BE OFFENSIVE. BE VERY OFFENSIVE.

Our subconscious mind greatly affects our thoughts and our performance.  The power of the mind is the primary mechanism to reach that peak performance.  By training the subconscious mind, we prime ourselves for peak performance.

 Be eager, not tense.

 Be self-confident, not conceited.

 Think positively, even in adversity.

 Feel secure in yourself and your team.

 Feel joyful and free.

 Think offensively, even when defending.

 Have an inner conviction of your goal.

 

Try to think “offensively” even when defending.  To think offensively - a fight reaction - is to dare to take risks, venture to keep motivation high and keep your goal in mind.’  

In many ways, this is what we mean when we talk about an aggressive player or team.  It is not that the aggressive player is more physical than other players – though that is often the case – but that she takes the initiative.  In a sense, she makes plays happen rather than waiting for someone else to make the play.  She dares to take risks.

Play Offensively.
