Mentally Tough Teens - Justin Su'a
INTRODUCTION
One of the most awkward yet most awesome moments of my mental coaching career came when a graduating senior gave me a hug and said, I don’t need you anymore.
I smiled and told him how proud of him I was. At first, you might think, What a mean thing to say to someone!
But the reality is, my job as a mindset coach is to help my students help themselves. He and I had been working together for years, and during our time together, he learned how to strengthen his confidence, increase his motivation, and bounce back from hard times.
I don’t know why you picked this book up, but I know why I wrote it: to help you develop the mindset necessary for success in whatever you do. Whether you’re an athlete, student, musician, or dancer, the tips found in these pages are aimed to help you get out of your own way.
You are living in what some call the decade of decisions.
Within the next ten years, you’re going to be making choices that will shape the rest of your life: universities to attend, majors to study, jobs to take, places to move to, the person to marry, how many kids to have, and so on. The best way to plan for the future is to create it, and the best place to start is with yourself. My aim is not to help you feel better but to help you be better. Good luck on your journey to the great things that lie ahead!
WIN THE MORNING.
What would life be like if you woke up on purpose, with purpose every day? How can you expect to achieve excellence when the first decision you make each day is hitting the snooze button? Win the morning by waking up earlier than you normally do to get a workout in, feed your mind with good books, and fuel your body with a good breakfast—all before the rest of the world is deciding whether to get up or not. Win the morning, and you’ll win in life.
SHIFT YOUR MINDSET.
You are surrounded by peers who want the fastest and easiest path to success, but you don’t want that—not anymore. Rather than running from challenges, stare them in the face. Learn about them and embrace them. The road to greatness is easy,
said no one ever. Doing hard things will teach you lessons you wouldn’t learn otherwise, and it will make you stronger than you thought possible. You can do this.
EMBRACE FEEDBACK.
The average person hates to be told what they are doing wrong or what they can do better. Learning to accept feedback isn’t easy, but once you decide to seek it out and act on it, you will dramatically improve your progress. Embracing feedback doesn’t mean to do what everyone tells you. Identify key mentors or coaches who are great at what they do and, more important, who care about your future. Then allow them to take you places you couldn’t have gone otherwise.
TAKE INITIATIVE.
If you see a need, fill it. If you walk by trash, pick it up and throw it away. Be a go-getter. Do things without being told to. Others might think you’re trying to suck up, but you know your motives. You’re doing things to become better and to help others become better.
