Developing the skills to perform at your highest level of any activity can give individuals a competitive advantage in any sport, business, or life. Successful individuals and athletes know that training your brain (beliefs, behaviors, and attitudes) often is more important than raw natural talent. One bad performance can often have an impact on future performance and its impacts can be lingering. The strongest belief a person has about themselves is how they will perform. A belief whether good or bad becomes hard wired into our DNA and when this occurs the body produces chemicals that match that belief. A good or bad thought essentially affects our whole system and how our body functions.
Training the brain to perform at its highest level is based in neuroscience. Scientists know what fires together wires together. Just like the engine of your car runs better when all cylinders are firing so do our brains. Neural Pathways are the connectors of information from one neuron to another. When neurons fire together, they wire together and make that circuit even stronger. If a person has thoughts of performing poorly or messing up that information is being wired together making the probability of them messing up even greater. If a person imagines themselves performing well and feels confident then that becomes the new operating system. The more repeatedly an operating system or behavior is used the more likely that behavior will be repeated, much like muscle memory.
The brain is a muscle and can be trained just like any muscle on your body. In fact, since how an individual wants to perform is based on the neural operating system they are firing, training the brain becomes the most important muscle to strengthen.
