You can’t control everything in your sport… but you can control more than you think 🤔

You can’t control:
❌ The refs
❌ The score
❌ Your opponent
❌ Your coach’s decisions

But you can control:
✅ Your effort
✅ Your attitude
✅ Your focus
✅ Your body language
✅ How you respond to mistakes

Learning to focus on what you can control instead of what you can’t can reduce pressure, improve confidence, and help you perform more consistently under stress.

That’s where your power is ⚡️

Do you ever feel like you’re setting goals for yourself that aren’t helping you level up your potential?

One thing to consider when setting goals is addressing the timeline of those goals ⏳

Setting a goal for the season that can be easily accomplished in your first game probably isn’t challenging enough 🤔

While setting a goal that might take some time to work toward and expecting to hit it in a week might lead to feelings of frustration and disappointment 😠

We can use goal setting as a tool for long term progress by stacking series of short term goals that set us up for success with our long term goals. 🏆

Daily goals can help us steer immediate focus and set the tone for a training session or game. While weekly and monthly goals can help us stay focused and motivated to achieve toward our end goal.

Are you using short term goals to help you stay motivated in a long season?

THIS OR THAT?

Each season when your coach asks you to set goals for yourself, what kind of goals are you setting?

💙 OUTCOME GOALS💙

➡️ If you’re setting goals about yourself statistics, records, or winning championships- you’re probably setting outcome goals.
➡️ Outcome goals focus on the END RESULT
➡️ Outcome goals are often influenced by external factors that might be out of our control
➡️ Outcome goals may lead to feelings of defeat or failure, even if the outcome wasn’t totally on us

🧡PROCESS GOALS🧡

➡️ Process goals focus on the WHY and HOW
➡️ Process goals address things like technique and procedures
➡️ Process goals reflect the factors within our influence or control
➡️ Process goals help build the skills necessary to contribute to our outcome goals

Goal setting is a great way to keep motivation high and the focus clear. It’s important to make sure that your goals work for you and support your long term growth.

What goals do you typically set for the season?

Pre-competition routine vs Pre-performance routine… what’s the difference?

⚽️ Your pre competition or pre game routine are the steps you take before competition starts to help you feel ready to go.

➡️ This includes your physical prep and warm up as well as any mental or emotional steps you need to take to feel regulated and prepared to compete.

➡️ This might extend to the night or day before competition. From your sleep routine, to your breakfast, to the music you listen to on the car ride there- these are all steps in your pre competition routine.

🎾 Pre-performance routines exist throughout competition. These are the steps we take to try and connect with our flow state and perform each rep to the best of our ability.

➡️ Pre-pitch and pre-at bat routines, a sequence before your foul shot, the steps you take before the draw. This routine helps us lock back in on the fly.

➡️ Pre-performance routines are an awesome reset tool. Doing them with each rep, regardless of the outcome, helps create a sense of certainty and security that allows us to turn the page and tackle the next rep.

Looking to level up your pre-performance and pre-competition routines? Check out these tips and take your prep to the Next Level!

1️⃣ Plan it out!
➡️ Make a plan for your routine and test it out on practices. Tweak it until you find the routine that fits best for you.

2️⃣ Keep it consistent!
➡️ Use your pre-performance routine in practice and in competition. Use it with every rep to reinforce familiarity to your nervous system. There’s comfort in what you know.

3️⃣ Be flexible and learn to adapt!
➡️ You can’t control everything. Weather delays and traffic might throw off your routine. Build a routine that is flexible to changes and focuses on your readiness.

4️⃣ Regulate yourself!
➡️ Tap into what readiness FEELS like to you. Use the skills you have to access your ideal performance zone.

5️⃣ No superstition.
➡️ Your routine is a regulation and focus tool, NOT a superstition. Your performance isn’t determined by missing a step or getting thrown a curve ball!

6️⃣ Get physically and mentally ready.
➡️ Blend your mental skills with your physical prep for the ultimate sense of preparation.

7️⃣ Identify a focus cue!
➡️ find a word or an action that helps you lock in. Clap your hands together, say your mantra- find a cue that works for you.

What does your routine look like?

Pre-game nerves don’t mean you’re not confident—they mean you care about performing at your best!

Your body is activating your fight-or-flight response, helping you react faster, stay focused, and perform at a higher level 📈

The key 🔑 is learning to interpret that energy as readiness 😤 instead of fear 😵‍💫

Next time you feel nervous before a game, try this:
1️⃣ Take a deep breath
2️⃣ Relax your shoulders
3️⃣ Remind yourself: “I’ve prepared for this moment. My body is getting ready to compete.”

Then focus on the next play ⏭️

💡 Tip for athletes: Nerves are normal at every level—high school, college, or beyond. Learning to channel them is a mental performance skill that separates prepared athletes from the rest.
