A Coaching Reference
If you want to be great at a certain sport, skill, or activity and always perform at a high level, you must obsess over being great by being self-motivated and committed. This is another important principle in the Fight ON! Mentality. You must find your passion and do it over and over, more than the normal person. For example, if every player takes 50 shots during practice, you must find the passion to get in the gym earlier and take 100 shots before practice. With the Fight ON! Mentality, you will learn to be self-motivated, 100% committed in finding your passion and going over and beyond the normal standard. If training is important to you, then get up and train each day because if you don’t your competitors are training and getting better. Find your passion, be obsessive about it, and be great!
TIPS:
- Write things down that identify ways that you can be obsessive in your craft. Hold yourself accountable to these goals.
- Be consumed by the details which will help you separate yourself from others. Focus on the details and be great at them.
- Be hyper focused on becoming great, which means always doing more than the norm every day. Make a promise to yourself that you will be more than average.
