Building this ideal mindset, much like making any change in your life, starts with awareness. You need to be aware, first, of the mindset that has been holding you back in competition. You also most importantly need to be aware of the mindset you possess when you are performing at your best. We are taught to focus on the negative and be self-critical, but we need to spend more time and energy on what we are doing right!

Having a good supporting cast of family, friends, coaches, and teammates around you helps you do this, and from there you can begin to take the tools that you learn in this book to build a better mindset, step by step. This is the essence — the process — by which you can begin to perform better, at higher levels, and more consistently.

For more information on ways to start developing this process, check out Chapters 2 and 8.
