A big congratulations goes out to the 10 male athletes who will be representing Verve this weekend at the Mountain Sectionals. I have chills as I type this I'm so proud.
Competition can sometimes bring out the demons in our minds. I challenge all of you men and women to fight any negative or doubting thoughts this weekend. Stay focused, it is easy to get wrapped up in the competition. The difference between a gold metal and last place can be as simple as focus. What can make a good athlete a great athlete is knowing what to focus on. Be mindful to push out any negative or doubting thoughts that creep in this weekend. Replace those thoughts with an immediate image of you succeeding. Do not underestimate the power of your thoughts, take control of them and use them as a tool in your own personal victory. Focus on YOUR game and what you know YOU can do. Choose your thoughts. Have fun, laugh, smile and remember to stay cool ice cold, because you are a part of team Verve.
