Quick reset! 🔄 When we notice unhelpful self-talk or distracting thoughts, we have a choice in how we respond to the noise The noise might be loud… Before a game After a mistake During a hard training session Against a tough opponent But, once we notice it, we can pause, release it through a breath(s), and refocus on something in the present moment (externally!) Then, commit and respond in the next play. #mental #mentalperformance #sport #maine #selftalk

What does it mean to COMPETE on a team? ⬇️ ❌ Competing AGAINST each other can lead to… Me vs You or Teammate vs Teammate Comparison Lack of trust Decreased effort and motivation Fear of failure or mistakes ✅ Competing WITH each other can lead to… Us vs The Standard Mistakes viewed as opportunities to reflect and improve Shared purpose Buy-in and consistent effort Fun Strive, work, compete TOGETHER. In the same direction, not opposite ones. 📸: @leahs_lens_ #mental #sportpsychology #maine #mentalperformance #mentalperformancecoach

Training mental skills is often compared to training physical skills ⬇️ They both take effort, repetition, and application. Like physical or sport-specific training, mental skills training prepares us to perform at a high level consistently, builds on our strengths, and helps us adapt to obstacles along the way. We often don’t wait until something is “wrong” or feels off to lift weights, hit the gym, or get extra reps. We do those things to feel stronger, pursue our goals, and be ready to compete. Training.. Awareness Self-Talk Focus Concentration Confidence And more.. is similar. These skills not only allow us to take more control over the way we perform and play, but they can help us feel more joy, excitement, and motivated in the process💥 📸: @leahs_lens_ #mentalperformance #sportpsychology #maine #training #womeninsports

Why “Stride Mental Performance”? Strides are the skating motions made in ice hockey. They are effortful, powerful, and intentional. Like strides, mental performance training requires effort, purpose, and the ability to adapt in the moment. Inspired by the sport that began my journey, Stride Mental Performance was created... To empower athletes on their journeys To foster development in and out of sport To train the competitive edge that mental training gives And, to create environments where excellence and high performance is attainable, without compromising joy along the way So, let’s Stride together and keep moving toward your goals 💥 📸: @leahs_lens_

Feeling confident takes work. Waiting to feel confident before taking action only prevents us from making progress. Feeling confident comes from: Courage. Trying new things, even when there’s nerves. Making mistakes and using them as information for what needs adapting. Focusing on what is in our control instead of being distracted by what isn’t. And, reinforcing self-belief through what we say to ourselves. What we say impacts where we put our focus and how we respond. Try, reflect, adapt, repeat. 🔄 #maine #mentalperformance 📸: @leahs_lens_

Hey everyone! 💥 I’m Meghan, founder of Stride Mental Performance and a Mental Performance Consultant for athletes and leaders. I started Stride with a mission of empowering athletes and competitors with the mental skills and strategies essential for consistent high-performance and well-being. My passion for mental performance and sport psychology began during my time as a collegiate ice hockey player. Now, this passion fuels my commitment to creating opportunities and performance cultures where individuals can learn, make mistakes, adapt, and take more control over their performance, all while having more fun. At Stride, we believe high-performance is rooted in: ☑️ Purpose - what fuels your fire and what keeps you grinding when things are challenging ☑️ Process - emphasis is placed on the process of growth & improvement serves as a prime motivator ☑️ Preparation - awareness is the foundation for training mental skills (focus, concentration, confidence, etc.) & how we prepare using these skills allows us to dial in when it’s go-time ☑️ Pivots - reflection & adaptability allows us to respond to adversity and continuously grow toward our goals If you’re ready to commit to your mental game, DM me or visit Stride’s website at the link in bio. Let’s get to work and stride forward, together. 📸: @leahs_lens_
