Each day we will prepare our minds for becoming a postive athelete. Much of what we do is based on mental frameworks or mindsets. We want to develop a mindset for becoming successful athletes. During the season, we will work on mindsets that address attitude, responsibility, self-image, character, leadership and goals. Each day we will have a vocabulary word and a short discussion around the word. Research shows that by improving our vocabulary we can improve our IQ. Who doesn't want to do that? So, let's get started.
We will work the following topic over the next two days.
