Even the best athletes have off days or tough moments.

It’s okay if you’re not feeling 100% — checking in with yourself, noticing what you need, & asking for help doesn’t make you weak 💙

Your mental health matters.

Taking care of your mind is just as important as your training & practice 🧠✨

Make mental check-ins part of your routine.

If stress, burnout, or overwhelm is affecting your performance or day-to-day, we’re here to help you regain balance, so you can enjoy both life & your sport again 😌

You miss when it felt fun and exciting.
You waited with anticipation all day to go to practice.
When you got to play it felt like you had not a care in the world.
You fell in love with a beautiful game.

It hasn’t felt that way in a while.
It’s felt like a chore.
You dread going.
You wonder how you lost the joy for it.

We help our athletes reconnect with that little kid who fell in love. The younger version of you that felt free when you showed up.

We tend to focus on our larger goals, so when set backs happen- it can throw us off our game.

Celebrating the “little victories” can be a great way to keep ourselves motivated throughout rehab and recovery.

But what are little victories? I’m glad you asked!

Here are 10 examples of little victories you can celebrate during injury recovery:

❤️‍🩹 You can now do that one exercise pain free
❤️‍🩹 Your doctor FINALLY unlocked your extension brace after ACL repair
❤️‍🩹 You graduated from the yellow theraband to the red theraband
❤️‍🩹 You showed up at rehab today, even when it was hard to
❤️‍🩹 Your range of motion improved by a couple of degrees
❤️‍🩹 Putting on your cleats for the first time
❤️‍🩹 Taking rehab from the athletic training room to the field
❤️‍🩹 Going from non-weight bearing to partial weight bearing
❤️‍🩹 Being able to navigate stairs without assistance
❤️‍🩹 No longer needing your mobility aid, brace, or immobilizer

When the road ahead seems long and windy, focus on these small wins to help you stay motivated. 💪🏻

Here’s the scary truth: your mind can play tricks on you — especially when fear, doubt, or overthinking creep in 👻

But just because a thought feels real, doesn’t mean it’s true!

Fear-based thoughts love to sound convincing, but they’re just worries in costume 👹

When your mindset gets a little spooky, try this:
⚡ Focus on what you can control
🕸️ Challenge fear-based thoughts with facts
🔮 Visualize your best performance instead of what you’re afraid might happen
🛌 Give your mind a break by taking time to rest & recharge

You can’t always stop scary thoughts from popping up, but you can take back your power & choose how you respond to them!

Happy Halloween from all of us at Next Level Mental Performance! 🎃🦇

We made it through the first step of the injury process, now we need to prepare for the longest step: REHAB!

This is the phase of the process that takes the longest amount of time but where we can see the most growth and change take place.

In this stage we need to make sure our focus matches where we’re at in the process. It’s helpful to take a realistic inventory and adjust our attitudes, goals, and efforts to meet the appropriate phase we’re in.

This stage is crucial for planting seeds for confidence building. How we interpret our progress can impact our anxiety and our confidence levels. We know setbacks will happen in the rehab process, so our goal is to build the capacity to experience those setbacks and to rebound from them.

Are you fueling to perform or are you running on empty? 🪫

Under-fueling can look like skipping meals, avoiding carbs or fats, or relying on caffeine before workouts ‼️

It might feel disciplined, but it often backfires & does more harm than good. This can show up as low energy, decreased strength, poor focus, slower recovery, higher risk for injury, digestive issues, sleep disturbances, anxiety & irritability, & other health concerns 🚨

Well-fueled athletes eat consistently, listen to their body, & include foods that support their energy, strength, focus, & recovery ⚡️💪

Swipe through to see the difference between under-fueled vs. well-fueled habits 👉🏼

Even small changes in fueling can help you train harder, recover faster, & feel more confident 🏆

Which habits do you relate to? Are you fueling like the athlete you want to be?
