The 1% Mindset, Coming To You Live

MicrophoneAudience

Let’s get the 1% Message in front of your team! Separating from average is a mentality, not a hope or wish – it’s a guarantee that nothing or no one will stop you from achieving record-breaking success.

The 1% Mindset is a DECISION, promising to never again, get out worked … never again, allow others to determine what’s possible for you … never again, let fear and doubt dictate choices … never again, waste a second of opportunity … never again, make “realistic” a part of your vocabulary … never again, settle for mediocrity!

My message to your team isn’t cliche, it’s driven by mistakes I was forced to learn from as an adult, wishing I had that opportunity while I was competing. “Just do your best” won’t be mentioned … “Be BETTER than your best” will, however!

Your level of success is determined by how closely you align your actions with your desires – it’s an intentional act, never a coincidence. Together, we’ll create a culture in your program, where excellence isn’t hoped for, it’s expected … it’s not talked about, it’s LIVED!

Want Vs. Work

I LOVE this article!! I found it on Twitter, through coach Heather Stewart (@4evrhoopin). It speaks the truth, with no worry of who’s feelings may get “hurt.” Today’s generation has the most, wants the most, feels entitled to achieving the most … but puts in the least amount of effort than any generation in history. Because of instant access to everything today, the majority of young people believe that success should also be attained instantaneously. THIS is the huge disconnect, mentally. You can Google or YouTube how to create almost anything, but you can’t fast forward the amount of time it’ll take, or the effort and the perseverance needed.

Embrace The Unknown

From the book I’m currently reading, “Fail Up,” by Tavis Smiley.

One of my biggest challenges, growing up, was doing something before I could clearly see a mental picture, or knew I would succeed. What I’ve learned (and am still learning), is the unknown is often they key that opens the door to our next successful venture.

He's Separating From Average

Luc sent me this at 5:50 am! He’s committed to never again be out worked. 99% of 16 year olds, especially in the summer, are sleeping in, but he knows: They sleep, he wins!

Your Pain Is Temporary …

 

 

This is a text a student sent me, frustrated with the beginning of his professional athletic career. He’s realizing the struggle and pain needed to endure isn’t a dream – it’s real, and is what separates the ones who make it from the ones who talk about what if …

Whatever your situation, know that your struggle is temporary, but it will test your commitment and dedication to the process!

Your Bad Isn't THAT Bad

FeetBottle

The next time you think about quitting because “it’s too hard,” remember this picture!

Struggle defines character – do you have what it takes to battle beyond pain, or will you stop short of your dreams? No more excuses. Stop whining about why it’s too difficult. Create a detailed future visual and commit every ounce of your hunger to not stopping until it manifests!

Shed tears if you have to, scream in frustration if you have to, but NEVER STOP!

Representing Team USA

StoryCummingsBEAST

Meet Story Cummings – center for Team USA!

This kid is a beast, and is totally immersed in the 1% Lifestyle. No one will out work him – there’s no doubt we’ll be reading about him in the future, playing in a huge collegiate program.

Tweet him @StroyCummings. Here’s an example of his mentality: “When everything on your body hurts, but all you can think about is grinding harder, you’re in the right place.”

BOOM!

Pay Full Price …

Coupons

Too many people are looking for a break, a discount, or shortcut.

There aren’t any coupons on your way to the top – you must pay full price. Sacrifice the max, punch fear in the face as hard as you can, and stare your future in the eyes. What WILL you achieve?

NO EXCUSES!

US Open – Tiger's Legacy Continues

US Open Golf

The US Open symbolizes mental and emotional strength – the ability to grind through 4 days of defining moments. For some, it’ll be their first opportunity at history, for others, a chance to add to their Major wins … but for another, this means MOMENTUM. For him, the US Open signifies legacy, defined as “best of all-time.”

When Tiger Woods talks calmly about winning his first Major is five years, don’t believe the hype – he’s not calm inside, he’s on fire! He eats, sleeps, dreams, and bleeds Jack’s record. This is what legends do – they immerse themselves in every ounce of the task. This record he so “calmly” talks about is part of his DNA. His dad embedded history into him from birth. While most are trying to “do their best,” Tiger’s guaranteeing to go beyond his best – past anyone’s belief of possible!

Will You Do More Than The Minimum?

What you do when no one’s looking will determine your long term success. Are you doing the minimum or more than is expected?
