The BEST Way To Teach Athletes Self Talk

Nearly every professional athlete I know uses self-talk to boost their confidence, improve focus, and enhance their overall performance.?

For example…

World-renowned mindset coach George Mumford who was also the author of “The Mindful Athlete”...

Talked about how he recovered from his severe addiction to alcohol by using positive self-talk.?

He had a problem with negative self-talk early in his life which he referred to as “stinkin thinkin.”?

Mumford switched his stinkin thinkin by using the power of self-talk and went on to become a mindset coach for Kobe Bryant, Michael Jordan, and Shaquille O’Neal.?

His self-talk methods were legendary and helped to build 3 of the greatest players in NBA history.?

Positive self-talk is a big part of our program here at Athletic Mindset…

And I know from experience that it can help your athletes during training and competition.?

Many of your athletes may not be familiar with the concept of self-talk.?

The best way you can encourage your athletes to start using it is to explain how it can help them improve their performance.?

You could even help your athletes come up with affirmations that they can use to replace negative thoughts.?

This works well for me.?

And it might work for you as well.?

The key is to trigger your athlete's memories so that they are automatically using affirmations during challenging situations.?

For some athletes, this could just be when they are tired…?

For others, it’s when they are feeling frustrated…

And others when they are actually under pressure.?

It doesn’t really matter when your athletes start using self-talk…

What matters is that they see self-talk as a skill that takes time and patience to develop.?

But if your athletes are willing to put in the time and the patience they will not only be able to perform at their best during competitions…?

They will also achieve their goals in life.?

That’s why it’s an extremely important part of our program here at Athletic Mindset…

And why it’s one of our biggest tools.?
