ACT AS IF...

Any decent athlete can put on a good game face.  But to be truly successful, it has to start in the mind… you have to mentally “act as if.”   

That means you have to go much deeper than mere swagger or theatrics.  It’s a method of thinking - a learned skill for convincing your mind that you already are what you want to become.  The body follows where the mind leads.

Act as if you’re a great shooter.  Act as if you love the drill.  Act as if when you hit the deck it doesn’t hurt.  Negativity, even in the form of body language (drooping), cannot be tolerated.

The only thing able to prevent you from becoming what you want to become… is you.
