What If YOU Could Train Your Mind Like an NBA Player?!

Today's conversation between Chad Kneller, Martevious Young and I is in response to an amazing interview from Ed Mylett of David Nurse on how to train your mind like the elite performers in the NBA do.

Here are some of the high points:

Everything in life happens FOR you and not TO you.

You may not be ready to go ALL IN on something... but anyone can make consistent SMALL pivots. When you're being surrounded by the opposition, it generally doesn't take a 50% jump to find the window of escape, it usually just takes small consistent 1% pivots to find a way to move that situation forward.

It can take 10 years to become an overnight success.

When you hold onto things too tightly, inevitably you'll lose those things. We need to life with open hands and hold to that which is dear to us loosely.

Change your language - could you use the word opportunity or challenge instead of problem?

VISUALIZATION - High performing athletes never win for the first time when they actually cross the finish line... they visualize that victory thousands of times prior to ever even competing. Our mind doesn't know the difference between reality and our internal visualization of success.

The majority of people struggle with self confidence. You have 50,000 self talk thoughts per day. 80% tend to be negative. The elite performers are able to reprogram those thoughts to where at least 80% are in the positive category!!
