IHSAA Student-Athlete Tip of the Week (2-28-22)

"Promoting Education Based Athletics in Indiana"

Coming up short is never a fun experience in sports. However, we all know that failure is inevitable because no one wins every game or event.

The Winter Olympics concluded last week and in each event there were only three medals awarded. One of our top skiers, Mikaela Shiffin, was in five events and failed to medal even though she was a 3 time Olympian medalist in the past. Her comment was “Get up because you can, because you like what you do…. Just get up. It’s not always easy, but it’s also not the end of the world to fail.”  

We all will fail from time to time, much more than we want or expect. It’s how you respond to failing that really counts. Don’t make excuses. Don’t blame others. Look yourself in the mirror and vow to do better at your next opportunity.  

Failure is not a sign of weakness. Failure gives you the opportunity to bounce back and be better the next time out!

IHSAA Student-Athlete Tip of the Week (2-21-22)

"Promoting Education Based Athletics in Indiana"

Have you ever wondered if athletes today complicate their training by trying to do too much, overthinking, and listening to too many people?

Think back when you were in elementary school.  When you were learning math skills, you did not start with multiplication and division.  It was addition first, then subtraction.  You conquered the basics and then moved on. 

As you analyze where you are and where you want to be in your skill development for your sport, take a simple approach and stick with it.  Drown out all the outside noise.

Next time you are working out, think about what you need to add to your skill set to put you in position to make your team or to make it as starter and subtract the things that are doing you no good!
