An athlete's performance depends on repeating the same pre-game routine every single time, whether you just won or lost. Pick a song, pick your reading, eliminate distractions like Instagram, and condition yourself to enter flow state on demand. Success is the system, not the moment.
Another thing I want to tell you guys, this is on my mind, is if you have a good game today, no one cares about it tomorrow. Do the same thing, do your same systems that you did to get to that same game. So what I'm saying is develop your systems to good game, bad game, doesn't matter. You're coming in and you're doing your routine because when you do this you're allowing your body to get in more of a flow state more often or more consistently. So be very specific about your routine. When you come in, what song are you listening to? What are you reading? What are you thinking about? Are you scrolling through Instagram? Are you doing this? No. Have a routine that you do every single time you come in the gym to get your mind ready, not only for practice but for the games. So you got to practice your, your flows for practice so you can flow right into the game.
