What's Needed


A psychologist determined what state a person and/or an athlete had to be in to perform optimally. At some point all of us could benefit by checking this list.

We need to be:

 1. "Physically relaxed 2.Low anxiety 3. Optimistic 4. Effortless 5. Alert 6. Self-confident 7. Mentally calm 8. Energized 9. Enjoyment 10. Automatic 11. Mentally focused 12. In control".

To gain the above qualities it takes practice, experience,preparation and a certain amount of time. It's all part of the process of being ready.

Work day, six hours walking and lifting.--stretched after.

What did you do?

  1. This was a recovery day walking and jogging 4 miles. Yesterday was a longer run (1.5 hours) that seemed to zap my energy today. I need to remember to make it fun and not over do!
