i. e., overthinking, impact of injuries, social media, obligations to others, pressure, getting“ stuck” either leading up to or during the competition, repeated mistakes, and so on.
How many bodybuilders do you know that spend the time refining their mental strategy?
Bottom line: elite bodybuilders do extra!
They take action by working on their mental AND physical games.
They find a way around obstacles and keep grinding through the long, competitive season. They know they can turn things around and take personal responsibility for their performances. These solutions give elite bodybuilders a sense of control over their athletic destinies and help them maximize their potential.
The things that help make an elite bodybuilder“ elite” are not an inborn quality but a combination of mental skills and decisive actions.
Those same mental skills are available to you and help you consistently overcome adversity to perform at your peak.
Among the mental skills of elite bodybuilders that YOU can develop are the following:
• High stable confidence
• Laser-focus
• Emotional management
• Visualization
• Goal setting
• Performing under pressure
• Dealing with mistakes
Talent is important, but mental toughness and strong mental skills are necessary for peak performance, and ALL bodybuilders can learn those skills.
3 key elements to develop your mental skills are:
1. Commitment – You must be WILLING to work and dedicate time to developing your mental game.
2. Planning – You need to know HOW you can learn mental skills and the resources available to you.
3. Practice – Mere knowledge about the mental aspects of peak performance won’ t improve your game. You must WORK to develop your mental game and apply those skills to competitions.
