What does it look like to manifest your future? Is it just thinking and dreaming + magic and hope or it is more?

In this episode, we discuss the tactics behind manifesting your goals. While some of these tactics might sound cheesy, they are backed by science and years of subjective experience. We cover self-talk, affirmations, re-framing negative thoughts, visualization, and problem solving. Plus, we discuss how to turn "failure" into opportunity and the lessons that will lead to eventual success.

It is time to re-program your brain to believe!

We've discussed knowing your purpose. Now, it is time to paint a picture of what you want in this sport.

Your vision is the dream and the big picture which isn't bounded by time. Your goals are the timebound milestones along the way.

In this episode, we talk about the process of creating a vision board and then discuss the do's and don'ts of goal setting. Should you create process or outcome goals? Should you have an "A" goal and "B" goal? How do you find the balance of making the goal a stretch without making it unrealistic? We talk about all of this and more!

There are two big questions underpinning this episode...

• Is mental strength innate or do you build it?
• What's the distance between your true limits and the perceived limits posed by your mind?

We discuss these questions to open the episode. We truly do believe that mental fortitude is built. AND, there is plenty of room to better match your perceived limits with your actual limits.

To do that, you have to work at it, and we break down how to do so. Know your plan. Bring your mental tools to race day. Build the mentality needed to give your all. Execute, apply, learn. And finally, do it with a team to best hone your mental skills.
