Sporting Excellence
The following pointers should lead you to maximise your sporting abilities:
- Training Excellence
- Set specific achievement goals before each training session
- Prepare your mind before training to get the most out of each period
- In training practice your skills with the maximum attention and effort
- Use imagery and simulation to mimic actual performance as far
as possible
- Practice distraction, mood and
stress control so that they can be applied effectively in competition
- Performance Excellence
- Rest effectively before a performance: over-training exhausts your body and tires your mind when
you need your maximum mental resources
- Use pre-performance ritualsand on-site psych plans so that you start competing in the best frame of mind
- Keep focus. If you lose focus, apply a refocusing plan to regain
concentration
- Learn as much as possible out of your performance, but only analyse after your performance is
complete
- Keep a training/performance diary to set goals and record
performance and mental results.
