The response to stress is what separates athletes. Stress is inevitable. No matter the level of athlete, the skill they have, the years they’ve played, they will still experience stress…each and every day!
Some respond to stress in a panic, feeling that they don’t have necessary resources to handle the situation perceived as a threat.
Others recognize stress as a challenge…a challenge in which they will overcome. They realize they will be facing a battle to win and are more than willing to put in work that is above and beyond the ordinary.
We can’t run from the stress experienced each day….but we can choose to be open what we can learn from these experiences.
Who are you as an athlete??? Are you fearful of the stress or excited for the challenge that was presented to you???
