Big Talk

Ohhh the sunset! Turns out it sets everyday, but when do you stop and appreciate it?
This is true of everything you have and do. The people and places in your lives that could be marvelled at all the time. You don’t need the perfect seat or snacks or company, just the mindful decision to enjoy it.

Do your people feel the same levels of gratitude and excitement in turning up as they did day 1. It’s something we forget that what we currently have is something we once chased. So how do you keep that energy in your place. Try telling them they are lucky to have the job and see how that works out for morale!
Thinking that every day is going to be just the same as others, same frustrations same annoyances when you arrive makes it hard to be excited for the day ahead.
There is much to be grateful for if you present it the right way!

Do we have to give up certain abilities as we age. I think if not being able to serve with your grand kids wasn’t enough drive to break through your current situation you’ve given up. You can reclaim mobility strength and confidence as you age. Would you want to know about a product that can help your current training be better or remove some barriers holding you back? I have been introduced to one that is being used in professional dressing sheds all the way to getting people off the couch. If you would like to know more reach out, it’s not often to be at the front of the line with new exciting products.

Be careful what you wish for!
When people say they want to play as a professional they only allow for the glory. For every Lions comeback there has to be a loser! The skill of emotionally rebounding has to be practiced, because if it doesn’t happen until the biggest moment of your career how do you bounce back?
What opportunities have been presented to start laying groundwork to be the type of person that can say I will learn from this and be back better.
Pro Mindset Academy

How much of it is mindset?
Everyone will agree to the importance of the mental side of their sport. But struggle to name what they are doing to get better at it. It’s easy to say how much time you spend on getting fitter stronger and more skilled. But it’s harder to say that for our mental prep. There’s definitely things we can do to help them regulate, but also we can acknowledge the work they’re already doing. We can lay some evidence down so when they tell themselves that they can do it, they will believe it. In every area of society right now we need stronger bodies but we also need stronger minds to go with them. Message me if you have someone that could benefit from this chat!
Pro Mindset Academy

“Life rarely changes in a positive way without an increase in responsibility”- James Clear.
If you lead people, this is where the transformation efforts quietly fail.
Every time you ask your team to set a goal or make a change, you’re asking them to own it. And ownership is the missing link. You can roll out the best strategy, the clearest roadmap, the most compelling vision and it will fall flat if people haven’t personally connected to why it matters to them.
Telling people to be better doesn’t work. Getting them to take responsibility for their own growth does.

That’s the gap Big Talk closes. We help you build the emotional connection that turns a directive into a commitment, because without it you’re just handing out words!

Winning and being successful don’t always look the same. Not everyone gets to hold the trophy aloft! However we all get to grow and improve with each season or year. There will always be a place to go for the trophy or contract but more importantly being the better version of yourself trumps that. How many people have achieved some individual success without their team achieving the same success.
The big wins come with becoming the type of person that wins or teams want to recruit that’s what success looks like!

With young athletes we help in Pro Mindset Academy one of our big steps is to get them to play with freedom. Don’t overthink or wait just act. When this happens we celebrate. It’s seen as success, and it is.
However sometimes this will pop up in other areas. Now that same thing is seen as troublesome. Navigating this as a young person trying to find who they are what they believe in and where their wins come from can be confusing. On one hand don’t think just go, then we say they need to stop and think before we say and do anything.
This is not making excuses it’s just a real chance to see it for what it is and that’s a young person making their way.

A oldy but a goody, “If you don’t know the destination, no wind will be favourable “.
Generic goals of I want to be stronger or faster improve my skills may as well be I want to be older!
Having a clear idea of what you need to be better at and an understanding of how much better you can be in this period are needed. Don’t let the offseason just fly by because it will be over before you know.

RUOK?
Good starting point but what happens next. Have you ever checked in and asked yourself the same question? What will you answer to the person in the mirror? What are those answers based on, is it the generic one you give without thought?
The same old question will only get you the same old responses.
Part of the Big Talk session we explore better questions that we can ask ourselves and each other.
