Episode Details

As an athlete, would you say you give more attention to the mental side of the game or the physical side of the game?

If you're like the majority of athletes, you give most of your attention to the physical side of the game. And that’s okay, and honestly expected.

I mean, the physical stuff is more in your face and tangible. It's easy to go practice your shooting form or take some cuts off the tee. It's much more difficult to train your confidence or work on your focus...or it at least seems that way.

With physical training being a lot more accessible, and focused on more during practices, it makes sense why athletes give more attention to it than the mental side of their game. But does that mean it's more important?

Absolutely not! Okay, so does that mean the mental side is more important? No, that's not what I'm saying either. In fact, I think looking at it this way is a problem in and of itself.

Instead of thinking the mental side of the game or the physical side of the game is more important, I want you to see both as equally vital ingredients to you reaching your potential as an athlete.
