Coaching

You can be a winner

The Coach’s tips are all about positive thinking. They highlight what is good and create a good sporting self-esteem now. So you can be a winner.

And get rid of negative thinking. Don’t let obstructive thoughts stop you. Leave all feeling of being inferior, let go the notion that the opponents are too big and strong, that the bar is too high, that the race is too long or opposition is too superior.

If you see your self as a scorer and winner when you have a chance to scoring, increases the chance that you really hit the target. Seeing your self as the person who’s lifting the trophy increases the possibility that it really will be you who eventually lift it.

Tiger Woods, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Leonid Messi, Ronaldo. Do they ever think of their limits? No, they see themselves as winners.

To the tip section:

TIP #1 • Expect good things. Expect only the good things. Think about the ten good things you did in the last race/training instead of the two less good things.

TIP #2 • Rich life. If you have ten good friends and one enemy, your life should be rich - if you avoid focusing on your only enemy.

TIP #3 • Next is a hit. If you miss the target once don’t hang down your head. Set your mind to hit it in next try.

TIP #4 • Negative force. Negative thoughts have a greater effect than positive. Therefore, you must get rid of the negative thoughts.

TIP #5 • Unload. You will never be a winner on negative thinking. Unload all your negative thoughts, both in terms of your performance and of other negative thoughts you might have.

TIP #6 • Happy with yourself. Be satisfied with yourself and you will be free in your mind, more relaxed and your performance will improve.

TIP #7 • No limits. You can never do better than your thoughts allow you.

TIP #8 • Winner of everything, You should not only see your self as a winner, but also feel and hear yourself as a winner. Be a winner in words, thoughts and actions.

TIP #9 • It could be you. It is always possible to move forward. There is always someone who exceeds a limit. It could be you, or someone else.

TIP #10 • Strengths. Focus on your strengths. When you are looking back to your efforts in a match or a race, notice and put to your memory the moments abd actions you performed well.

TIP #11 • Good memories. Bring your memory of something you have done well and are especially pleased with, to the next contest/game/workout.

TIP #12 • Possibilities. See the possibilities, not obstacles. The opportunities are always close to the barriers. The goalkeeper is the obstacle - the net is possible. The height of the bar is the obstacle - the air above is the possibility. The opponent is the barrier - you're the possibility.
