Play Your Own Game-Don’t get caught up in the comparison game. It doesn’t matter what someone else is doing because that’s their gameplan not yours. If your focus is on someone else you can’t be focused on the training you need to do for you.

Cultivate Your Circle-If you hang around negative people chances are you’ll adopt some negative behaviors. Surrounding yourself with people who are positive or even better than you because it will only make you a better athlete and force you to up your game.

Fuel The Fire-We are all driven by different things, but finding that thing sets things into motion and gets you fired up even more can be helpful come game time. Is it people doubting you, is it trash talkers, or just finishing what you started? Think about what fires you up the most and write it down.
