As physically active individuals we all take mobility for granted when every day our mind commands our muscles and they easily comply with just the right type of movement and appropriate force production. At Twist Sport Conditioning this is called Smart Muscle®. With each repeated action, our mind to muscle communication pathways strengthen and like building muscle, each successful action that our mind commands, our physical confidence grows.
Physical confidence is the assurance that when your mind commands your body to move, your muscles comply. With physical confidence ice hockey players explosively battle on the boards knowing their opponent will never knock them off the puck or a snow boarder bravely jumps into a double black diamond run with exhilaration and speed knowing it’s fun not fear that makes their heart beat faster.
If an athlete trusts their body, and knows that it is compliant (does what it is told by the brain) they can move to a higher level of competitive drive and take more intelligent risks in sport. Confidence to try new strategies and tactics help elevate their game and definitely give them a competitive edge.
Physical confidence is not just for elite athletes. Kids, youth, young adults, adults and older adults all want a body they can trust and muscles they can depend on in an instant. Imagine slipping on ice and wondering if your core control will keep you in balance or are you smashing down hard with a fracture a great possibility. For the older adult, physical confidence means independent living, safety and mobility – all critical factors for everyday performance.
The question is – do you help your athletes build their physical confidence? Help them see that every type of physical success in every workout reinforces mind to muscle communication that fuels the ability to execute any movement desired – this empowers them! Building Smart Muscle® where the focus is not just on appearance gains, but on building a body that moves well and is responsive to the mind, gives your athletes the tools they need for success today and for all future activities. Life is a Sport – play hard!
