10-Minute Toughness
by Jason Selk
A sports psychologist's daily mental workout: a centring breath, a performance statement, a personal highlight reel, an identity statement and another breath, in ten minutes. Used with the St. Louis Cardinals; works for anyone with a performance to deliver.
Read it if…
you want a short, structured mental routine with no mysticism.
Skip it if…
you want theory; it is almost entirely drill.
Three things you will actually use
- Mental toughness is a routine, not a trait.
- Rehearse the highlight, not the fear.
- Ten minutes daily beats an hour monthly.
Do this first
Build your highlight reel tonight and run the routine before tomorrow's hardest task.
Our verdict
A ten-minute mental routine.
