Self-belief and confidence come from repetitive deliberate practice done on purpose.   It’s through this practice that allow me to have more freedom to create the game I want in the field and hence my teammates will also enjoy being in the game with me. That brings the best relationships among us. And that brings overall enjoyment and happiness to our lives as athletes.   Press and hold link to visit the page Listen to the episode, try it out yourself and share your comments with us on the Show Notes   Best Resource: Download your Cheat Sheet Everything you need to get started - StarPlayer Academy Resources Page Music: Hitman - Kevin MacLeod Hitman by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution license (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/) Source: http://i

Now remember that you don’t have to say anything to anyone or to prove to them you are the worthy one.   What is more important?

Michael Phelps said: “When I’m focused, there is not a single thing, person, anything that can stand in my way of my doing something. There is not.

Theodore Roosevelt said: "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."   Press and hold link to visit the page Listen to the episode, try it out yourself and share your comments with us on the Show Notes   Best Resource: Download your Cheat Sheet Everything you need to get started - StarPl

I remember John Bingham once said, “The miracle isn't that I finished. The miracle is that I had the courage to start.”   I know your aim is to finish, to finish strong, to win and to be the top in your field. But ultimately, goals are there for you to pave your way for you to walk the right path in the right direction.    The true meaning is not the goal you set out to reach.     Press and hold link to visit the page Listen to the episode, try it out yourself and share your comments with us on the Show Notes   Best Resource: Download your Cheat Sheet Everything you need to get started - StarPlayer Academy Resources Page   Music: Angelic Happiness - Jingle Punks   Thanks for listening!

C. JoyBell C. once said: “They say a good love is one that sits you down, gives you a drink of water, and pats you on top of the head. But I say a good love is one that casts you into the wind, sets you ablaze, makes you burn through the skies and ignite the night like a phoenix; the kind that cuts you loose like a wildfire and you can't stop running simply because you keep on burning everything that you touch! I say that's a good love; one that burns and flies, and you run with it!”   Press and hold link to visit the page Listen to the episode, try it out yourself and share your comments with us on the Show Notes   Best Resource: Download your Cheat Sheet Everything you need to get started - StarPlayer Academy Resources Page   Music: Surfing Llama - Bird Creek   Thanks for listening!
