There’s four key elements that contribute to sporting performance:

Skill – The technical ability to perform specific actions or movements in your sport. This is the “what” of execution—your passes, shots, serves, etc.

Tactics – How you use your skills in the moment, often in relation to others (teammates and opponents). This includes decision-making during gameplay.

Strategy – The broader game plan or approach, typically decided before a match or competition. It includes formations, patterns of play, or race/game plans.

Psychology (sometimes referred to as Mental Toughness or Mindset) – This is the fourth and often overlooked pillar. It includes confidence, focus, motivation, emotional control, resilience, and the ability to deal with pressure.

Psychology is the performance multiplier. You can have great skill, sound tactics, and a solid strategy—but if your mindset isn’t right, your performance will suffer.

The mental game is often the difference between good and great athletes.

Train your mind as well as your body for peak sporting performance and to gain the edge over others.
