On a day built around gratitude, I want to pause and say this clearly: I’m thankful for you.
Every athlete, coach, student, parent and leader who follows these tips - THANK YOU! You challenge me in the best ways.
Your commitment to growing your mental game continually pushes me to grow mine.
Every week I’m challenged to get better… because to help you get better, I have to grow, stretch and get uncomfortable, too. It’s not a challenge anyone says out loud. It’s that unseen, unspoken push that lives underneath the work we do together.
You inspire me to stay curious, keep learning, and continue sharpening the tools I share with you. And just like training our bodies, we never “arrive” at full fitness… we keep chasing it, rep after rep together!
That same pursuit lives here.
And through it, together, we serve, encourage, and elevate the people around us as we grow into the best versions of ourselves.
And that means more than you know! Thank you for giving me one more thing to be grateful for.
Because here’s the crazy thing. The fact that I’m grateful for you and you now know it…THIS ALONE makes us better!
Gratitude isn’t just a nice feeling. It’s a performance enhancer.
Studies show that practicing gratitude activates the parts of the brain responsible for focus, confidence, and emotional control, while calming the regions tied to stress and threat.
Translation?
Gratitude helps us think clearer, respond better and perform closer to our potential.
SO THANK YOU for helping me…I hope this work (and the fact that I appreciate you) helps you a little, too!
Happy Thanksgiving!
Julie
