To become a champion, you must become a champion in your mind first. Easier said than done, right? The mind is made to think, so it’s normal to have an internal monologue that never stops. While some thoughts will be positive and constructive, others will be more negative and destructive. But be aware how you speak to yourself as your brain believes what it hears, not necessarily what’s true. What types of thoughts prevail in your mind? Are you able to control them? Are you good at giving yourself credit when you perform well or are you better at highlighting your mistakes?
