What’s your why?

Why do you play your game?
What makes you want to train?

There will be times you don’t want to.
Mentally fit athletes know their why.

“Why” provides the fuel for motivation.
It’s what you value.

How do you know what your values are?

Imagine your best friend giving a speech about you.
What do you want them to say?
What values do you want them to use to describe you—as a player, as a person?

That’s your why.

Life will bring dilemmas.
No perfect options.
Difficult decisions.

Write your values down.
Review them.
Use them daily.

Let them define you.
Be your compass.
Fuel your fight through adversity.
