🌟 Elevating Performance: Beyond "More Touches" 🌟

"MORE TOUCHES!" It used to be my coaching mantra. And sure, it makes sense, doesn't it? If our athletes are struggling with a skill, they must need more training.

But there's a vital piece of the puzzle that often gets overlooked—the mental skills that underpin every physical action.

Think about it: preparation, focus, stress management, handling pressure, self-talk—these are just a few of the mental aspects that play into performance.

It's about recognizing that there's SO much more to mastering a skill than simply repeating it over and over again.

That's why I'm passionate about shifting the conversation. Yes, practice and repetition are crucial, but equally important is nurturing the mental resilience and mindset needed to excel under pressure.

It's about equipping our athletes with the tools to not just perform, but to thrive in any situation they encounter.

So, the next time you hear "MORE TOUCHES!" remember that true mastery goes beyond the physical—it's about honing the mind as much as the body. 💪🧠
