Today, I will get an opportunity to train with amazing coaches and players. I will only have one extra long session today with no lunch break so that we can finish before the solar eclipse. Even if I am a little out of rhythm today, I have rested and given myself a break so that my body can perform at full capacity. I want to focus on feeling gratitude for the opportunity and enjoy giving my full effort. Since I will be going for 4 and a half hours straight, it can be very difficult if I get frustrated and let that continue throughout the day.
I have an obligation to my parents, my coaches, and my future self to practice gratitude when I get upset today. I will take slow, deep breaths and relax my body. I will recognize when I am starting to get frustrated and I will activate my positive reactions.
My coaching voice will remind me that I am performing against myself. I will learn to love the battle and not just winning. Problems are just opportunities to problem-solve. These difficulties will help me become tougher and have plans for the future when problems come up in tournaments.
