Nearly all sports are the same (at least on one level). It doesn’t matter if that sport is soccer, baseball, golf, archery, skeet shooting, curling, downhill skiing, long distance running, ice skating, motorcycle racing, or competitive yodeling.
They each start with the same fundamentals:
- Relax and stay loose
- Calm your mind
- Visualize success
- Bend your knees
- Don’t forget to breathe.
One could make a case that each of these fundamentals are of equal importance, but my money is on the last one. Consciously remembering to breathe puts us in the right state of mind to remember the other fundamentals.
We each face challenges on a daily basis. Some are small, and some are huge (at least from our perspective). Here’s a strategy for tackling each of them:
- Relax and stay loose
- Calm your mind
- Visualize success
- Bend your knees
- Remember to breathe!
