CHOKE???

Welcome everyone...funny how this works...when you accept failure, it will find you. When you accept success, you will find it.
Relentless mind set. This past week several readers contacted me regarding pressure and that word "choke." Pressure is self induced.
Whether you compete or not. "I'm in it for recreation." That may be what you are selling yourself on. Don't fall for that cop out...built in excuse. Goals...long term goals look good on paper and sound good. You want to climb Mt. Everest. You look at only the peak. But, you start at the base and work your way up. You MUST have beginning goals. After writing down an annual goal, then it's about daily goals. You can "feel" daily goals Muscle "freeze" begins in the brain. You tighten up. You allow, force yourself out of your skill, talent zone. You freeze...choke. When your system freezes,
"liquid wrench" is not a solution. Press "refresh." Go back to basics. Start at the base.

FEAR FACTOR

Hello and welcome everyone...delighted by your questions and
comments regarding previous blogs. A viewpoint/perspective...
there are 1000's of ways, exercises, techniques and yes, supplements one can grasp, to gain an edge...to win. Along the way,
what happens to our plan. We face challenges, obstacles we don't
like or understand. Some find themselves in that "vision of victory."
Most can't handle "that moment." Most people can live with
failure easier than success. People freeze at "that moment." This
mental state of mind begins in our training. We either drive our
workouts or the drills drive us. Everyone faces life defining, life
changing moments. Are you ready?! Or will you be afraid..again?
Winner's seize the moment. Winner's and survivor's are not afraid
of failure. They embrace "that moment." We need to overcome
ourselves...overcome our fears. Are you prepared to ascend the
podium, to take "center stage." First to the Finish Line," where
winners and survivors always meet.

FAST

Hello and welcome everyone! Summer in March? Yes...and we are off to
a fast start. No matter what sport...a fast start is everyone's dream...
the psyche. The race against time belongs to every sport and every
participant. That internal clock is key to the "game clock." Knowing
ourselves, out limits and our max. The last two minutes, or twenty seconds, or two seconds is critical in any competition. How you "close,"
will make the differance in how you finish. Most competitors tense or
"freeze up" in the "close portion" of the event. Relax...breathe and stay
within yourself.

Have a meaningful life everyone! Jimmy O
