After finishing The Path to Excellence, competing in
the Zone should be your
new norm. For others to say
you're successful, you'll still
might have some work to
do. Practice both your
physical game and your
mental game as both will
help you achieve success
in the future. That is what
my second book, From Excellence to Success, will
help you with.
Champions are mostly successful because of the challenges they faced, the experiences they have
learned from, and their Comitment to Excellence.
The knowledge you gain
from all challenges should
make you a tougher
athlete to defeat. And
this knowledge will help
you to eliminate
repeating the same
mistakes.
Through visualization,
your mind will know what it
is your body wants to do. A
world class athlete uses
these skills to their
advantage. Some of the
345 factors in The Path to Excellence will help you
have more fun and keep
you focused on your goals.
Remember that the
competition in actuality
starts the night before and
of course, you'll be ready.
The rings above show
you put in the work and
have been challenged.
Visualizing outcomes
will now increase your
confidence and
significantly increase
your chances of success!
When your confidence is
above the clouds, you'll
start to realize how much
fun you're having, and
pressure is dramatically deceased.
Everybody's potential will different due to their experence. Your potential will grow with experience. Difficult challenges will determine where your weaknesses are and what areas you'll need to work on.
If you can dream it! How many times have you heard about an All-Stars dream came true because they believed it could become a reality? Living the dream life happens mostly in sports. Dreams are short term or lifelong goals you set and something that you can obtain. You should have the "Dare to Dream" mentality while you participate. AND don't let anyone tell you it can't be done.
I know you've been dreaming about the future. Now it's time to think about how that dream can come to life. When you Commit to Excellence, most goals willl be within your reach. Only after you made your short- and long-term goals, can you focus on how you'll achieve them. Your goals should always be in line with your team's goals, if competing in a team sport. It's time to set your goals.
If you can dream it and possess the potential to accomplish it, you need the confidence to believe it could happen. Realize most dreams are possible when you have a made-up mindset. It is in believing something could happen, that persistence now will be your routine. Even though persistence seems like work, you'll appreciate it when your confidence takes over and you take home the hardware.
My second book is for the athletes that read my first book, The Path to Excellence, and want to continue on the path to success. My small book can help you knockout your opponent when going after your first or multiple championships! Success will happen more often when you're consistently able to get to the zone. Admitting that you don't know everything, is really the first step towards success. Rule changes, technology and equipment is a never-ending progression in some sports and athletes need to adept changes into their own game or be left behind. Your mind-set will be tested with any change that can affect your performance. Then you can start to learn to realize what you'll need to work on with persistence and dedication being required. It is your mental game that will greatly advance your overall game. YOU MUST KEEP YOUR HEAD IN THE GAME!
If your current road has potholes, I'll tell you how most can be avoided.
Rewards come when you climb another level or two. Some of these 12 steps, you might already know about. You'll determine how these steps will factor into your game and will give you an indication of your potential. You'll need to know their importance to reach success and continue your success. Being a mentally tough athlete have advantages. At any time if you finally decide you would rather be winning than losing matches, I offer my books to help you. Losing sucks and will happen, so get over it and start a new win streak. Learning not just from wins and losses, but learning why it happened and seeing more positive results are why Champions rise to the top of the leaderboard and win another Championship.
Im' offering a change in course for your future.
I'm here to tell you that I've improved with age because of the experiences from competing against better athletes when I was younger. To be the best, you have to beat the best. I've never turned pro because the money wasn't there to get me too excited, and I'd have to put in a lot of time and practice. I had the time but the money for equipment and practice was just more than I could afford. But I have learned several things since competing in four professional regional tournaments.
No one said getting older will limit the success you might have. Prove them wrong!
For my second book, I felt that two athletes who have influenced me in ways that no other have done would be appropriate. Both have displayed why the mental game is so important to compete. Ken Hosp and Andrew Cain have experiences that some only dream about. Is it by accident that they can both play the left side of the lane? It’s about they both love our great sport, and their expectations after what they have already accomplished are still at a high level.
I’ve bowled with Ken one season in the Traveling Masters and against him many times over. He has many records and titles doing it from both sides of the lane. He is Tucson’s Jack Nicklaus on the lanes, having a love to compete attitude. Perfection was achieved when our “Mr. 900”, shot a 900 during color pins at the old Cactus Bowl. Ken’s dedication to excellence is second to only a few.
After seeing around four bowling coaches, Andrew saw me throw just three shots and knew how to fix my consistency. He helped raise my level of confidence like no other coach has done. It was like buying confidence in a bottle. I went to him because he still competes on tour and to compete and cash on today’s tour would be beneficial for my game. The traveling of 120 miles was the right choice.
The common factor with these two is the confidence they have in their ability.
I'll be happy to answer questions you may have after reading my HOW TO book, The Path to Excellence. You've should have been in the zone after reading my first book. My second book tells you the route to continue your journey, so you can be successful in your sport. Getting close to the top is only one thing. The other thing is staying near the top during your career. Staying near the top is the best way to take that last step to the top of the mountain. When you understand principles of peak performance, you can embrace every situation because of your experience and knowledge. Knowledge is king and performing with almost no pressure is something you should learn from this book.
See you in the Zone! -Mr. Stats
