This afternoon, I had the opportunity to give another MNDFL talk to the boys’ and girls’ basketball teams at a local high school, and just like my talks this summer, the teens were fully engaged and taking a ton of notes.

The coach shared a screenshot of what the team had shared with each other, and I couldn’t help but smile at what they had taken away; many of them made connections on their own that I didn’t share.

I thought I’d share what they took away:

Mindset separates the good from the great

Fear is only in the past and future.

Don't hide from fear take it head on

Confidence kills fear and confidence comes from preparation

Your mental state affects your body more than you think

Mindset is doing

Mindfulness is being

"You cannot achieve what you do not believe"

5 is to 1 as mental is to physical

I need to be more aware of my mindset and what affects it

When you visualize, you need to use all of your senses

Visualizing success will lead to success

Fear exists because of what you tell yourself and your mindset can reverse that

Choose what to do with emotion rather than being controlled by it

A mindset is what separates great from good

Your mind can be your greatest ally or your enemy

Meditation can help you calm and slow your mind down.

See you tomorrow and keep pursuing,
