Transcript

Today, I will get the opportunity to train with amazing coaches and players. I went to bed later than normal last night, so I might be tired. This will be a very good opportunity to work on how well I can stay focused and recognize when I'm distracted. I am excited that this will be an opportunity to work on my ability to problem-solve.

I have an obligation to my parents, my coaches, and my future self to recognize if I am getting distracted or getting frustrated. Since I'm tired, I might be more emotional, so I will use my coaching voice to remind me that results are not important, but it is important of how well I act. I will use it to remind myself that I am in control of my actions.

My coaching voice will remind me that I only focus on the things over which I have control. I am learning to love problems and thrive on tough times because that is how I become a good problem-solver. Today, I will be excited when problems come my way.
