5. The simple motivational mindset you need to accept uncertainty

As educators, we are trained in the skills of our sport. We know how to teach our athletes to clean up a routine, improve their turn technique, or achieve a new hip-hop trick. What we don’t always understand is how to coach them to prepare for competition day. Or lately, how to coach through a pandemic. If you never talk to your dancers about mindset and spend time specifically training your athletes to deal with unpredictability, you’re allowing for the unexpected to clutter their minds and pull their focus to the wrong place. In this episode, I share my #1 mindset mantra that usually functions as a competition day mindset, but lately, it’s my whole mindset for the pandemic. It’s the mindset you need to stay motivated and accept the uncertainty: “Control the Controllables.” _____________ Did you enjoy today’s episode? Please leave a rating and review on Apple podcasts!
