Mental Game Monday Making Use of the In-Betweens For those that have been following along, the guidance of: make as many decisions as you can ahead of time is foundational for this week’s Monday. On game day, the brain’s reserve of decision-juice is limited, and it is best to save that decision-juice for game time. For the travel-ballers, athletes will have their pool play schedules a few days before competition, and bracket play can set up several if/then scenarios. The mindful athlete can pre-decide hydration, nutrition, rest, and recovery plans during those breaks - and during some of those back-to-back-to-back games, plan for pre-during-and post games. (PS - if able, change socks as often as fashion and time allows, but maybe not if sharing the team van). There is more to the mental game than rest, hydration, nutrition, and clean socks - teammates that trust each other, know each others’ skills, have confidence in their teammates’ abilities to execute the athletic play. Getting to know each, and trust each other, helps a team perform. So during those in-between-times, between games, or weather delays, or waiting for the game in front of to finish - that can be thoughtful, planned-out, mental-game-enhancing, team building. The challenge will be finding the mix-and-match when some teammates need rest, others hydration, others need warming up/prep time: the mindful athlete knows what they need to be doing during the in-betweens, and works with teammates with similar goals. I had the good fortune to encounter such a group in the wild at an indoor tournament recently. Some needed rest, others some hydration, a few were keeping active, and a couple were game-planning the upcoming contest. At their request - here is part of a team working on their mindful in-betweens. I’ll leave it to them to tag the athletes in the photo.

The weekend can’t come soon enough! Come check out my team and I play this weekend!⭐️🌟⭐️ @NEGoldVance @mwestsoftball @MidwestPremierS @PrepSoftball
