Module 6 - Preparing for 'Step 2: Apply'
- To set the scene for Step 2
- To help you schedule and track progress with your team / athletes
"The foundation of performing under pressure is balance. It’s not some kind of killer instinct or some great ability to handle psychological pressure. It comes from how you are balanced in life.”
Give them the why
Start by choosing 2-3 athletes per team to act as Mentally Strong champions. These athletes will go through the athlete version of the platform (about 10-15 minutes), and then help lead activities with your team.
Having athletes lead activities will make the program flow much more efficiently. You'll notice there is now a new button for you in the main menu "Coach." You can click on this table to add athletes who will be your champions and track their progress.
Set a date
Pick a date to start the program. Ideally it would be the start of the season, but different timelines work for different teams.
Themed Weeks
The first 3 weeks are designed to walk you through a variety of activities—Bio Week, Psycho Week and Social Week. You can decide what order to do the weeks.
For each week, you’ll be given a list of 4 activities to try out that week. We recommend at least two, but you can also do all 4 If you like.
Do some prep work
Activities are designed to be quick and easy to understand, but it can be helpful to take a few minutes to read the descriptions and/or watch the videos before you introduce an activity to the team.
Check the boxes!
After you complete an activity, check off that you’ve finished it.
Once you’ve finished all three weeks, we'll share some more activities and resources. Simply pick two activities to continue doing for the rest of the season.
Thanks for your time!
