The Attitude That Decides Your Season (Set It Now)

Your attitude for the new season is what sets the tone for success, not your talent. It's the standard you set in week one that decides your season. You need to choose your identity for the season now.

What is Your Identity for the Season?

You are not just an athlete, you are the person who shows up every day to put in the work. Your identity is what drives your actions, and your actions drive your results. To set yourself up for success, you need to decide what kind of athlete you want to be this season. Do you want to be the one who gives up when it gets hard, or the one who pushes through? The choice is yours.

Deciding Your Non-Negotiables

Before the season gets hard, you need to decide what your non-negotiables are. These are the things that you will do every day, no matter what. Here is a 3-step protocol to help you create your non-negotiables list:

1. Write down your goals: What do you want to achieve this season? Be specific.
2. Identify the habits that will get you there: What habits do you need to build to achieve your goals?
3. Make a list of your non-negotiables: What are the things that you will do every day to build those habits?

Expecting the Grind

The season is not going to be easy. There will be times when you feel like giving up, when you feel like you're not good enough. But if you expect the grind, you can prepare for it. You can build your resilience by learning how to manage your nerves and perform under pressure. You can also build a pre-game routine that helps you get focused and ready to play.

Motivation vs Standards

Motivation is what gets you started, but it's your standards that keep you going. Your standards are what you expect from yourself every day. They are what drive your actions, and your actions drive your results. If you want to achieve your goals, you need to set high standards for yourself. As Giannis Notaras says in his book "Unlocking Resilient Confidence", building resilient confidence is key to achieving success.

Taking it to the Next Level

If you want to take your game to the next level, you need to commit to your standards. You need to make a conscious decision to show up every day and put in the work. Our course can help you build the skills and mindset you need to succeed. But it's up to you to make the commitment.

The Season Standard

The season standard is the standard you set for yourself at the beginning of the season. It's the minimum level of performance you expect from yourself every day. To set your season standard, you need to decide what you want to achieve this season, and what you are willing to do to get there.

Commitment Exercise

Take a piece of paper and write down your commitment to your standards. Write down what you expect from yourself every day, and what you are willing to do to achieve your goals. Sign it, and put it somewhere you can see it every day. This is your commitment to yourself, and it's what will drive your actions all season.
