I have to be honest that I can’t believe they still allow this kind of intimidation to happen before a match, but that’s just my personal opinion. That being said, I think this an awesome example of how to get INTO the Mindset Of A Champion. I mean c’mon… How can you not want to GET GOING after watching this? This is classic neuro-associative pre-framing. All champions do it – whether they do it blatantly like this (externally) or internally within their own mind.

One thing is for sure – you have to get pumped up for your games, training and competitions – I’ll address this in future blog posts. There are several anecdotes that you’ll really enjoy!

You might not know this, but I have a lot of ‘fans’ who follow my squash exploits – not because they are squash fanatics or addicts, but because they are either champions themselves or are seeking greater awareness of their own Exponential Potential. Many of them send me stuff like the video below which keeps me pumped, passionate and pushing myself…

Before you go ahead and watch the video below, I just wanted to thank you for all the support, love and encouragement you’ve shown me in the past week while I was competing at the 2009 World Masters Games. I will be blogging about several other distinctions and insights on this and my other blogs over the next few weeks – it really has been a surreal experience. One that even surpassed my own expectations by a long shot.

Every time I stepped on the court, I felt you there with me – that meant I played harder and better. I highly recommend that you compete in sports and when you do, that you involve others to be there with you -physically or in spirit. It makes a difference.

Anthony Robbins calls it leverage and I totally agree – however not in the sense of getting you to do something you otherwise wouldn’t do, but for successful people who are already at a good, great or excellent level – to stretch their sphere of influence to become the best they can become. The person they knew they always could become.

Once again thank you and here’s a video that was sent to me by Bruce Hildebrand of Balance and Control Pilates in Melbourne… Enjoy!

Today’s post was sent to me by Gavin, the Gourmet Guardian. He knows I am always looking for inspirational and motivational videos to share with you. This one’s simply that – inspirational. Watch the video BEFORE you read the description…

Every once in a while someone ‘thinks’ of doing something out of the ordinary that is worthy of consideration if only out of intrigue. DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME KIDS and DON’T PRACTICE actually doing it on the edge of the pool – try to jump to get your feet out of the water in THE MIDDLE OF THE POOL first – if you can’t do that, you’ll never get to this level AND you’ll keep your front teeth!

Today’s post is a video I just published on YouTube. It’s only 43 seconds long, but I can tell you chances are you’ll watch it more than once. It graphically and absolutely makes the point that you need to know your outcome to succeed. Kids, don’t try this at home!
