Everything you have ever seen, heard, read, watched, played or clicked is stored in your vast memory. You are an unique collection of self-filtered information constantly updating via your values and your genetics. Positive, negative, caring, violent, inspirational or just plain lazy actions, inactions and reactions are the daily results. If you are not getting what you want it is because your vast collection of wisdom needs a better self-filtering warrior. Taking control of your information gateway is the key to success and it all starts now.
To improve focus during performance, you must train your recharge efficiency.

As athletes, we are constantly working on our technique and looking for the latest and greatest gadgets to improve our results. There is something however which can produce huge benefits and it is free.

Without a target, you will miss at success. Goal setting is crucial to improving your performance, but always remember that your arrows matter too.
If you believe that you are NOT ready for a competition, then everything in your body and mind will act that way too. A lack of confidence will make your technique crumble and your race day miserable. So what can you do to be ready?
Most athletes do not have a private coach. There might be a team coach depending on your sport or age group but most of us are going it alone. And it is tough.
No one needs to stop being amazing in order for you to be amazing too. - KQ
Lifestyle changes only occur when those changes fit and stick to what you are already doing. A new habit needs a buddy other than your mates, co-workers, or family. Those relationships are already sufficiently complicated without adding more into the mix. Your habit buddy is simply a tactic that works by encouraging your new but timid habit to buddy up with an existing but more experienced one. Long term success is yours when you realise that it is not you having to stick to the new habit rather it is you finding how to make that new habit stick to you.

For too many people, the true answer to why they are not winning is due to bad choices. Simply put – people choose not to win. Excuses are people choosing not to win.

I have decided that one of my daily POMODOROS will now be a squishy one. Simply put, of all the things I need to do each day, I will choose the most disgusting, rotten, smelly thing and just do it instead of pushing it over until tomorrow.
So take one thing. Choose a pomodoro worth of work. Stop waiting for a better time to do it and just get it done now.
My heart is saying I don’t understand or accept or desire it enough to do it now. My brain just needs to figure out why. Stop looking for another reason more complex than fearing the truth.
