🧠 THE MENTAL LOAD OF AN ATHLETE 🧠

Spring semester is just about to begin for most college athletes. High school athletes and youth athletes are in full swing! Balance is a huge component in their daily lives!

Athletes balance playing their sport with many other aspects (school, friendships, home, work, etc.). It’s easy to feel overwhelmed! How does an athlete keep all those balls in the air without falling?!?

The demands and pressure athletes experience can be internalized, causing them to overthink, struggle to stay present, and question their confidence and motivation.

Most athletes want to be successful in all their pursuits. Individuals in an athlete’s life need to be supportive and empathetic!

Remember, they are more than athletes!

🧠 Injured athletes- this one’s for you!

Healing after an injury isn’t just physical.

When athletes get injured, their mind often races ahead to timelines, comparisons, and fears. There are numerous elements outside of their control that can cause them to sometimes feel more anxious and frustrated.

Mindfulness brings attention to the present moment and is critical for healing. Training the mind to learn how to respond to injury with awareness can help an injured athlete feel more secure, in control, and connected to themselves through rehabilitation.

Check out this post to learn about the benefits of implementing mindfulness during injury.

Growth can be challenging.

Embrace challenges as opportunities to grow, setbacks as opportunities for success, and failures as lessons.

🧠 Athlete Mindset and Reflection 🧠

Incorporating weekly self-reflection can help athletes examine the previous week, evaluate areas of intention, and move into the next week having a clear focus on what they would like to accomplish.

Take some time to answer these questions in an effort to help you continue to build throughout the upcoming week!

This quote from Ken Ravizza is spot on!

Athletes often try to adjust elements within their performance, like emotional control or regulation, but neglect to work on control outside of sport.

Learning to enhance self-awareness will assist an athlete in understanding more about themselves and how they respond to certain environments and triggers. Getting that data can then help them learn more about how to self-regulate and what doesn’t work for them. That final step of controlling performance occurs after the athlete has put in the work of self-discovery.

🚨 Learning to Control the Controllable 🚨

You can’t control the refs.
You can’t control the scoreboard.
You can’t control the weather, the crowd, or what your opponent does.

You can control your effort.
Your body language after a mistake.
Your focus on the next play.
Your response when things don’t go your way.

Learning to focus on what you can control assists with keeping you present in the moment.
