Cracking the Code of a Champion Mindset: How to Achieve High Performance

I’m excited to feature the incredible Molly Fletcher , renowned keynote speaker, former top sports agent, and CEO of The Molly Fletcher Company, Molly Fletcher Media, Motivational Speaking and Training/Consulting .

Molly is the author of five books: A Winner’s Guide to Negotiating: How Conversation Gets Deals Done, The 5 Best Tools To Find Your Dream Career, The Business of Being the Best: Inside the World of Go-Getters and Game Changers, Fearless at Work, and The Energy Clock: 3 Simple Steps to Create a Life Full of ENERGY - and Live Your Best Every Day.

As president of client representation for sports and entertainment agency CSE, Molly spent two decades as one of the world’s only female sports agents.?

She was hailed as the “female Jerry Maguire” by CNN as she recruited and represented hundreds of sport’s biggest names, including Hall of Fame pitcher John Smoltz, PGA TOUR golfer Matt Kuchar, broadcaster Erin Andrews, and basketball championship coaches Tom Izzo and Doc Rivers.

In our conversation, I learned about her experiences as a sports agent and her mission to lead, inspire, and connect with courage and optimism. She encourages all of us to find the courage to combat complacency and embrace change like never before.

The new year is approaching and this is a great time to flex that mindset muscle to achieve high performance in your career and life.

Here’s a few things that may help crack the code of a champion mindset and achieve high performance.

Creating a Smile File

Molly shared a powerful technique she used to help one of her athletes recover his form - creating a highlights reel. She suggests applying this same concept in non-sporting contexts by compiling a 'Smile File.'?

This file consists of appreciative emails, inspirational quotes, and words of wisdom to provide comfort and motivation when the going gets tough. It's a powerful reminder of our own strengths and accomplishments, serving as a source of inspiration during challenging times.

Conducting an Energy Audit

Through a simple yet profound approach, she advises scheduling time on your calendar for activities that bring you joy and light you up.?

Molly encourages making a conscious effort to minimize, delegate, or remove tasks that leave you feeling exhausted and drained. By conducting an energy audit, you can take charge of your life and ensure that your time and energy are focused on the things that truly matter.

Cultivating the Mind of a Champion?

Have you ever wondered what separates champions from the rest? Their drive, determination, and mindset are often the key ingredients that set them apart.

One common thread that emerges from studying the great ones is their relentless pursuit of excellence. They don't settle for mediocrity; there is no place for complacency in their world. Instead, they spend countless hours upping their game internally.?

They understand that true champions are made in the silent battles fought within themselves.

Unlike many who strive solely to achieve specific milestones, champions possess an unwavering commitment to continuous personal growth. They understand that the journey to improvement has no endpoint; there is no final destination.?

It's not about a single victory or accolade; it's about an insatiable drive to get better every single day.

How can you cultivate this champion mindset within yourself??
