Do Girls Have Equal Opportunities in Sports Today

I love it when someone accuses me of playing like a girl because these days’ girls play a lot tougher than when I was growing up. Title IX was just making an impact on athletic programs when I was in school. In 1972 when Title IX, a federal law requiring high schools and colleges that receive federal funds to provide equal opportunities for male and female students, was established it didn’t need to be fair. The boys had several sport options and the girls were cheerleaders. Even then I knew I was not cut out to be a cheerleader.

Why Triathletes Start Too Fast

"While this is tough, I am a whole lot tougher." James Loehr How fast you go out at the beginning of a race is a personal decision. Some athletes end up giving away that control without even realizing what they’re doing. Quickly you are caught up in the energy of those around you. When you finally realize you started out too fast in the race, valuable energy has been burned. Then more energy is used to regain focus, returning to your race plan.

Escape from an Uncomfortable Circumstance By Focusing on Solutions

"It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed." Theodore Roosevelt When does an inspiration transform from a dream to a goal? Why does someone decide to work toward one goal, but not another? What is the difference between making the choice to take action or not? Some people prefer to stay within their comfort zone and primarily take action on goals with favorable odds. Others like a challenge and want to see how far they can push themselves. The feeling of accomplishment is directly correlated to the difficulty of reaching a goal.

Are You a High Performing Athlete?

Peak performance. A buzz word used by coaches, trainers and athletes. What if that was only a small part of a bigger picture? By solely seeking peak performance athletes might be missing an even greater endeavor. High performance. Sounds similar, but different in quality and approach. Peak performance is a burst, hitting a high moment, then leading down to a rest period. Peaks and valleys cycle through. Consider how burnt out athletes are at the end of the season. Is the cycling of peak performance and then low performance a contributor, expending unnecessary energy?

Finding the Right Fit with a Mastermind Group to Propel You to Success

One thing which really increases the chance of long term success is having a support system. Typically when you think about your support system you will think about the people closest to you and whether they “are there for you” or not. So often I see clients say they want to grow their practice, but don’t have a support system. The people who are closest to them are the very ones encouraging them not to change. It was okay when your business was seen as a “hobby” and did not interfere with other parts of your life.

Consider your professional goals and what you want for yourself. How big do you dare to go? As children, we dream BIG. Remember how the world held so many possibilities for you? You were able to be whoever you wanted to be. As you got older, there were more influences in your life. Some of them were very limiting and narrowed your scope of possibilities.

Why Elite Athletes Seek Strategic Feedback

When you remove all the fluff and get down to the nitty gritty, coaching is primarily about feedback. How you get coached, the quality and quantity of feedback, is important. Too much feedback, or criticism without corrective suggestions, eventually backfires. Frequently athletes can’t choose their coach. On the other hand, athletes benefit from coaching. Your coach does have a responsibility to coach you well. Only part of the burden lies on your coaches shoulders.

How Old Beliefs Prevent Success in Growing Your Business

The definition of a contract in Webster’s Dictionary is “a binding agreement between two or more persons.” Contracts have many purposes. We expect contracts to define expectations and purpose as well as limitations. They clarify the parameters in the agreement. Typically, they are explicit and tangible. This is the typical view of a contract. Then there are the negative contracts. Negative contracts are little known facts which have far reaching implications. They are typically between two or more people. There is no statute of limitations.

How to Be Seen as an Expert

How you do anything is how you do everything! There is a connection between your thoughts, emotions and actions. If there is a part of your business which you are dissatisfied with, take a closer look and figure out why things are not working well.

How Your Actions Help You to Achieve Success

How often have you heard the phrase “walking your talk?” When that does not happen there is a disconnect. What you are saying and what you are doing are two different things. When you have a discrepancy between your words and your actions, your actions will be the truth. People will pay attention to what you are doing and disregard what you say. We all know people like that. When they talk, they appear very sincere. I believe they actually are sincere at that moment when they are talking.

How Perfectionism Undermines an Athletes Performance

Sometimes we get in our own way. Do you know what I mean? Recently I have been working with one of the contestants for Dancing with the Rogue Valley Stars. A BIG part of our focus was transforming her perfectionist tendencies. She knew it was preventing her from fully relaxing and allowing her dance movements to flow. When she focused on her mistakes or not messing up a part of the routine it actually increased her tension. Dancing, like most sports, requires grace and ease.

Easily Increase Your Intuition

Do you live in the past, the present or the future? Might sound like an odd question, but the majority of people, entrepreneurs included, rarely are in the present. There is so much that goes on in your daily life, whether someone wants something from you, planning to take care of the things on your to-do list, or changing a part of your business for improved results. Thoughts will stray to something which already occurred or something about to happen. When your thoughts are either in the past or considering the future, you are not in the present.

Your Self Image and Your Business

A potential client will determine whether to connect with you in less than one minute. As an entrepreneur, you are your brand. Your best foot forward helps with success.

Unless you try to do something beyond what you have already mastered, you will never grow. Ronald E. Osbo Do you know of an athlete who “knows it all?” For each suggestion there is a response. Primarily to position them, in their eyes, as “been there, done that.” Those are the uncoachable athletes. The need to look good is interfering with their potential to be excellent. Removing the mask of “knowing it all” opens you to learning opportunities. Masters don’t need to remind everyone of their greatness. Their confident presence speaks for itself.

Does Fear Prevent You from Taking the Steps to Grow Your Business

Balance. That is a powerful word. It is an empowering way to live. For many this is easier said than done. We all have an inner voice we hear as we go through the day. What tone of voice does your inner voice have, supportive or critical? Which part of you is louder, your ego or your intuition? Are you able to tell the difference? Are you more comfortable being in your head and thinking things through or do you tend to go with your gut and instinct? Your ego is self protective and typically fearful. The typical response is fight, flight or freeze.

Don’t Wait Until You Have the Perfect Plan, Take Immediate Action Now.

Have you ever felt so strongly about something that you were willing to do anything in order to reach your goal?

You had a “do anything” attitude. Once you develop a burning desire to reach a goal and you feel a strong innate sense about this new direction, your entire mindset shifts. The excuses and the resistance all of a sudden melt away.
