As an athlete, you need to have realistic expectations for your performance in games. Don’t be a perfectionist. By accepting that it’s impossible to be perfect, you’ll do a better job staying calm and moving on from mistakes.

Don’t just be a team. Be a family. Treat your teammates like they’re your brothers or sisters and work hard for each other!

As an athlete, don’t train hard just to train hard. Everything you do, on and off the practice field, should be done for a reason, to help you improve and perform better in games.

Things you can control in games: • Effort • Attitude • Self-talk • Body language • Attention • Execution Things you can’t control in games: • Winning • Your opponent • Refs • Fans • Weather • The past/future To play your best, focus only on what you can control.
