Becoming a mentally tough athlete doesn’t happen overnight. It takes years of training to reach your mind’s full potential.

There will always be athletes that are more naturally talented than you. Therefore, you need to find ways to close the gap between you and them. Leave no stone unturned when looking for competitive edges!

Train away fear! The more you train, the more confident you'll be in games. Build up your muscle memory to the point where you can trust your instincts under any amount of pressure.

Eight benefits of playing multiple sports: 1. Improves athleticism 2. Prevents injuries 3. Improves mental toughness 4. Improves leadership 5. Makes you a better teammate 6. Improves mental health 7. Improves character 8. Helps you excel in areas outside of sports

Overcoaching can be just as bad as undercoaching. As a coach, give your players enough instructions and feedback, but never cause them to start overthinking.

How you practice is how you play. If you don’t practice hard, don’t expect to play well in games.

Yesterday, our Hawks got to Meet the Coaches during Founders' Week! Several of them are new and are preparing to start the season with fresh energy and Hawk Pride! 🦅

Passion isn’t something you find. It’s something you create. The more you invest yourself into your sport, the more passionate you'll become!

Kara Lawson said, “Don’t give me the power to affect your self-esteem and who you are as a person.” “Don’t let me control whether you’re going to have a good day.” Confidence comes from within. It's the feeling you're capable. Confidence[🧵] Duke Women’s Basketball
