Positive Athlete Journal Drill August 26, 2008
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 are going to finish the discussion on indecision.
The word of the day is "indecision-a wavering between two or more possible courses of action."
Last week we discussed that "indecision has often given an advantage to the other fellow because he did his thinking beforehand." - Maurice Suritzen
Review the definition given here, then in your journal write down the word "indecision" and use it in a second sentence.
2. List some choices and their cooresponding results.
Examples: Choosing to go to bed late will result in being tired the next day. Choosing to study hard will result in good grades. So...
Choosing to... Will result in....

3. Next, who has the power to choose? Why?
Next we will do warm-ups.
Training is 30 min EZ Aerobic Run. That is talking pace! So, find a few friends and get your words out. Easy days like this, we will take the extra time available at the end of practice to talk about race strategies and tactics. Including, pre-race preparation, as well as, post race recovery, celebration and evaluation.
Cool-downs and stretches.
