A key aspect of the psychological aspect of performance is your perspective
You have to believe you are in control of the outcome
If you shift blame: “the umpire was squeezing me!” “The mound was trash bro!” “Our fielding is a joke”
You reduce your performance
Because now you’re a victim, unable to succeed against circumstances out of your control
Which results in self pity, and a negative attitude of helplessness
The foundation for success: positive expectations and gratefulness for the opportunity
That’s what unlocks an ownership mentality that takes responsibility for ALL outcomes, allowing the brain 🧠 to focus on solutions and execution, which drastically raises performance!
