Success all comes down to mindset:
–How well you prepare.
–The intensity of your training.
–The manner you respond to adversity.
–Your ability to focus under pressure.
–How you deal with competing when you are tired.
–A multitude of other aspects that contribute to optimal performance.
What direction is your mindset leading you?
If you aren’t moving closer to your goals, maybe it’s time to take a closer look at your habits.
Joe DeGano from MXCOACH says:
Most dedicated racers follow a plan that usually includes physical training, nutrition, practice, bike testing, and maintenance. Some go further and hire physical trainers and moto coaches to take their training and preparation to the next level.
Yet still the most neglected area of racing is mental training and development.
It is beyond strange that this is missing from most motocross training programs at all levels of our sport.
So much effort is spent on the physical and mechanical aspects and little to none spent on training and developing a racer’s mind and discovering his limits and intentionally breaking through them. The fact is mental training and development will impact every area of a complete training program.
Think of the riders that always get great starts or are known as holeshot kings and then there are the riders that generally get okay or poor starts and come from behind. Does one rider have a better technique or a faster bike than the other? Or perhaps one is lucky and the other unlucky. What about the rider that is always getting hurt and the rider that is always healthy and never misses a race. Does one drink more milk and have a genetically superior immune system than the others? Jeremy McGrath and Ricky Carmichael come to mind – great champions in every sense of the word.
I say they were great starters and healthy because of their mental game first; and luck, the consumption of milk and inherited genes had nothing to do with it! Yes I assert these men were 100% responsible for creating consistent holeshots and being injury free and healthy.
These great champions stand in responsibility always looking within to reach their goals as opposed to looking for reasons and circumstances to excuse them from why they have not reached their goals. This mindset of responsibility offers unlimited opportunities for discovery. The popular way instead is to pass over mishaps and failures that are rich with insights, and dismiss them as bad luck and excuse what happened by looking at outside circumstances and reasons. I could go on and on about this one principal alone!
This is your opportunity to look at yourself and your life and see if what I say fits and see where it fits. By considering a new point of view gives you access to see something you did not previously see. This insight may give you access to see where you limit yourself.
Through these insights, you will now be able to take new actions to support your goals and discontinue the old actions that do not. It is obvious that by reading this far you already have the mindset to learn and a commitment to be the best! Congratulations you already have separated yourself from the rest of the pack. Ultimately, it is the actions you take that cause the results. The question is, are you crystal clear on the results you want?
