Lesson Objective: Using the “chatter” (words & mental pictures) to develop extraordinary performance (execution of a task).
A thirteen-year-old athlete runs the two-mile exercise (on machine) in 12:15 to be best in class at the camp on that day. The development strategy is to teach this thirteen-year-old “self-awareness” and “self-regulation” skills (two different emotional intelligence skill sets). The tool we use is the “chatter” (words & mental pictures).
Two notable observations: #3 – Self Motivation
• Competitor (friend) walks over to glance at his time
• Trainer (D1 Athlete) walks over to ask why his TV is off
