression can be a potent weapon, allowing you to take charge of the match, dictate play, and dominate opponents. On the other hand, uncontrolled aggression can lead to unforced errors, loss of focus, and emotional volatility. Learning to embrace and channel controlled aggression requires a delicate balance of intensity and composure.
3 Breath and Focus
Proper breathing is a powerful tool for centering and calming the warrior. Deep, intentional breathing helps maintain a state of focus and presence, allowing you to perform freely. By practicing mindful breathing techniques, you’ll find a sense of calm amid the storm of competition and make more clear headed decisions.
4 Playing to Strengths
Understanding your strengths and applying them is a crucial aspect of channeling the warrior within. Identifying and capitalizing on your natural abilities, allows you to leverage those strengths and gain a competitive edge.
5 Embracing Challenges
Instead of shying away from difficult opponents or tough situations, the warrior embraces them as fun challenges and opportunities for improvement. Facing adversity head-on strengthens the warrior and cultivates mental resilience.
6 Finding Flow
Flow is a state of optimal performance where you’re fully immersed in the match. Your actions effortlessly flowing and your minds completely absorbed in the present moment. Finding the flow state and not sabotaging it requires dancing with the angels not the devils.
The devil wants to steal your peace of mind. A brave athlete looks the devil in the eye and tells him “NOT TODAY”. By knowing that no one you know works harder than you, you can stand your ground when the Devil’s at your door and not let them in.
