Preparation for Peak Season
July 17, 2009 by maryleetracy
So so many things to think about!!! Keep them safe and do the repetitions needed to be confident and consistent is the toughest balance of all!!! That is where your relationship with your athlete and the mutual communication will make you or break you…. and them. I am at that time of the year as we prepare for season and I must remind myself everyday that I am the temperature control for the environment and my every word will make an impact on my athletes. As you get closer to the moments of peak season it is of utmost importance to be aware of your gymnasts mental state. Help teach them to surround themselves with positive thoughts, actions, body language, and self talk! WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT YOU WILL BRING ABOUT! Hang signs, quotes, actions and images of the athlete you want to be at these PEAK MOMENTS!! MENTAL AND EMOTIONAL TOUGHNESS is the name of the game when you get to the finish line! Make sure you have prepared your athletes and given them the tools they will need to be prepared!!
