The picture above shows an army motorcycle with a side car for a gunman. 

 

Now, this motorcycle can ride into battle without a gunman riding shotgun, but most would agree that would be a stupid thing to do. 

 

As athletes, your in-game performance has two sides: the physical and the mental. 

 

You don't have a choice whether you bring your physical tools, ability and talent into competition. 

 

You do have a choice to bring along your mental toughness, freedom and conviction to every competition. 

 

When you combine your physical ability with your mental toughness riding shotgun, you unlock the most complete competitor inside of you. 

 

Too often athletes just go through the motions and ride the roller coaster throughout competition. 

 

Do you want to be different and consistently tap into the best version of you? Make sure your mental toughness is riding shotgun with you into every battle.
