Coach Blaise

What did you learn over the last year?

It’s a huge accomplishment to make it to December of this year, take what you learned and put it into action.

Answer honestly: Would you want yourself as your teammate?
If you were the coach would you pick yourself to be on your team?
Would you choose yourself to be a leader?

If you have any doubt about answering ‘yes’ to any of these questions then you need to get back to the big three above.

You can’t control much in sport, but you can control your attitude, work ethic, and preparation every single day. Focus on these three every practice, game, and workout and it would be hard not to make tremendous improvement!

How will you show up to the next practice?

Check out this piece I published today. What do you think, do sports build character?

Do Sports Build Character? The answer may not be so obvious.

Controllability is key part of sport performance. Many athletes are unable to reach their peak performance because they wast their limited time, effort, and attention on factors outside of their control.

This looks like athletes
❌ complaining to the refs
❌ blaming their teammates
❌ worrying about the weather
❌ focusing on the opponents trash talk

As an athlete you can’t control the refs, your teammates, the weather, or the other team.

✅Your effort is better used on what you can control. Do what you can, right here and right now.

You have to work with what you have right here, right now.

There are times where you think, “I’ll have time in the future” or “I’ll do it tomorrow.” We wait for the perfect opportunity. We hold off for all the cards to fall into place.

But when you do this you miss out on opportunity and progress towards your goals. Don’t want work with what you have right now.
