"The Mind Game: Why Mental Training is a Must for Athletes"

Updated: Mar 1, 2023


Hey there folks,


it's your boy Steve Pilot, Coach extraordinaire.


I've been in the game for a while now and let me tell ya, I've seen it all.

But one thing that's always been a constant for me is the mental side of things.


It's just as important as physical training, maybe even more so.



Now, I know what you're thinking.


"Steve, come on man, I don't need no mindfulness and visualization mumbo jumbo, I just need to hit the weights and run some sprints."

But let me tell you, my friend, the mind is a powerful thing.


And if you don't train it just like you would your muscles, you're gonna be missing out on a whole lot of potential.




Take visualization for example.


I make my athletes close their eyes and picture themselves crushing it, nailing every play, and being unstoppable.

It's like a warm-up for the brain, getting it ready for success.


And let me tell you, it works. I've seen it time and time again.



But it's not just visualization, setting goals is important too. And not just any old goals, SMART goals.
Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Time-bound.
By breaking down their big dreams into smaller, achievable tasks, they can keep their eye on the prize and not get discouraged.


And last but definitely not least, mindfulness.


It's about being in the moment, not getting caught up in worries about the future or regrets about the past.


Being focused on what's happening right now allows you to perform at your best and make the most of every moment.

And let's be real, if you're not present, you might as well not even be there.



So, there you have it folks, the secret sauce to success.


Visualization, goal-setting, and mindfulness.



Trust me, I've seen it work time and time again.


So, what are you waiting for?


Get out there and start training your brain!
