What does the expression ‘game within the game’ mean? How does this apply to both athletes and business professionals alike? It is about making improvements in areas or aspects of their performance outside of the ‘playing field’. It is also about improving and strengthening the mind, as mindset is everything and what often sets apart the best performers.
We are thrilled to have a sports psychologist speak to the importance of winning the mental game. Jason Galea is a sports psychologist and the Co-Founder of HeadSet, an on-line sports psychology program for athletes and coaches. He is also the executive director of San Diego Saints, a non-profit Hockey Club that provides youth and adolescents with the opportunity to learn incredible skills and life lessons built around the sport of hockey.
The design of his work with the HeadSet mental training tool, is to provide a customized plan for enhancing an athlete’s level of mental skill and ability, with the goal of achieving peak performance and confidence. Something that he learned from his mother that is often shared with his clients, which is, ‘you are stronger than you know’. This along with an acceptance of how authentically special you are, will enable you to become centered and to figure out the ‘how’, which will lead to greater success. We also talk about journaling and using mantras (thank you Navy Seals) or sayings to keep you grounded and focused on your goals.
He points out that leaders must have a strong vision that they believe in and that this is something that you have to internally believe is attainable, or it's just a dream. As Jason states, ‘hope without a plan is called a dream… and it aint happening'. One of the most powerful statements he made was, 'what the mind sees, the body believes'. Let’s see it and win the mental game.
