Feeling uptight? Unfocused? Or stressed out? Hit pause & breathe. A few deep, intentional breaths can have a large impact on resetting our bodies, releasing tension, and redirecting attention. #mentalperformance #mental #sportpsychology #mindset #sport #mentalskills #maine #portlandmaine #breathe #relax #focus

What went well? What is worth improving? Two powerful questions that help fuel confidence, learning, and consistency 💥 When we associate a “good” performance with strictly outcomes, we lose an opportunity to highlight EFFORT and IMPROVEMENT within our training, play, and preparation And, when we label a whole performance as “bad” because of a mistake or loss, it can be difficult to show up feeling CONFIDENT next time Language matters. Try the shift! #mentalperformance #mental #sportpsychology #mindset #sport #mentalskills #growthmindset #improve #maine #portlandmaine #confidence #mentalperformancecoach

Here’s is an example of how physical and mental skills can prepare us for a performance ⬆️ Finding the physical or physiological zone and mindset that fuels your personal best takes practice and self reflection. Curious about finding your “zone”? Send me a DM to learn more! #mentalperformance #mindset #sportpsychology #mental #sport #mentalskills #growthmindset #improve #mind #zone

“Be present”.. sound familiar? This is a phrase that is used so often, but what does it actually mean? And how do we do it? “Being present” or “locking in” means being fully engaged or immersed in the task at hand. And, “locking in” during a game takes practice and reps Practicing mindfulness allows us to engage with our senses and experience in our environment and focus our attention towards where we need it and want it to be in that moment This practice also lies at the foundation of other mental skills like imagery, visualization, and self-talk Making small steps in our ability to be mindful, creates opportunities for us to make strides in our performance 💥💥💥 #mentalperformance #mindset #sportpsychology #mental #sport #mentalskills #mind #mindfulness #present #presentmoment

Process goals are so important when we are working towards a larger goal Small actions you can do each day, week, or month orient our focus on the “how” These goals are specific and controllable, allowing us to have small wins and learning moments throughout the journey to our larger goal 💥 #mentalperformance #mindset #sportpsychology #mental #sport #growthmindset #process #mentalskills #improve #goals
