Over the last month, I added another tool to my belt. #StriveHigher 💪🏽 My coaching framework is all about positivity and growth, but I do know that it can be hard to stay positive in all circumstances that come up in our lives. Our minds process and sends us information that sometimes puts us in a state of anger, fear, anxiety, or doubt. And when these show up, it can hold us back from sustaining new positive habits. I will be the first to tell you that a positive outlook on your life takes practice, even for those who seemingly always show up as positive. 💯 So I decided to expand my knowledge on how to activate positivity for myself and all the clients I work with by going through a coaching grant program with Positive Intelligence It was a great experience and now I am equipped not only to help clients design fulfilling lives, but also to identify the things in your head that are sabotaging you from making real progress and then combat it by activating the part of your brain that serves you. Through practice, you can learn how to turn down the saboteurs in your mind and turn up the SAGE to truly sustain a lifestyle of growth and evolution! 🌱 Book a discovery call with me to discover how this can serve you in your journey outside of sports. https://lnkd.in/gi5hPPYd #PositiveIntelligence #Saboteurs #Sage #DesignYourLife #GrowthMindset #MorethananAthlete #LinkedInSports #AthleteTransition #OnwardandUpward #LifeCoaching

Master Your Mind, Master Your Life 🥊 Training in the gym isn’t just about building physical strength—it’s about mental resilience. As Manuel Wörner demonstrates in this video, the fight always begins in your mind. The thoughts you hold will shape your actions, and your actions will shape your outcomes. If you keep thinking the same way, you’ll keep getting the same results. But if you want to break through and achieve something new, it all starts with a change in mindset. Watch this training session in 861Kampfkunst and remember: the power to transform your life is already within you. All you have to do is change your mind. #MindsetMatters #MentalToughness #BoxingTraining #PersonalGrowth #Resilience #Leadership #ChangeYourMind

Don’t Let Other People’s Opinions Stop You At the gym today, I noticed a 12-year-old boy struggling with his deadlift technique. I hesitated. What if he thought I was intimidating? What if others judged me for stepping in? What if I look like a creep? But then I reminded myself—f&$k other people’s opinions. I walked over and said, “Mate, can I show you something that might help?” His face lit up. I showed him a few adjustments, and by the end, he was nailing it, feeling proud of himself. That moment mattered to him, and it mattered to me. Here’s the thing—if I’d let fear of judgement hold me back, that kid wouldn’t have had that win. And how many of us do this every day? Hold back, stay quiet, or avoid doing something meaningful because we’re worried about what others might think? Other people’s opinions are none of your business. Live by your values, not their judgements. Because at the end of the day, doing the right thing for yourself or someone else will always matter more than anyone else’s small-minded nonsense. You only get one shot at life. Don’t waste it playing small. #leadership #resilience #mentorship #mindset #strength #lifelessons #gymmotivation #growthmindset #personaldevelopment #confidence #inspiration #positivemindset #ownyourlife #fearless #australianfitness #selfimprovement #impact #coaching #values #integrity #highperformance

Finding Your Inner Mentor 💫 We all need guidance and support, especially when it comes to making positive choices for our well-being. That inner voice that encourages us to prioritize #selfcare, recharge our batteries, and nurture our minds and bodies - who is that for you? I recently had a client tell me that I was her personal "Jiminy Cricket," if you will. I thought that was pretty cool knowing that our coaching conversations had left such a positive impact. 💚 So I have to ask - who's your Jiminy Cricket? That supportive inner mentor guiding you towards #resilience and living your best life? Whether it's a real person who inspires you or a personification of your own wisdom, we could all use that positive influence. Share in the comments - who or what is your source of motivation for prioritizing #selflove? Let's celebrate the voices that keep us grounded and thriving! 🌟 #mindfulness #wellbeing #personaldevelopment #Resilience #coaching #resilienceasalifestyle #motivation

Motivation Monday Years ago, I dove into Jim Wendler's books on strength training—starting with 5/3/1: The Simplest and Most Effective Training System for Raw Strength and moving on to Beyond 5/3/1 and 5/3/1 Forever. While Wendler's aggressive writing style is unforgettable, there's one idea that has stuck with me above all: discipline over motivation. Motivation is fleeting. It’s easy to feel inspired one day and burnt out the next. But discipline? That’s what carries you through the tough days when motivation is nowhere to be found. It’s the consistent, daily effort that leads to extraordinary results—whether in the gym, at work, or in life. As we kick off the week, remember this: while motivation might get you started, discipline is what keeps you going. What are you committing to this week with discipline, not just motivation? Let’s hear your thoughts—how do you maintain discipline in your life?

Elevate Your Performance: The Mind's Role in Achieving Athletic Excellence The dialogue within can make or break your training sessions. Acknowledge your fatigue, and it becomes more potent. Similarly, dwelling on discomfort only amplifies it. Is it then beneficial to ignore the negatives? Rather, the strategy lies in redirecting your focus from feelings of weariness to aspirations of vitality and strength. Feel the transformation as you channel your thoughts towards energizing your spirit. I invite you to harness your inner power for more energy and share your experiences with me. Remember, "Where your attention goes, energy flows." Curious to discover if we're a match for my coaching program?

👇 This isn't always easy to do. Yet, don't underestimate the power of taking a pause and becoming present. From a place of presence, you can choose a response rather than being driven by an automatic and thoughtless reaction you might regret later. How do you create a pause for yourself? Usually, feeling my body supported by the chair, or bringing attention to my breath often (but not always) works for me - what works for you? #LeadingWithPresence #Coaching #TheCuriousCoach #Presence
