Gain The Mental Edge - Introduction

Tiffany Mika — Tue, 15 Sep 2020 12:00:00 +1000

If you have signed up for the Successful Athletes Masterclass, which is free by the way, you will get a questionnaire from me asking you what your biggest frustrations are in your sport.

These are the common responses I get from athletes;

very self conscious
doubt
lack of self-belief
struggle with pressure
fear of making mistakes
fear of giving up
fear of not giving your all
fear of getting it wrong
looking bad when playing
fear of letting team down
not performing to best of ability
getting highly emotional when competing

All of these athletes play different sports, yet they experience the same thoughts, feelings and emotions towards their sport. What it shows us as athletes and as human beings is that we go through the same thoughts, feelings and emotions however, it is our own personal take or view point because of our past experiences in these sports that we have encountered.

For example; if you are in fear that you will make a mistake when you perform a skill, this situation where you have fear that you will make a mistake over and over will repeat over and over again. The reason for this is that you respond that same way over and over again. It's a pattern of behaviour.

But, what if you had a different approach?

And how could you approach it differently?

Listen to this Introduction on Gain the Mental Edge as we will uncover how you can do it.

Have you signed up for the FREE Successful Athletes Masterclass?

In this I show you;

what's holding you back from accomplishing your goals.
how to identify your strengths and weakness in your sport and your mental side of your sport.
how to craft your plan to go after your sports goals in a strategic way.

Unleash Your Potential Within

Tiffany Mika — Sat, 25 Jul 2020 12:00:00 +1000

Have you heard people say to you, "oh, you've got so much potential!"

And you know yourself that you have the potential but how do you unleash your potential within?

The attitude is that if you work harder, out the time, effort and energy into your craft (your sport) you will get the results when you compete. But unfortunately that is not the case, working harder doesn't mean that you will convert that into good competitive performances.

Here's a home truth before I share with you how to unleash your potential.

It will require work.
It will require time.
It will require effort.
It will require you educating yourself on you.

Because if you don't have these, you will have the potential but never live up to your potential and I don't want this to happen to you. I not only want you to reach your potential but reach beyond your potential.

Here are the 10 Steps To Unleash Your Potential Within;

Awareness
Belief
Skills
Practise
Learn From Setbacks, Mistakes & Losses
Success Habits
Consistency
Vision
Emotional Benefit
Have A Plan

This is outlined in much greater detail in this episode, so you will need to listen and take notes.

Top 4 Myths For Sports Mindset

Tiffany Mika — Sat, 27 Jun 2020 09:00:00 +1000

There are a number of myths that surround mindset skills for sport. And we will uncover those top 4 myths here in this episode.

What stills happens today is that many athletes consider that mindset training, mental skills training or sports pyschology as a stigma, stating that there must be something wrong with them if they need to be working on their mindset.

I had that too! When I was 19 years old pursuing my professional tennis career,'I thought there was something wrong with me', because I was struggling in competition and tournaments. I worked my butt off but still couldn't compete the way I wanted to do.

And what was wrong with me at that time was that I was closed off! I was closed off to learning how to improve. I had a poor mindset approach to competing and myself in general. I had what you call a fixed mindset. I was so fixed on my ideas of what I should be, that I was so closed off to learning. I was frightened to work on my mindset. I didn't know at that time it was my mindset that was holding me back, but I was fearful of working on my mind because in my head, I thought if I need help then there is definitely something wrong with me.

Before I tell you these 4 Myths, it doesn't matter how old you are, what does matter is how open you are. My wish and request for you is to you be OPEN!

Be open to deveoping you.
Be open to learning new techniques both physicaly and mentally.
Be open to feedback (even though you may see that as criticism.
Be open to feeling uncomfortable (outside your comfort zone).

Even if you have heard all of this before - JUST BE OPEN!

Here are the 4 Myths below;

Mindset Skills Training is Only for Athletes With Problems
Mindset Skills Training is Only For Elite Athletes
Mindset Skills Training is A Quick Fix
Mindset Skills Training Doesn't Work

All of these myths are explained in greater detail in this episode.

Are Mental Skills Really That Important?

Tiffany Mika — Sat, 20 Jun 2020 12:00:00 +1000

We all know that our physical skills needed to be practised regularly and refined through repetition.

We now that don't we? Because we know if we work on our techniques in our sport and our fitness, we know that we can improve how we perform as we become more technically efficient.

But when we compete and we don't perform the way we want such as;

walking off the playing field, the boxing ring, the court, the course or the pool in disgust knowing we should have performed better
choked in critical points
our mind wandered off during competition
we became angry and frustrated with our performance and put ourselves down

Is that then we have to work harder on the playing field, in the boxing ring, on the court and court or the pool?

Absolutely not!

It means that the mental and emotional components, how you deal with those situations when you compete overshadow your physical performance. It doesn't mean you work harder physically, it means that it is time to work on the mental part of your game.

It is a misconception that athletes have superior mental skills or that they are just born with it. It is also a misconception that only elite athletes should be working on refining their mental skills.

You are in the right place at the right time. There has never been an opportunity like there is today to work on strengthening your mental skills. There is so much access to videos, podcasts, book, training, courses and coaches.

It's all there waiting for you to take it in both hands and run with it!

How To Build Confidence

Tiffany Mika — Tue, 09 Jun 2020 16:00:00 +1000

How do you build confidence when you are not performing the way you want to and it brings you down?

It is tough isn't it?

And it's all well and good for someone to say "you've got this" or "you can do this" but in the next breath you could say "have I really got this? I am not so sure!"

When the confidence is not there, it means there is doubt inside of you, which really means your belief level is not yet at 100%.

BELIEF = CONFIDENCE

NOT CONFIDENT = NO BELIEF / LACK OF BELIEF

The question then becomes how do you raise your belief level when it is lacking?

It is the language that you use. We need to change the way in which you speak to yourself. We need to change the language, your self talk.

Here are 4 Steps to build your confidence;

STEP 1 - Awareness
Write down in your journal, notebook or diary any negative thoughts that pops into your head or any doubt around your sport.

STEP 2 - Re-Write The Language
Those negative thoughts and doubts that you recorded now re-write the language in a positive form.

STEP 3 - Positive Phrases
Write out a list of positive phrases you can say to yourself.

STEP 4 - Read it Out Every Day
Read out that new positive language and positive phrases on a daily basis.

Striving In Lockdown: Quick Tips The Finale

Tiffany Mika — Sat, 30 May 2020 16:00:00 +1000

These are the Quick Tips for the Lockdown Series. They are short and sweet so you get the main points to get on with it!

Quick Tip: What You Don't Want Versus What You Do Want

Take this opportunity to figure out what you want in your life.

Here is how you are going to do it;

Make a list of everything you don't want in your life
Make a list of everything you do want in your life

It will help make things much clearer for you!

Quick Tip: Managing Yourself And Your Energy

What we are focusing on in this quick tip is focusing on you managing yourself and your energy.

What I mean by this is;

looking after nutritional health
looking after your physical health
looking after your mental health (comfortable in your own skin)
looking after yourself - selfcare - downtime and rest

Here is some structure for you to start bouncing back!

Meditation
Eat Well - Proper Nutrition
Train for your sport
Focus on your goals
Hydrate
Rest
Affirmations

Quick Tip: Foundations Are Key

There are two most important areas you must be working on in your sport.

Your technical skills
Your mental skills

They both work hand in hand.

There are 2 Challenges I have set for you;

Choose a technical skill that you are weak at or avoid and work on it for 10 minutes per day.
Choose a mental skill that you are weak at or avoid and work on it for 10 minutes per day.
Work on both of these skills for 30 days and share the results with me after that time.

Quick Tip: Essential Habits

More than ever I believe that this is the time you must redefine your habits that will help you strive forward rather than having habits that leave you floundering in fear, anxiety, stress, sad or depressed.

We don't want to be floundering!

It's time to get back and re-focus!

This is what I want you to do!

Identify all the habits you have developed in lockdown.
For each habit ask the question - does this habit move me closer or further away from any goal?
(if answer is further away - eliminate the habit)
(if answer is toward - keep the habit)
What new habits can you implement to get you closer to your goal?

Quick Tip: Overcoming The Roadblocks

We have all been thrown the biggest challenge we have had to face in our lifetime thus far with the Coronavirus (Covid-19).

It has been a surreal time.

However this will not be the only challenge, obstacle or roadblock you will face in your life. There will always be more obstacles, roadblocks and challenges that will be thrown at you therefore we want to work through each one and never let any of them hold us back.

And this is the series of questions I want you to ask yourself each time you are thrown a roadblock, challenge or obstacle.

What are the roadblocks, challenges or obstacles that are in your way right now?
For each roadblock, challenge or obstacle brainstorm ideas how you can overcome them.
What are the action steps you will put in place to overcome the roadblock, challenge or obstacle?
What days will you work on these throughout your week?

Quick Tip: Grinding It Out

When I say Grinding It Out I am not referring to grinding out the lockdown or guiding you through the restrictions.

What I am talking about here is doing the work. All the striving in lockdown series is designed for you to keep going, to keep pushing and to keep moving forward.

And this is the same with the Grinding It Out episode.

The hardest part in anything that you do is "the work".

Here is how you want to approach Grinding It Out;

Pick 6 areas in your sport that will move you closer to accomplishing your big sports dream.
Pick 3 out of those 6 areas you have identified and work on them every second day.
The other 3 areas left over work on them the alternate days.

Quick Tip: Take Control Of Your Emotions

How you feel is the result of how you think and what are your beliefs.

However here are the 3 main actions steps you can work on in taking control of your emotions.

Positive Phrases when you compete - what are positive phrases you can use when you are competing?
Stop & Take A Breath - if you can stop for a moment and breathe - regain your thoughts and slow down.
Focus on Staying In The Moment - just do the best you can do in the moment.

Quick Tip: Being Consistent

Being consistent is one of the major keys to being successful.

Especially with how you operate as a person and as an athlete.

What can you be consistent with?

Your practise
Your training
Your technical skills
Your mental skills
Your nutritional system
Your belief system

And when you are consistent, that regularity compounds over time to give you the results you are wanting.

Here are the quick tips;

Choose a skill you are inconsistent with in your sport.
Practise that skill for 10 minutes per day.
Do it for 30 days straight!

Check your results in 30 days.

Quick Tip: Learning From Feedback

How do you progress in your sport?

How do you progress in your life?

You learn from feedback!

Learning from feedback is crucial for your development in your sport and in your life. Any mistakes that you make remember it is just feedback. And we all make mistakes regularly.

Here is a simple exercise for you to do;

Identify what mistakes you have made today.
What was the feedback you received from the mistakes?
From what you have discovered, what are you going to do to move forward.

Have you signed up for the FREE Successful Athletes Masterclass?

how to get your mindset right for striving towards your future (your destiny).
how to identify your strengths and weakness in your sport and your mental side of your sport.
how to craft your plan to go after your sports goals in a strategic way.

Striving In Lockdown: Learning From Feedback

Tiffany Mika — Tue, 26 May 2020 16:00:00 +1000

How do you progress in your sport?

How do you progress in your life?

You learn from feedback!

Of course there will be positive feedback and negative feedback but I believe negative feedback can also be seen as positive feedback as it shows you what not to do!

When things are working well - positive feedback - it's telling you what you are doing is working, therefore you keep going.

When things are not working - negative feedback - -it is showing you what not to do therfore it will be time to make a change.

What we want to do is to devise strategies to overcome those areas that are not working.

By the way this is what we work on in the Get Focused Academy www.tiffanymika.com/gf-academy plus the Athlete Success System which is in the Get Focused Academy!

Learning from feedback is crucial for your development in your sport and in your life. Any mistakes that you make remember it is just feedback. And we all make mistakes regularly.

Here is a simple exercise for you to do;

Identify what mistakes you have made today.
What was the feedback you received from the mistakes?
From what you have discovered, what are you going to do to move forward.

Striving In Lockdown: Being Consistent

Tiffany Mika — Sun, 24 May 2020 16:00:00 +1000

Being consistent is one of the major keys to being successful.

And you must be consistent with;

your positive thoughts
your mechanically efficient technique
your nutritional system
your training and fitness
your strength training
your practise
how you perform in your sport

Especially with how you operate as a person and as an athlete.

Because you have had to make some changes like I have been talking about in the Lockdown Series, I want you to understand how important more than ever it for you to be consistent. Just because things have changed doesn't mean that you can't be consistent because you can!

I want you to take this on as an opportunity to;

grow and improve you
improve your fitness
improve your technical aspects of your sport
improve your nutrition
improve your strength
improve your mind
improve your structure
improve your systems
improve your habits

AND BE CONSISTENT WITH IT!

What can you be consistent with?

Your practise
Your training
Your technical skills
Your mental skills
Your nutritional system
Your belief system

And when you are consistent, that regularity compounds over time to give you the results you are wanting.

The most important in my opinion is Your BELIEF SYSTEM!

Believing in you needs to done on a consistent basis.

Like I always say...

on these episodes.
in the Get Focused Academy,
in the Successful Athletes Masterclass,
in my book 'FOCUS - How to reach your potential in sport, business and life', If you believe it is possible it will happen!

Here is what you can focus on from this episode;

Choose a skill you are inconsistent with in your sport.
Practise that skill for 10 minutes per day.
Do it for 30 days straight!
Check your results in 30 days.

You will see an improvement!

Striving In Lockdown: Take Control Of Your Emotions

Tiffany Mika — Fri, 22 May 2020 10:00:00 +1000

The exciting thing we are starting to experience is that restrictions are starting to be lifted. And we are sarting to find some form of normal.

It is however been an emotional rollacoaster for all of us. All of our lives have been affected in different ways. And we react in different ways to what gets thrown at us.

I have seen Covid-19 (Coronavirus) as an opportunity for change. And what I mean by an opportunity is this;

we have learned to be creative with training and practise
by being creative we have learned new ways to train and practise
it's taken you out of your normal
it's forced you to feel uncomfortable
you are learning new skills

As you can see Covid-19 has had an opportunity for you to;

upskill your skills
improve yourself

But what does this have to do with taking control of your emotions?

Everything!

How you feel is the result of how you think and what are your beliefs. And how you respond to a crisis is how and what you think of as a crisis.

Some people find a crisis as devastating and go into victim mode, poor little me and make excuses. And some people go into the mode of rise above the crisis. They work on ways to solve the problem, what I call a problem fixer or solution maker.

So let's talk about your sport and how you cope with that;

Are you in victim mode, poor little me and making excuses?
Or do you believe you are a solution maker?

This is all explained in much greater detail in this episode.

However here are the 3 main actions steps you can work on in taking control of your emotions.

Positive Phrases when you compete - what are positive phrases you can use when you are competing?
Stop & Take A Breath - if you can stop for a moment and breathe - regain your thoughts and slow down.
Focus on Staying In The Moment - just do the best you can do in the moment.

Striving In Lockdown: Grinding It Out

Tiffany Mika — Tue, 19 May 2020 14:00:00 +1000

When I say Grinding It Out I am not referring to grinding out the lockdown or guiding you through the restrictions.

What I am talking about here is doing the work. All the striving in lockdown series is designed for you to keep going, to keep pushing and to keep moving forward.

And this is the same with the Grinding It Out epsiode.

The hardest part in anything that you do is "the work".

As you know I talk about setting goals, writing up your goals for the year, the quarter, the month, the week and the day to remind yourself where you are headed. But you won't accomplish it and you won't crush it if you don't do the work.

What I want you to understand is that you have to be strategic when you are grinding it out.

It will be the quality work, the quality training and the quality practise you put in versus the quantity (amount of time).

All explained in much greater detail in this episode.

Here is how you want to approach Grinding It Out;

Pick 6 areas in your sport that will move you closer to accomplishing your big sports dream.
Pick 3 out of those 6 areas you have identified and work on them every second day.
The other 3 areas left over work on them the alternate days.

Remember it is the quality of the effort that will give you the results that you want.

Let's GO!

Striving In Lockdown: Essential Habits

Tiffany Mika — Fri, 15 May 2020 09:00:00 +1000

More than ever I believe that this is the time you must redefine your habits that will help you strive forward rather than having habits that leave you flundering in fear, anxiety, stress, sad or depressed.

We don't want to be floundering!

It's easy to stop.
It's easy to give up.
It's easy not to work.
It's easy to do nothing.

This is because we have had our purpose taken away from us and we have lost control in our sport and in our lives.

However, you can take the control back in your life and because we are starting to come out of lockdown restrictions from around the world, it will be easy to keep going with the habits we have picked up when we have been more confined.

Here are some habits you may have picked up;

going to bed later than normal.
sleeping in.
eating junk food alot more.
drinking sugary drinks.
not training.
not practicing.
not working on our mindset.
not focused on our goals.
being lazy in general.

Simply because we were told to stay at home. Some of use have treated it more like a holiday. But when we get into holiday mode then we get into those habits that don't serve us.

It's time to get back and re-focus!

This is what I want you to do!

Identify all the habits you have developed in lockdown.
For each habit ask the question - does this habit move me closer or further away from any goal?
(if answer is further away - eliminate the habit)
(if answer is toward - keep the habit)
What new habits can you impliment to get you closer to your goal?

Let's GO!

Striving In Lockdown: Foundations Are Key

Tiffany Mika — Tue, 12 May 2020 16:00:00 +1000

Welcome to the Striving in Lockdown series.

We can get complacent being in lockdown but we will not let this happen to us, will we? Of course not!

There are two most important areas you must be working on in your sport.

Your technical skills
Your mental skills

They both work hand in hand.

How your mental approach is to your technical skills will affect whether you master your techincal skills. How your mental approach is to your mental skills will also affect whether you master your mental side of your game.

At this moment in time, because of Covid-19 you have an opportunity here to knuckle down and improve your technical skills and your mental skills.

Why is there an opportunity?

Because you are not competing therefore you have an opportunity to refine and work on your skills. Your skills are the foundations so we want to ensure you take advantage of working on them.

There are 2 Challenges I have set for you;

Choose a technical skill that you are weak at or avoid and work on it for 10 minutes per day.
Choose a mental skill that you are weak at or avoid and work on it for 10 minutes per day.
Work on both of these skills for 30 days and share the results with me after that time.

Why 10 minutes only?

Listen to the detail in this episode.

It's time to get to work and keep moving forward. Let's GO!

Striving In Lockdown: Managing Yourself And Your Energy

Tiffany Mika — Sun, 10 May 2020 06:00:00 +1000

Welcome to the Striving in Lockdown series.

What we are focusing on in this episode is focusing on you managing yourself and your energy.

What I mean by this is;

looking after nutritional health
looking after your physical health
looking after your mental health (comfortable in your own skin)
looking after yourself - selfcare - downtime and rest

By you doing all of this will help manage your energy levels too.

We are challenged right now is the sense of we have been forced to take a break from our sport and it is easy then to move into holiday/vacation mode.

What happens we we shift into holiday mode?

we don't train as intensely as we normally do - if we do any training at all
we don't practice for our sport
we don't eat high performance foods that we normally eat
we sleep in
we go to bed late
we sit around and watch more tv
we play extra video games etc.

We take a complete break from our sport.

But how long have you been taking a break from your sport?
6 or 8 weeks?
Maybe more?

When you get back to training for your sport, it's going to be tougher to get back because you have lost all your condititioning mentally, physically and nutritionally as you have let yourself go.

Therefore you will find it hard to get back to where you were if you continue down this path.

The question then becomes how do you bounce back?

Here is some structure for you to start bouncing back!

Meditation
Eat Well - Proper Nutrition
Train for your sport
Focus on your goals
Hydrate
Rest
Affirmations

For more detailed information, make sure you listen to this episode.

By you starting on this structure, you will feel better because;

you are making the effort
you are more focused on your goals
you are eating and hydrating yourself properly
calmer in your mind
taking time out for self care
feeding positivity into your mind

It's time to get to work and keep moving forward. Let's GO!

Striving In Lockdown: What You Don't Want Versus What You Do Want

Tiffany Mika — Fri, 08 May 2020 08:00:00 +1000

This is the first part of the Striving in Lockdown Series.

We are going to be focused throughout this series on what is going to help you strive and not dive whilst you are in lockdown. We want to have the approach that we are going to be moving forward rather than allowing what is occuring with Covid-19 hold us back.

It is very easy for us to be distracted right now;

we are not competing in our sport
some of us are no longer working
our school situation has changed from the classroom to the kitchen table, lounge room or bedroom
many businesses have shut down
people have lost loved ones
economies are crumbling around the world
there is talk of restrictions being removed and the fear of a second wave
there are fears whether we can recover from this financially
there are fears whether we can recover from this mentally
there is no guarantee when life will get back to normal again
there is so much out in the world we don't know
everything is so uncertain

When the lockdown initially occurred we all went through some form of fear;

how long will this last?

Our world as we knew it was turned upside down.

But time has gone on and some of us have been living with restrictions for 6 to 8 weeks already.

We have had to adapt to changes;

some people are ok with change (I find athletes cope better)
some people are not ok and they really struggle

Our lives as we knew it has been changed for the time being. It's tough mentally and it's tough emotionally.
We all cope with challenges differently.

If you are still at school your challenges will be different to your parents;

you are not competiting in your sport
you are socialising with your friends in the same way
you are doing your schooling from home with your siblings
you have to figure stuff out alone
your training and your practicing in your sport has changed
it's frustrating because you have no control over what is happening with the pandemic
when you have no control - you experience frustration, anger and fear (whole array of emotions)

Then there is your parents;

the fear of losing their job or business
how are they going to support you and your siblings
trying to find work
trying to make ends meet
trying to survive

We will have our different levels of how we will survive.

However, I also want you to see this as a time of opportunity of growth for you.

How?

Getting clear on what you absolutely want in your life. Life is short and you've got to take advantage of this time you have now. Because time will just keep ticking and all of a sudden you will be much, much older and think where has the time gone?

Let's get clear here and answer the following 2 Questions;

What don't you want in your life? (Write out in detail what you don't want in your life).
What do you want in your life? (Write out in detail what you do want in your life).

It's time to get to work and keep moving forward. Let's GO!

What Must You Focus On When You Compete?

Tiffany Mika — Tue, 05 May 2020 16:00:00 +1000

If I was to ask you the question, "what must you focus on when you compete?"

What would your response be?

I have a good feeling that you are going to say , "WIN!"

And of course you want to win, who doesn't? But just focusing on winning will not give you the results you want.

If you focus on the result, you don't play anywhere near your capabilities because you are focusing on the wrong thing. You are focusing on the goal.

Absolutely it is important to set the goal because that is your destination but, there are a series of steps that it is going to take to get you there.

One of the most important steps is;
'Staying in the Moment'.

When you think about it, whether you have competed, practiced or trained, when has it been your best session?

It's that feeling you get (in a zone) that you are calm, you anticipate well and you feel like you can do anything.

Getting that result you want, when you consider this, it is a series of 'staying in the moments' that will help bring out your better performances that will give you better results.

How do you do that?

Here's what to focus on;

When you go out to train and/or practice for your sport I want you to work on staying in the moment.
As soon as you notice your mind drifting see if you can bring your mind back to focusing on what you are doing.
Train yourself to feel the technique by staying in the moment and the more you practice this eventually it will flow.

how to identify your strengths and weakness in your sport and your mental side of your sport.
how to craft your plan to go after your sports goals in a strategic way.

Is There Such A Thing As Good Mistakes?

Tiffany Mika — Thu, 30 Apr 2020 13:45:00 +1000

Have you ever heard of mistakes being good? We get taught through school that mistakes are bad and you are either right or wrong. It is very much black or white.

In sport if you make mistakes it's either a win or a loss. And in business it is either succeed or fail.

However, we are brought up thinking:

mistakes are bad
mistakes are wrong
mistakes are a failure

And then what paralyses us?

It's the fear of making mistakes.

When you are competing or even practicing in your sport and you start to doubt whether you can actually execute the skill or pattern of play well enough, you will make a mistake.

It is where you are focusing your attention in that moment.

Therefore if you are focusing on that fear of making a mistake (because we are taught that mistakes are bad) then what do you think that will happen?

You are right! A mistake will occur!

The question then becomes, "how do we see mistakes as good?"

This will all come down to your attitude.

And your attitude will be that every mistake you make is FEEDBACK!

All that mistake that occurred has told you is that what you have done in that moment in time did not work. And if you focus on mistakes are good and they are just Feedback then you are on your way to improvement.

What can you do from now on?

Learn from your mistakes
Keep working on staying in the moment

Be Curious And Start With A Beginner's Mind

Tiffany Mika — Tue, 28 Apr 2020 16:00:00 +1000

I had the opportunity of meeting two incredibly successful and well known people just recently. These two are well know world wide. They happened to be playing at the golf club where I work and I asked the question when they completed their round, "how did you go?"

The response was "didn't play very well, she only does things that she is good at!"

And that response I put into the back of my mind because I wanted to discuss this comment with you in this episode. This couple whom I talk about in no way do I denigrate them, I have a huge admiration for the both of them as they are both masters at their craft. I just found the response interesting because it came from a world champion.

If you only do things that you are good at, how do you learn?

Well, you don't, you limit yourself and you limit your deveopment.

Therefore when you take on something new there are two approaches you must have;

Always have the mindset of a beginner and learn the skills properly
Be curious to know how to get better

Ensure you listen to this episode as I discuss with you why you must have this mindset approach.

Are You Mentally Ready To Compete?

Tiffany Mika — Sat, 25 Apr 2020 11:00:00 +1000

At some point in the future sport competition will resume. We do't have a firm date on that yet but it will happen.

And that is exciting because even though we don't know when... we know that it will happen.

However, the question I have for you is;

Are You Mentally Ready For Competition?

Because there are athletes out there in the world who have surrcombed to lockdown. They have taken it on to do no training, no prctice of skills, eat junk food, play video games and lounge around.

Yes it's good to take time out and I am a big fan of that because to have a break or having recovery time is just as important developing your skills. But, it can be taken to the extreme.

When we are this form, lockdown or restrictions as we are all experiencing it is really easy to do nothing. It's harder to make the effort and do the work.

So how do we get mentally prepared for competition?

Hone Your Skills
Craft Your Perfect Game Plan
Visualise Your Perfect Game Plan

This is explained in much greater detail in this episode. Get out your note book and take notes. I look forward to hearing what you come up with here.

Not Improving As Fast As You Would Like?

Tiffany Mika — Tue, 21 Apr 2020 07:00:00 +1000

When we look at our sport we judge ourselves on whether we have won or lost to whether we are improving. And that's actually not the right way to look at it. If you judge yourself purely on whether you have had a win or a loss, then we have a problem.

What does it mean that you are not improving as fast as you would like?

Does that mean that you are not winning?

Not winning means that you have shown that there are areas in your sport that you are weak and that your level of performance in competition is not where you would like it to be. Therefore, there are two elements you must look at in your sport.

Your weaknesses
Your performance level during competition

Let's look at your WEAKNESSES.

Here are what some of those weaknesses could be;

lack of belief
poor mental skills
poor game play
lack of speed
lack of endurance
your inability to cope with pressure
no routines in your game
poor technique

There can be so much more but you can see we are creating a list.

Let's look at your PERFORMANCE LEVEL DURING COMPETITION

Here are what could be missing when you are competing;

no trust in your technique
lack of belief
poor self talk
lack of speed and endurance
struggles with pressure from self, peers, coach and parents
no game plan
no routines
no game structure
no plan to take control
lack of focus
dictated by your emotions

Don't look at things on the surface. It is much deeper than that. This is why we have to go deeper and figure out why you are not improving as fast as you would like.

Now that you understand this, this is what you must do now;

Managing Your Mindset Through Lockdown

Tiffany Mika — Thu, 16 Apr 2020 12:00:00 +1000

All around the world we are going through some form of lockdown.

There are restrictions placed on us;

social distancing
no parties
no hanging out with friends
no social gatherings
online school learning
people are losing their jobs
economies around the world are in shutdown or a coma

And then there is YOU!

YOU THE ATHLETE!

You have had your wings clipped. You can't compete in your sport and you can't train and practice the way you normally do.

So we are all going through this adjustment process. Many people don't like change.

However, that is not you. Because you are an athlete, you are accustomed to change and you can adapt. But that doesn't mean that we don't get affected. It is normal to be affected.

There is so much uncertainty;

we don't know when we will get back to normal
we don't know when we can compete again
will this happen again

The question then is asked, "Ok Tiff, how do I manage my mindset during lockdown?"

The answer - FOCUS ON YOUR VISION

Write out your goals/outcomes/results for what you want to accomplish by the end of the;

quarter
month
week
day

And keep focusing on the vision!

This is what you can control. This is how you manage your mindset during lockdown and at any time. This is a powerful skill to implement.

Have you signed up for the Successful Athletes Masterclass?

It's a FREE training series.

You will be identifying what is holding you back.
You will be taking an inventory of the skills and mental skills you will need to achieve the level you are wanting to attain.

What To Do When You Hit A Plateau

Tiffany Mika — Tue, 14 Apr 2020 14:00:00 +1000

How would you know if you have hit a plateau?

Let's have a look at what a plateau looks like;

you are working really hard and not seeng any change.
the harder you work you feel like you are going backwards.
there is no progress in your development.
you question whether your training and practice methods are right.
you are furstrated because there is no change.
you are angry.
you question and doubt yourself, are you doing the right things?

Should you make changes or should you keep going?

And yes it's a really frustrating place to be in because you are not seeing any progress and we always like to see progress. We actually like to see it all the time. And if we don't see it we believe we are not improving.

The reason for that is because we always want to be moving forward.

This is what happens when we set a goal;

we plan it out.
we have all the elements in the plan we have to work on.
we set goals for the year, quarter, month, week and day that we want to accomplish.

It's exciting because we have set the vision for what we want.

Then, we begin to work on the plan.

Initially it is exciting because it is new and a change from what we were doing before and we get right down into it and work really hard at it.

And yes we see progress in the beginning therefore, we expect that it will continue.

But at some point it slows down;

it gets boring.
it gets hard.
it gets frustrating.

The progress has slowed down or it feels as though it has stopped.

What do you do?

Do you stop, do you keep going or do you make changes?

How do you know if the progress has stopped?

Just by how you feel or whether you have won or lost?

Well, that won't give you a good enough indication. What we want to see is see the data. It is much deeper than a win or a loss.

This is all explained in detail in this episode so make sure you listen and get your note book out. You have some work to do.

Here are the 6 Steps of what to do if you hit a plateau:

Identify a specific are in your sport that needs work.
Create a way to track that area.
Do it over a 4 week period.
Compare the data you have accumulated.
If you see progress keep going - If you don't do no.6.
Break down specifics in technqiue to improve.

How To Become Mentally Stronger

Tiffany Mika — Thu, 09 Apr 2020 10:00:00 +1000

This is crucial that you work on your mental strength if you want to become the athlete you want to become.

If you are not mentally strong;

you will crumble
you will lose
you will be devastated
it will be tough
it will be hard
doubts will creep in
your performance level will drop
you will lose motivation
you will avoid doing the hard work
you will avoid training
you will question whether you want to go after your sports dream.

But you know it doesn't have to be this way.

What you are doing as an athlete is hard work and it is tough, really tough.

Those athletes who make you know the ones who are in the top 1%, why are they there?
Because the believe they deserve to be there, they believe 100% in themselves, they don't question it. They keep working on getting better.

But in order for you to get to the top, we have to build your mental strength.

How do we do that?

We begin with this 2 Step Process in Becoming Mentally Stronger.

Step 1:
Make a list of all the negative words and phrases that you use.
e.g. I am not quick enough, I am slow, Why are you even trying.

Step 2:
New Belief Language
Next to each negative phrase re-write your new belief language.
For example;
Negative phrase - "I am not fast enough"
New Belief Language - "I work on getting faster everyday"

This is just the beginning but understand that this is a process you must go through. In order for you to become mentally stronger we have to identify the negative words and phrases that you are using. We then have to re-wire your thinking with "New Belief Language".

This is all explained in detail in this episode so make sure you listen and get your note book out. You have some work to do.

Focus On What You Can Control

Tiffany Mika — Fri, 27 Mar 2020 10:00:00 +1100

Eveything feels like it is at a stand still right now.

No one is sure what to do... none of us are.

But the most important thing is that we must endeavour to stay safe and follow what is recommended.

Numerous businesses, schools, sporting facilities and gyms are being shut down for who knows how long. Sporting competitions are on hold.

It can be easy to get caught up in the hysteria, what the media updates tell you and the lockdowns. There are fears. A big fear is the fear of the unknown. I spoke about that in the episode "What Paralyses Us" https://tiffanymikapodcast.fireside.fm/what-paralyses-us. I spoke about how fear of the unknown can cause us to get paralysed because we don't know what will happen.

Then what happens is that we start to create stories in our mind of different senarios of what could happen, we then feel anxious and uneasy. But remember they are just stories, they are not true, nothing has happened.

For you now, you can't control what is going on in the outside world - but you can control your thoughts and how you want to show up in the world.

So let's do something about this... let's craft the future you want to see for yoursel.

Create Your Manifesto

Your Sport - what is your ultimate vision for your sport? Explain here in detail.
Your Business - what is your ultimate vision for your business? Explain here in detail.
Your Life - what is your ultimate vision for your life? Explain here in detail.
Your Relationships - what is your ultimate vision for your relationships? Explain here in detail.
Your Health & Fitness - what is your ultimate vision for your health and fitness? Explain here in detail.

What to Do Next...

Explain each section in detail.
Record it.
Put some nice background music in it.
Listen to it everyday.

START EVERY DAY LISTENING TO YOUR MANIFESTO SO THAT YOU ARE SETTING YOURSELF UP FOR A SUCCESSFUL DAY!

Take Back The Control What You Can Control.

We Don't Come With A Handbook - Create Your Handbook For Your Future

Tiffany Mika — Wed, 25 Mar 2020 09:00:00 +1100

We don't come with a handbook is true.

We are born and no one knows what to do with us and as we grow most of what we do is figured out along the way.

So let's take the time away from the Coronavirus and get our minds focused on something else. Let's create a handbook for our future.

There is so much we don't know. That's why we go and learn, we copy those who have gone before us, we read books, listen to podcasts and audio books, we watch videos and consume as much as we can because we want to know what to do and how to do it. And of course how to get there!

And that's why I wrote my book FOCUS... to give you a guide, what to do, how to do it and how to get there. www.tiffanymika.com/focus

Everything we go through;

In pursuit of the sport we want to turn professional
The injury that has occurred and stops us from practicing and competing
The coronovirus and the uncertainty
The business we want to build

IT IS ALL A PROCESS!

That means that whatever we go through, it will be a process that we have to work through. Sometimes we are not sure of the process as it unfolds as we go along... but it is still a process.

There is so much information out there in the world telling you what to do, how to do it and how to get there.

But what they don't tell you is HOW LONG IT WILL TAKE!

No one prepares you for that.

It is explained in much greater detail in this episode however let's develop your process... your handbook for the future. And we will do this in phases. Yes we can put a time frame on this but if you don't accomplish what you set for yourself, just be aware that the phase you are working through may take longer than anticipated.

So the answer there is to - KEEP GOING!

5 PHASES
Phase 1
CURRENT REALITY

Where are you now? What is your current reality?

How To Use Your Education To Conquer Your Sports Goals

Tiffany Mika — Tue, 17 Mar 2020 07:00:00 +1100

How could you use your education to conquer your sports goals?

How do they relate to each other?

You will be surprised.

If you are struggling to get through your work at school or college and study there is a great principle to use called the Pomodoro Technique. It's a time management method developed by Francesco Cirillo in the 1980's.

This technique uses a timer to break down your workload into smaller time intervals.

I have tested various time intervals to be productive. I have found that when I have a big project I am working on, or I am heavily invested in a course that I am studying etc, what I have found that works best is to work for 45 minutes and then take a 15 minute break.

What works well is that we work well in time frames, we work better to deadlines. Hence if you have a time frame that you are working in, you are much more effective and much more efficient.

What if you can't get motivated to do work on an assignment or you have a paper due and you just can't get yourself to work on it?

Then do it in smaller chunks of time. Try doing it for 10 minutes. You will say to yourself "yeah, 10 minutes, I can work on it for 10 minutes!" If you think about it you have 1440 minutes in the day so 10 minutes will be a breeze!

So how does this help you with your sport?

To work this way it teaches you;

How to focus!
How to stay in the moment!

How you are with one thing is how you are with everything.

3 Steps to Conquer Your Education

Have a mantra before you begin "I am training my mind to be more focused for my sport"
Easier Work - do it in 45 minute time blocks.
Challenging Work - do it in 10 minute time blocks.

And by doing it this way trains your mind to focus!

POWER TO YOU!

Have you signed up for the FREE Successful Athletes Masterclass?

In this I show you;

what's holding you back from accomplishing your goals.
how to get your mindset right for striving towards your future (your destiny).
how to identify your strengths and weakness in your sport and your mental side of your sport.
how to craft your plan to go after your sports goals in a strategic way.

Don't Let Others Dictate Your Future

Tiffany Mika — Thu, 12 Mar 2020 13:00:00 +1100

Never let anyone dicate to you your future.

The short reason is because you are the one in the drivers seat and you are the one who is control. Your destiny is in your hands.

The long reason is this, firstly we have our goals set for the future and we know what we want to accomplish. We athletes we are a different breed;

we think differently to most.
we want to achieve great heights in our sport.
we create our own path.
we are blazing down trails that most people haven't gone down before (only those athletes before us).
and most people are not game enough to do what we do.

So when someone is not on the same wave length as you and they don't think the same way as you, they don't get it. They ask questions like;

why are you setting goals?
why are you working so hard?
why don't you want to hang out this afternoon?
why do you plan out your days, weeks and months?

And you know what, that's ok! They don't have to think like you do, they are not wrong they are just different, just as you are different to them.

But what happens when your coach makes the decision that you are not good enough for the squad?

What happens if they make the decision that your pathway to becoming the athlete you want to become is over? And you have only just begun?

What do you do?

This is explained in greater detail in this episode.

However get this message clear today!

If you are not getting the results yet;

it may be time to change the strategy?
it may be time to change the coach?

There is not just one strategy that will be the answer to your goals. There will not be just one coach who will be the answer to your goals.

It will be a series of;

strategies
advice from various experts
trialing and testing
making changes to techniques and skills
working with different coaches
improving and changing routines
working through various mindset techiques

There is not just one way or one method.

The message in this episode today is NEVER LET ANYONE DICTATE YOUR FUTURE!

Have you signed up for the FREE Successful Athletes Masterclass?

In this I show you;

what's holding you back from accomplishing your goals.
how to get your mindset right for striving towards your future (your destiny).
how to identify your strengths and weakness in your sport and your mental side of your sport.
how to craft your plan to go after your sports goals in a strategic way.

How To Crush It In Competition Like You Do In Practice

Tiffany Mika — Fri, 28 Feb 2020 06:00:00 +1100

Do you find that you crush it in practice?

Yet on game day you can't compete at a high level that you know you are capable. It's not that you don't work hard because you do. You work your butt off!

But why can't you crush it in competition like you do in practice?

There will be a number of reasons however, we are going to focus this one. And that is that you don't practie under pressure.

What I mean by that is that you don't simulate pressure experiences that come up during competition therefore you don't know how to deal with it.

When you don't know how to deal with pressure situations that arise in competition you don't know how to deal with it.

What happens then?

you panic
you choke
you freak out

Therefore your performance level drops. This drop in level of performance strems from a series of sequences.

Thoughts
Feelings
Actions
Results

This is broken down and explained in much greater detail in this episode so make sure you listen to it.

However there are two major areas that we need to check in with when dealing with pressure!

Mindset - which are your thoughts
Emotions - your feelings

What else can you do?

Practice Pressure Situations! (again this is broken down and explained in greater detail in this episode).

3 Areas To Crush It In Competition

Mindset - for competition and during competition.
Controlling Emotions - dealing with situations.
Practice Pressure Situations - dealing with pressure.

If you are struggling with your mindset in your sport.
If you freak out under pressure.
You get nervous and you are fearing making mistakes.
You get paralysed because you are worried about how you will play.
You are confident in practice but lose all confidence in matches.
You can't make it work in competition like you do in practice.
You are so frustrated because you can't understand why you are not playing better than you should.

I have put together a FREE VIDEO TRAINING for you.

We identify;

your current mindset and beliefs about why you are playing poorly in competition, so that you are not being held back and you are confident.
the type of emotions you are struggling with,
how to cope with pressure situations
design a well crafted plan so that you are crushing it in competition just like you are in practice.

What To Do If You Get Benched In Your Sport Every Week

Tiffany Mika — Thu, 27 Feb 2020 08:00:00 +1100

You show up to practice, you give it your all!

You work hard with your team and in practice you absolutely crush it!

Yet you still don't get picked to play on game day. You sit on the bench and watch your team mates compete.

What thoughts run through your mind when this happens?

you create doubts in your mind whether you are good enough.
there are the usual politics that go on in the team - of course you don't get picked.
you don't get picked because you aren't one of the coach's favourites.
you start to compare yourself to the rest of the team.
your performance level drops and stop playing at a high level that you know you are capable to compete at that level.
you feel like it's a constant struggle.

What do you do?

The worst possible thing that you can do for yourself is to stay in this mindset as it will be destructive.

Here is a 2 step plan for you below;

Step 1 - Meet with your coach and ask questions.

Why aren't I getting picked to play with the team in competitions? (just listen and take notes).
What do I need to do to get picked into the team to compete? (suggestion of drills to do etc).

Step 2 - Devise A Plan.

Everything that you have learned from your coach, now you put the plan in place.
What are you going to do?
How you are going to do it?
When are you going to do it?

Now get to work!

Make sure you listen the this episode as explained in great detail of understanding for you. Get your note book ready and take notes.

If you are struggling in your sport.
If you are not getting picked in the team to play on game day.
If you are constantly benched throughout the season.
When you finally get picked you don't play well, you miss shots you shouldn't miss.
You don't show the high level of play you know you are capable.
You struggle with staying motivated because the hard work is not paying off yet.

I have put together a FREE VIDEO TRAINING for you.

We identify;

what is holding you back from getting the results you work so hard for.
we work on how to create more wins in your sport.
show you step by step how to plan it out to make it happen.

Tiffany Mika — Thu, 13 Feb 2020 13:00:00 +1100

This will be the one thing that will hold us back,.

The Fear Of Pain (it's happened before)
The Fear Of the Unknown (it hasn't happened before)

However, how and what can we do to stop the fear from paralysing us?

What's Your Game Plan This Christmas - Temptations A Plenty

Tiffany Mika — Sat, 21 Dec 2019 12:00:00 +1100

This is one of the most challenging and temptating times of the year for lots of different reasons.

But what we want to do here is to devise 2 game plans how to manage ourselves throughout the holiday season. Because some high performers will tell you to keep pushing through and to keep going!

I will tell you the opposite.

You must have a break and you must take time off and time out from your regular routine. You must do this because you want to rest and recover from the year! It's been a big one. Plus it's important that you go and do some fun exciting activities you have wanted to do but just haven't go there yet.

Remember life is about exploring too!

Game Plan 1 - Rest & Recovery Plan

Decide how much time off or break time you will have.
Set some fun activities you would like to do.
Nominate the days you will do the fun activities.
Nominate the days you will do light training.
What days will you plan to do nothing and just see what the day brings.

That's break time!

But what about food?

As athletes and high performers we can become obsessed over food, we use it to get the edge and to get the best performances out of us that we can. When we obssess about food it can dominate us especially at Christmas time as there are lots of yummy foods and plemty of parties, therefore there will be plenty of temptations.

Thr first thing I want you to understand that it's ok to enjoy these foods without the guilt. You deserve it and should enjoy it. You've worked hard all year therefore give yourself permission to eat without the guilt.

The secret it how to manage it!

Game Plan 2 - Intermittent Fasting
Give yourself a 16 hour window where you are fasting after you have been out at a party. Drink plenty of water and allow your body to recover. This is explained in much greater detail in this episode.

Get out your journal and take notes, this is a game changer.

Trust The Process

Tiffany Mika — Fri, 05 Apr 2019 15:00:00 +1100

What separates the successful people from the people who don't achieve what they want?

To keep things simple we have identified 3 groups.

Group 1
'The Put The Toe in the Water Group'

will jump from project to project unfinished
give it a go attitude
drift and coast
get bored and move on quickly
won't work through the obstacles when it gets hard

Group 2
'Give Everything You've Got Until You Hit Burnout Group'

grind it out, day in and day out
go all in and give everything they have got
working really hard
doing the same thing over and over expecting different results - only to end up in a similar place
hit burnout, recover and go through the same process again until hit burnout again

Group 3
'The Mastery Group'

go all in
grind it out
problem solvers
search for the solutions
working on their craft
search for ways to work more efficiently and effectively
practice and proceed at a steady level so skills become hard wired
they know and understand it takes time (the magic ingredient)
trust the process and have the faith that it will all come together

Which group are you?

Which group would you like to be in?

Let me ask you the question, are you achieving those dreams and goals you really want in your life, or are you are finding that you are never getting to them?

Of course we are still busy, but we are not really achieving what we want. In this episode you will discover a very simple way in which you can achieve your goals for the week, be productive and actually feel like you are achieving as opposed feeling as though you are on a hampster wheel, running around and around as fast as you can but getting no where.

#4: How Could Tracking Your Emotions Help You?

Tiffany Mika — Tue, 07 Aug 2018 16:00:00 +1000

How could tracking your emotions help you?

Interesting question isn't it?

How could tracking your emotions help you? Well, I thought this was a great idea that I heard in a podcast show quite some time ago, but I never got around to doing it but I always wanted to do it.

Just before I headed overseas this year for a golf tour and a trip around the south of england with my husband, I just felt it was time to track my emotions and see if there were any patterns coming up. I wanted to know how I responded to situations that came up and how I reacted to other situations.

I recorded my emotions for the next 20 days to see what went on. Now I did this at the time I was writing my book and I wanted to get it done before I was leaving to travel to Spain and Portugal for the golf tour.

After I returned from the trip I had a clear head and revisited the information that I had recorded. It was very interesting what came up.

There was absolutely no judgement of how I responded to situations - I just looked at them in how I could improve myself to grow and learn.

To hear more of the detail that was in the diary, ensure you listen to the video. Then what I learned about how I could improve myself.

My challenge and request to you is to do the same. Record your emotions for the next 20 days with no judgement and discover more about how you respond to certain situations.

For all the details ensure you watch the video.

Have an absolutely awesome day and remember, Dream Big & Go After Your Dreams.
