[Athlete Tip] How To Not Play Down To Competition
Manage episode 478427514 series 2967242
Hey athletes, have you ever walked off the field/court after playing a “should-be-easy” game feeling frustrated with YOURSELF? You didn’t lose... but you didn’t play like YOU either.
This episode is your wake-up call. I’m breaking down:
✅ The #1 mistake athletes make (that turns you into a “rollercoaster player”)
✅ How to set UNBREAKABLE standards (so you dominate EVERY game)
✅ Why the scoreboard LIES (and what to focus on instead)
✅ Pro mindset tricks (used by Olympians and D1 athletes)
✅ The 30-second brain hack that makes sloppy play IMPOSSIBLE
🚨 WARNING: If you keep playing down to competition, you’ll NEVER reach your potential.
