10. Be Present and have Purpose
Hard thing to overcome is INERTIA: an object at rest will remain at rest until influenced by a force. Basic strategy to decrease inertia is to just move, make it fun, interesting, and challenging. Most people are not engaged and thinking about something else. When you’re engaged, then you’re ready to train. You must demand that you’re present and paying attention to the movement.

11. Passion and Pride
Are you excited about what you are doing and do you take personal responsibility in daily efforts?

12. 3 Step Plan for Success
Visualize- Faith & Gratitude- Consistent action
Vision: What you want to create
Make a decision & state it.
State it as if it has already happened.
Re-write goal everyday
“I’m grateful I remained positive throughout the season”
Affirmation: One phrase to describe you (Power Statement)
Strong, powerful, easy to remember, feels true to you
Say it every day. Replace negative thought
“I have inside me everything I need to succeed.”
“I overcome. I dominate. I succeed. I have it all.”
