In the performance horse world we talk about “mental toughness” in a competition setting… I think we should shift the conversation to “mental surrender.”

People brag about competitors having “ice water in their veins”…how would your mindset change if you embraced the fact you’ve got the Holy Spirit in your veins? THE spirit of almighty God living on the inside of you working through you.

The need for control is what stirs up anxiety- let it go…invite His presence in that space.

The best sports psychology advice ever written can be found in the book of Philippians:

Philippians 4:6-8
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.

2 Tim 1:7 amp
For God did not give us a spirit of timidity or cowardice or fear, but [He has given us a spirit] of power and of love and of sound judgment and personal discipline [abilities that result in a calm, well-balanced mind and self-control].

A “sound mind” is focused on what God says about your circumstances. A sound mind produces sound emotions, a sound mind produces sound decision making.

To me having a good competitive mindset comes from intentionally realizing the presence of God. The sanctuary that I can take with me whether I go.
Nerves create tension and resistance.
Tension and resistance create mistakes and bobbles.

Being at peace and focused creats fluidity and smoothness. Smooth is fast.
