1. Being relaxed
Research has shown over and over that the best performances occur when you are just slightly above your normal state of arousal, not at the extreme end of the spectrum as once thought.
You are energized, yet relaxed it’s a subtle balance of quiet intensity.
Your mind is calm and your body is ready to go.
You feel relaxed, but you are able to move with great strength and ease.
2. Being confident
Confidence on the inside is outwardly shown by way of your presence, your walk and your facial expressions. You should expect to be successful, not hope or wish to be successful. You must adopt a confident, winning attitude.
3. Completely focused
The only thing you are concentrating on is the task at hand. Having the ability to stay in the moment is a gift that all of peak performers have.
Suceess in sports requires your mind and your body and as an athlete it is very important to have a clear mental picture of what it is you are striving for.
