The MindStrong Project: Systems

Prep Baseball Report Minnesota is excited to team up with- The Mindstrong Project. Our goal in this endeavor is to continue to provide the most up-to-date pertinent information and resources to the baseball community in the state of Minnesota.

Periodically, The Mindstrong Project will be providing content for the Prep Baseball Report Minnesota website; as they continue to work to build human performance through education while building an awareness of how the mind and body work together to sustain a consistent confident approach to game performance.

In today's installment; The MindStrong Project talks about- Systems.

SYSTEMS

Happy New Year Everyone,

We hope that the offseason is going well and you all are enjoying the holidays. Also, hopefully, you have had time to dive into a little more of what we do and finding ways to optimize your systems. As we head into 2019 it seems fitting to speak on exactly that- YOUR SYSTEMS. As it is commonly termed New Year’s Resolution, you will see many references towards this societal push the next few weeks. This is a great concept and definitely a time of year to celebrate, but more importantly, let's take this time not to resolve but to reflect. The definition of "Resolution" is the action of solving a problem, dispute or categorized as making a firm decision to do or not to do something. Although this creates great incentive and push, how do you know what to solve if you don't know how to reflect? How do you know how to make a decision if you don't see the problem? As we usually mention the number one ingredient to this mental performance is the enhancement of your self-awareness. Where we are creatures of habit, it is very difficult to make the decision to change but even harder to execute. It's next to impossible to make any decision if you don't understand where to take the first step. So we want to take time right now and reflect on what we've already built in 2018, from here we can make adjustments and decisions that serve us better in 2019.

The SYSTEMS of the Diamond Series serve as our second base. This is where we place all of our routines and habits. We are going to feed off the goal sheets from last month’s article and take that deeper into understanding our days. As a performer, you have to have systems in place that you can trust and more importantly sustain. Before diving into your daily routine or debrief sessions at the end of your day we must understand our triggers.
