The Athletic Mind-Body Connection

Mental State Impacting Performance

A strong and positive mental state isn’t just beneficial - it’s crucial for peak athletic performance during training and competition. When the pressure is on to compete at the highest level, having a content mental state can help relieve that pressure and remind us of what we’re capable of.

Present Moment Awareness

Grounding techniques help us engage back into the present moment - allowing us to function without hesitation or concern. Racing and competing requires 100% mental focus, and grounding techniques help us train the “present moment muscle”.

Natural Realignment

The stresses and distractions of our lives often put us into mental states that are cluttered with anxieties and regrets. Flushing these negative thought processes out returns us to a natural and calming state, allowing us to achieve our physical best.

What is Grounding?

Grounding is the powerful practice of immersing yourself with the environment around you - it is about being engaged in the present, being aware of how your mind and body connect with your surroundings, and helps us enter a calm and peaceful state of contentment and tranquility. Rather than dwell on past mistakes or future anxieties, grounding draws us into the present moment, helping us realize where our “feet are”.

This state of mind allows us to compete in high pressure situations at the highest level, as well as engage us more during daily training and life habits.
