Staying Focused Under Pressure
Feeling anxiety during performance is normal. We all experience it. But when it prevents you from performing at your best, there are steps you can take to make sure you stay focused on what’s in your control.
Mind over Matter
As we started up, I quickly realized that I would be challenged in ways I hadn’t experienced before. This is where Mind Over Matter came into play for me, and why it’s relevant to having a Fit Mind. I thought I had a tough mindset, but soon realized on this hike that there’s always room for growth.
Positivity Can Be Exhausting
Is positivity important? Without a doubt! It is the foundation that will take you to where you want to go and who you want to be. Positivity is a choice, and there are positive take-a-ways from every situation.
A Really Good Day Out
Before my summit of Mt. Shasta, I had a ton of fear thoughts. What if I fall? What if I can’t do it? What if I’m scared? While these thoughts were a necessary part of my process, I had to shift my focus from the emotion of fear to the important mental and physical prep fear can also initiate.
The Mental Skills of Successful Athletes
Confident athletes display many attributes that contribute to their outlook, attitude, demeanor, and performance.

Is Your Mind Fit?
We often spend a majority of our time improving the physical aspects of performance, which is obviously an important factor to being able to perform at your best. But let’s think about it from the perspective of the best of the best to those who are masters of their craft. What do you think separates them from the rest of those amazing athletes out there? The answer is mental strength, mental toughness, mental fitness.
