It's The Mind That Counts

The more and more I am around the world of high performance, the clearer I am able to see what really matters most...

This thought was confirmed recently when I was having a conversation with a great coach who mid conversation said to me: "Max, I have been doing this for a long time and I am starting to realize that the physical, technical and tactical side of the game is only about 5%, the rest is all mental."

Numbers and percentages aside, what I took from that is they were beginning to realize what I have been seeing for a long time, and what James Kerr said in his book Legacy...

In any game played with the body, it is the mind that counts. 

There are lots of very wonderfully talented and gifted people in the world. What is it that separates the ones who use their talents and gifts versus the ones who don't? Their mindset...

It's like owning a Ferrari but not knowing how to drive it properly. I have a friend who recently bought a brand new Corvette and then was invited to their headquarters to go through an immersive training to fully understand the performance of the car to elevate the driver experience. He said it is amazing to see what the car is capable of when you completely understand how to use it!

The same is true of us. It is amazing to see what the body is possible of when we train our minds to elevate our experience!

I BELIEVE IN YOU!
