Speaker
Joel Klock, spoke to us about mental performance.  He went to Niagara University in Buffalo, coached middle school for two years and then went on to JV and Varsity.  He is currently the Head Varsity Baseball Coach at Hilton Head High School. 
Through his experience working with the athletes he approached the question, "how to train athletes mentally as well as physically"  What is Mental Performance? There are three goals: 1. Educate; 2. Empower; 3. Energize.
He had all stand up
And demonstrated how a game of "Rock-Paper-Scissors" spread good energy of competition throughout the room.  The most lively this club has been at a 7:30am meeting for sure!
You must determine - Where you are; Where you want to go; and What you can control.  Be in the present moment, control the controllables, create a process and stick to it.  There are six things to address to develop an elite mind set: 1. routines and habits; 2. Mental Imagery; 3. Self Talk; 4. Breathing/Mindfulness; 5. Awareness; 6. Confidence.  14-24 - Choose something that you want to make yourself better - do something for 14 minutes each day that will help you reach that goal. Coach Klock also spoke about developing leadership - building trust, building a relationship to get results.  Developing an elite culture is important when choosing to live to be elite.  Develop self awareness and control emotions.  Totally interesting and engaging presentation.  Visit teammentaledge.com to learn more.
