BE YOU!

Be YOU!

Over the next few weeks, I will be posting the 10 most important factors to focus on throughout the recruiting process. This time right now is so SPECIAL AND important because we ACTUALLY have THE time to focus on ourselves AND BECOME THE VERY BEST VERSION WE CAN.

Knowing who you are, what you stand for, and what your strengths are to your core- will help you navigate not only the recruiting process but will also help you confidently attack each day IN LIFE.

“Success is what happens when preparation meets opportunity”- Seneca. The more educated and prepared we are, the less stressful the process can be.  You can begin to see it as a privilege, and an honor instead of a scary beast! 

STEP 1️⃣

1-Focus on YOU!  

Let’s face it:  We live in a culture where at an early age we are taught we must do well in school, go to a great college, find a great job, and get married and have kids. Subconsciously, we are receiving messages at a young age that its a one size fits all system and that can cause stress and anxiety early. 

The truth is: every single person is different. We are all unique, we are all special.  There are no other Crysti’s Foote’s in the world- so comparing, stressing, and worrying about what others are doing, or taking advice from others who are on a different path than you can create a false reality, create stress anxiety, and cause ample issues and setbacks along the way.

Time after time players and parents compare their daughter to another.  This is the worst thing you can do!  Use that energy to Focus on the strengths and weaknesses of YOU.  Figure out how to become the best student, person, and player YOU CAN BE!

You have no control if the coach thinks another player is better than your daughter!  All you can do is CONTROL THE CONTROLLABLE’S.  

Do not compare to others-it will only end in frustration.

Use this time at home to Self Reflect:

What things do you like to do?  

What type of person are you?     

What motivates you?                    

How is your confidence level?

Start to get in tune with YOU.  That is step one BE YOU!
