Navigate the Athlete’s Glass Ceiling
Athletes & Sports Teams seeking a competitive advantage
Glass Ceiling
Typically a professional athlete was previously high performing amateur athlete, required to level up, either as an individual in a standalone sport or as a team member in a team sport. They are relentless and remorseless in their pursuit of excellence, as is their rivals. Achieving excellence in their discipline is measured objectively in training and competition through times, points and/or podiums.
To do so they invest heavily in training; strength & conditioning, movement analysis, skills drills, injury prevention, recovery and dietetics, all timetabled to test progress during training, at milestone events and to peak for specific events in any given year.
However, it’s most likely they have overlooked training to improve psychological performance concurrently with physiological performance; Visualisation of victory, anchor armour, focus during fatigue, decision error debrief and many other tools that can significantly reduce, even prevent, the domino effect of off & on field decision error cascades, particularly in team sports.
The absence of purposefully-practised performance psychology strategies and tactics that generates new-ways of thinking, therefore new-ways or working ensures the much needed competitive advantage of step-changes and/or marginal-gains to best a nearest or never-before-beaten rival remain elusive.
This follows The Peter Principle, represented below: Athletes progress based on their success in training and previous events until they reach a level at which they can no longer remain competitive, as the training strategies leveraged to attain success in one season may be obsolete by next season.
“We don't rise to the level of our expectations, we fall to the level of our training.”
Archilochus - Greek Philosopher & Poet, 680-645 B.C.
Mission Ready
Ideally, a professional athlete has cultivated habits that ensure psychological and physiological development go hand in hand to best ensure they fulfil their off & on field performance goals throughout the year. Through the application of evidence based decision making in both physiological and psychological performance domains they can work diligently to make any necessary adjustments to concurrently manage their physiological and psychological states, increasing the likelihood of individually and/or collectively delivering peak performance in high stress contexts. My job is to nudge you and/or your team mates through your glass ceilings in lock-step with your skills and conditioning coaches from how it is to how it should be.
“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence is not an act, but a habit”
