SEASON 5 10 Talks Cover Photos (15).png

​WINNING STRATEGIES

  1. Finding Joy on the Journey by statting up all the new you are trying. If something is not in the 8, 9, or 10 range, honor that and try something else to see what your stat is. The Stats Tool is a great way to measure how much you enjoy an activity and recognize whether or not you want to continue doing it.

  2. How 2 Change and share it with the people in your life. Live It to Give It – share your commitments with those around you so they can be on the journey with you. 

  3. Criticism 2 COMPASS10N. Choose to be a CHAMP10N and step into being the new change that you want to be, rather than going against yourself.

SEASON 5 10 Talks Cover Photos (14).png

​WINNING STRATEGIES

  1. Seasons Tool. We do not play our sport 12 months year round – breaking our time up into “Seasons” gives us the ability to celebrate the short term wins and figure what works and what doesn’t. It also helps us to make commitments throughout our seasons and reach our goals.

  2. Anchor in purpose. Find your why. What commitments to you have and why do you stick to them? Find what you can control and be for yourself and others.

  3. Challenge your brain to go into forward focus. What do you know and where do you want to go with that? It’s not about a feeling – it’s about the process of getting to the commitment that you honored. Push through your fear rather than completely avoiding it.

khalia.png

​WINNING STRATEGIES

  1. Anchor in truth to enter into love. When you honor your truth that you are feeling, you will be able to accept it and then find a way to change your feelings to a place of love.

  2. Faith is unseen. This is something that is not tangible, which can be hard for competitively great athletes who are used to measurable statistics and winning. Inside competitive greatness, there is an unseen component – the faith component – which is important to have to be able to create positive self talk and move into the love component.

  3. Write down the things that you are grateful for. Gratitude is a great winning strategy to reenergize yourself and recognize what’s in front of you. Once you have things written down, you can take a look at them whenever you want.

SEASON 5 10 Talks Cover Photos (13).png

​WINNING STRATEGIES

  1. VIS10N. Change is hard – it is important to remember that we cannot change everything we want all at once. Find a starting point where you can have concrete action and anchor in new thinking to create forward momentum.

  2. Honor diversity. Be open and curious to bridge the gap between wanting to go for change and the nervousness of trusting something unfamiliar. Have your questions ready and know what you are looking for when building a CHAMP10N culture. 

  3. COMMUNICAT10N. Understand what your athletes and team members need to feel supported and have those conversations early and often.

jane.png

​WINNING STRATEGIES

  1. Be competitively great for you. Go for the life that you want and for what matters to you. Sometimes your best may only be a small part of you on a certain day – that does not mean you have to quit. It is through the struggle that we learn more about ourselves.

  2. The Power of Choosing vs Have To 2. If your current thinking is “Have To”, you will use a lot of your energy and emotions to work against yourself and your thoughts rather than choosing to do something. 

  3. Be intentionally for yourself. It may take a bit of work, but think of your end result and how you want to get there to create these CHAMP10N results according to your own definitions. 

nicole.png

​WINNING STRATEGIES

  1. Lead by example. No one is immune from burnout – everyone needs to take a break and unplug at some point, especially if you are a leader. Trust your team and show them the power of Rest and Recovery for RESTORAT10N.

  2. Rest and Recovery. If you want to be a high performer, you must honor your Rest and Recovery and recognize the power of our tool. Preparation is another key aspect to Rest and Recovery so you can set yourself and your team up for success and be ready to re-enter once you return.

  3. Living 3D. Remember that Rest and Recovery means you are entering your Personal Space. It does not always have to mean laying down – it can be fully engaging with your family or your relationships to get that energy back and taking a break from your Professional Space.

khalia.png

​WINNING STRATEGIES

  1. Think of emotions as something similar to hunger pains. If you feed and take care of yourself when you are hungry, the pain will eventually go away. How can you feed your soul in a way that makes you feel satisfied and able to move forward? 

  2. “You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free.” Remember to live your life according to your own definitions – that is what we have control over, rather than others’ definitions of us. Honor your truths and remember that you only have control over that.

  3. Understand who you are and make peace with it. Athletes tend to bring their competitive greatness and intensity wherever they go, but do not realize how hard they are being on themselves when they are not performing in a game. Recognize your emotions and be authentic with yourself.

joi.png

​WINNING STRATEGIES

  1. Live It to Give It. As coaches, it is important to be a great model for your athletes to give a solid example of what values you want to instill for your team.

  2. Time Management. We all have 24 golden nuggets in our days – taking time to do what you need to Rest and Recover and build in that wellbeing component is a huge winning strategy to B4U. Being selfish to take time for you should not make you feel guilty.

  3. Energy and EMOT10NAL Management. Confront what you are facing and anchor in truth to express how you are feeling to the other person. Try not to waste your energy on negative emotions or people who take a lot of your energy away from you. 

jane.png

​WINNING STRATEGIES

  1. CELEBRAT10NS. Give yourself permission to celebrate every day! This is an important part of the journey that will help you to push forward and give you the credit you deserve. 

  2. Go from Good to Great. Be for you in a way that is kind and forgiving, rather than judgmental or losing joy if you do not meet expectations.

  3. Have a support team. Be able to share your goals with other people around you so they can help push you and hold you accountable. 

nicole.png

​WINNING STRATEGIES

  1. If you do not have time to do it right, you will not have time to do it over. Honor your needs and everyone affected by your responses. Make sure everything you do on your team is a 10 so everyone can properly manage their time and energy as one.

  2. You can still win without stepping into the negative side of “the grind”. Remember to ask yourself if this is a 10 for you. The power of relationships and connection has the foundation of giving love and giving hope, leading to being for you and what works for you.

  3. How 2 Rest and Recover: Find what matters to you and insert that joy into your life. Being intentional with your Rest and Recovery is a huge winning strategy to be able to recharge and be fully engaged. 

khalia.png

​WINNING STRATEGIES

  1. Change your mindset with your expectations. We are not always going to show up great, but the expectation that we show up great is always there, and can suck the joy out of the moment. With your own expectations, check in with yourself to see realistically what those are – if you do not meet that, honor that truth and try to win the moment the next time it comes around.

  2. Honor who you are. If your expectations are getting in the way, remind yourself who you are vs. who you wish you were. Connect 2 your heart and anchor in competitive greatness to stay present.

  3. The Power of Choice vs Have 2. When we shift our perspective and redefine our choices, we open ourselves up to seeing what we get to choose to do rather than what we have to do.

SEASON 5 10 Talks Cover Photos (6).png

​WINNING STRATEGIES

  1. Be honest with yourself and what you are feeling. Take time to evaluate your 3D life – Personally, Professionally, and Philanthropically – are you being for you and honoring the truth?

  2. Start with “me”. How you treat yourself is important. If you cannot treat yourself kindly, you cannot give that kindness to others around you.

  3. Change is hard. What is your definition of success? Anchoring in definitions will help you to give yourself clarity and kindness during times of difficult transition and have more control over your career choices or your identity.

SEASON 5 10 Talks Cover Photos (9).png

​WINNING STRATEGIES

  1. Join us on the 30 Day Season CHAMP10N Challenge as we strive for our Desired Outcome: What do you want to be a CHAMP10N for 2 Win Your Wellbeing?

  2. Set yourself up 4 success and make your commitment. It is important to B4U: Anchor in your why. Focus on Winning Your Day. Celebrate Winning Your Day. Reflect on what you want to do different tomorrow to B4U.

  3. Have a support team: Share your CHAMP10N Challenge with friends and family so they can support you to Win Your Wellbeing.

little e.png

​WINNING STRATEGIES

  1. Never give up, no matter what anyone says. Surround yourself by those who encourage you and give you good advice.

  2. Be a good teammate. Have fun with those around you and think about succeeding in reaching your future goals to minimize stress and focus on forward momentum.

  3. Find joy to insert into your life. For Little E, school has been a strength of hers that she has discovered after having the courage to go for a higher level of math in school.

joi.png

​WINNING STRATEGIES

  1. Emphasis on Top to Bottom Wellbeing: Get to know people and their story, no matter who that team member is within your organization. The power of listening is essential for organizational wellbeing. Put your vision out there and what wellbeing means so everyone can be on the same page.

  2. Caring about employees from a personal standpoint. Without connecting authentically, there is a lack of trust and over-focus on caring about employees from a work standpoint. Reach out to people and let them know that you care and prove that with your actions.

  3. Honor your commitments. Anything that is difficult is worth going for. Our brand is a Live It to Give It Model and wellbeing is so important to us.

jane.png

​WINNING STRATEGIES

  1. Change Formula: Relate- New Hope; Reframe- New Thinking; Repeat- New Skills; Practice! Practice! Practice!

  2. Be in alignment with your goals. Find someone who has been successful with the goal you are aiming to achieve in order to have the relate component. Then surround yourself with a support team to have accountability and people around you who will help you reach your gaol.

  3. Be a cheerleader for yourself. Have fun with your commitment; think of it as a challenge where you are being intentional and competitively great for you.

khalia.png

​WINNING STRATEGIES

  1. RELAT10NSHIPS. Anchor in love and connect to one another, even if virtually. Some may not always be on the journey with you, but the power of love knows no distance.

  2. Discover what matters to you. Am I being for myself and the other person? Is this relationship worth investing my time, energy, and emotions into? Remember your definitions of relationships. 

  3. B4U. Check in with yourself before you check in with the other person. At times, internal reflecting is a great winning strategy to make sure you know where you are at and what you want before you go for it.

SEASON 5 10 Talks Cover Photos (6).png

​WINNING STRATEGIES

  1. Healthy organizations, healthy people. Honor the health and wellbeing of each individual person. This way, everyone can come to work and contribute at optimal performance while feeling like a 10 compared to a lower stat.

  2. Start by leading yourself. Then lead by listening to others and their needs to reach a level of collective leadership for transformational change.

  3. Human 2 Human CONNECT10N. Acknowledge the importance of the hierarchy of leadership. All roles are essential to winning wellbeing no matter the level.

nicole.png

​WINNING STRATEGIES

  1. Don’t give up. Keep going. Things happen for a purpose and a reason in your life, and you may not see it in the moment but it is ultimately helping you grow and become a stronger person.

  2. Performance 2 PREPARAT10N: Use the stats tool (rating on a scale of 1-10) and take your time to make sure your ideas or projects are a 10 before moving forward. Ask for what you need and be receptive when it comes to feedback.

  3. Be for each other and anchor in the Power of Team. Sometimes what is a 10 for you is not a 10 for those around you, so it is important to be considerate and ask what others need in addition to yourself. Be INTENT10NAL and open so everyone’s stat can become a 10.

jane.png

​WINNING STRATEGIES

  1. Go out on the balcony. This is huge for emotional management – it will help you to step outside of your emotions and see the situation from a new perspective with clarity. What do you want to do with this new perspective moving forward? What are your values and what’s important to you?

  2. Anxiety 2 ACT10N: Have a support team when it comes to purchases that may be daunting. With the power of team on your side, you will be able to really be for you and have confidence to make healthy choices.

  3. Pressure 2 PASS10N: Be a lifelong learner. Do one thing every single day that will help you to grow and evolve and be a better person for yourself and those around you. Getting coached is a great way to receive advice and examine how you want to live your 10 life.

khalia.png

​WINNING STRATEGIES

  1. Symbolism. Take a tangible item that  represents something you want to get rid of or change and physically throw it away. This strategy will help to empower you to transfer that symbolism over into reality.

  2. Take the time to find the 10 Moments. Focus on maximizing your 24 golden nuggets and what you can do with them, rather than wasting energy on what you do not have.

  3. GIVEHOPE: Tell people you are proud of them and that they are doing a great job – sometimes, there is not enough of that in today’s world. Connect and be curious about others and their story. We are all on our own beautiful journeys and every single one of our lives matter.

SEASON 5 10 Talks Cover Photos (10).png

​WINNING STRATEGIES

  1. INTENT10NAL RELAT10NSHIPS: Define what relationships mean to you. Communicate your thoughts and be looking for the good in people. If someone is doing something good, tell them – give back to the other person.

  2. Fear 2 Fabulous: Think about what you are grateful for. Shifting your mindset towards being thankful will help lead you away from thoughts of fear or failure.

  3. Criticism 2 COMPASS10N: Let people know you are here for them and will support them. Connecting to a bigger purpose will help you to push out of the criticism factor and anchor in love to find what matters.

khalia.png

​WINNING STRATEGIES

  1. Insert Joy. As a form of Rest and Recovery, think of what is a 10 for you and implement that activity into your day to bring you joy and energy.

  2. Live life in 3D: Personally, Professionally, and Philanthropically. In the Personal and Philanthropic dominions, you have total control over what happens. When we feel like we don’t have choice over what we do in our lives, we begin to lose hope. Dividing your life into these three components will help bring more control in your life and make you feel empowered.

  3. Honor the truth. Keeping the truth in your brain and being afraid of it is a performance barrier. Bring the truth out into reality, own it, and see how you can improve and be competitively great for you and your team.

nicole.png

​WINNING STRATEGIES

  1. How to be Competitively Great for You vs Against Others. Normally when we hear the word ‘competitive’, we think there must be a winner and loser. Rather, our definition incorporates prioritizing what is important to you, figure out what really matters to you, and hold yourself accountable to the greatness you want to achieve at your very best.

  2. Truth: Figure out what your truth is; Respect it; Own it; Learn from it; and become a better you because of it so you can help others. Faith: Trust in yourself; Trust in the process; Trust in the people you choose to share life with. Love: RELAT10NSHIPS, RELAT10NSHIPS, RELAT10NSHIPS- Be 4 each other and grow your team.

  3. Stats. If something is a 10, it does not necessarily mean it is perfect – more importantly, it means that it matters to you. If your definition of perfection means there are no performance barriers or struggles along the way, the odds of failure are higher compared to when you are willing to push through the tough times.

jane.png

​WINNING STRATEGIES

  1. Intensity vs INTENT10NALITY.  Recognize the difference between the grind and being intentional with your time, energy, and emotions to go for what you want. Another way of looking at it is the monkey mind vs. really peeling it back to being intentional with what you want.

  2. Embrace the uncomfortableness when going for change. Just like training for other things you have done, it requires consistency, ritual and routine, stretching beyond what feels good, extra time and effort and energy  Live through the pain points and anchor in the winning strategies to push through it.

  3. Recognize the feeling of burnout compared to the feeling of desire and passion. Change your mentality to “I get do this” rather than “I should do this”.

joi.png

​WINNING STRATEGIES

  1. Radical Equality: Celebrate differences and come together to be competitively great for each other. Have the Courage 2 Care for everyone around you, no matter their differences.

  2. Do something different every day. Having Rituals and Routines is a great winning strategy, but making small commitments to step outside of your comfort zone such as sitting with a new teammate or getting to know a person outside of your circle will start to create new connections and conversations.

  3. Every moment matters. Are you practicing at a level 10? Are you saying yes to things that scare you? Don’t take the little moments for granted.

khalia.png

​WINNING STRATEGIES

  1. Triangle breathing. When we find ourselves having a lot of anxiety and not being able to calm down, this technique is perfect for lowering your arousal.

  2. Breathe in what you want and breathe out what you don’t want. Focus on what you want and let go of all of the noise.

  3. Know when to breath during your performance. Inhaling a few moments before doing a movement that requires a lot of power will help to fill your lungs to capacity, followed by the exhale during your action or movement to maximize your power.

joi.png

​WINNING STRATEGIES

  1. Invest in women. Coaching is so much more than leading a team – we have the opportunity to empower women not only in athletics but all those around us. Happiness does not depend on anyone else; you are capable of going for anything.

  2. Bring your team together. Consider all of the moving parts of your organization rather than just your players – the coaching staff, department, support team – to ignite that power of team and help them realize their strengths.

  3. Elevate and inspire. Having your 3D life in alignment personally, professionally, and philanthropically is huge wining strategy so we do not get caught up in solely our professional lives. Giving hope doesn’t have to be of great magnitude; it is a gift we can give at any time to anyone.

jane.png

​WINNING STRATEGIES

  1. Whole Wellbeing: Wellbeing is not just physical and nutrition – there are many different components to wellbeing, such as emotional, financial, and spiritual standpoints.

  2. Me, We, & World Model: Take good care of me so I can take care of the we. Be there for your team and ask how you can serve and support them. Then translate that to the world – how can you make a difference in your surrounding community?

  3. It is never too late to go for what you want. We get to keep growing and evolving no matter where we are at in our lives. We are always changing and discovering – you never know what tomorrow is going to bring you.

SEASON 5 10 Talks Cover Photos (8).png

​WINNING STRATEGIES

  1. Embracing Change: How do you honor what works for you personally and create winning strategies to embrace change and also win professionally? Honor Training – focus on the Desired Outcome vs the pain of the change.

  2. How 2 Train to Win the Week – Week 2 Week Mindset: Respect the constant change that is happening. How? Be willing to try it; ability to change it; constant evaluation – what is working? I will keep it; what is not working? How can I make it work?

  3. Life-Style Living: Focus on Work Life Alignment. What lifestyle choices are you making? Are you going for what you want?

khalia.png

WINNING STRATEGIES​

  1. Get out of “me” and into “we”. If our mentalities are in the “me” mindset, our egos take over and it can become very noisy in our heads. Being for your teammates will lead you to a CHAMP10N mindset.

  2. Anchor in Competitive Greatness: Truth, Faith, and Love. Find your definitions, remember your why, and accept the love that you receive.

  3. Change “I will try” to “I am committed to”. This one change will help you to have forward focus and shift your mindset to go for it.

SEASON 5 10 Talks Cover Photos (9).png

WINNING STRATEGIES​

  1. Find your support team. Having a team of people that know their role within your own life is important to build your 10 life.

  2. Put in the reps, especially for your mental game. Practice practice practice what you want to be working on to reach your desired outcomes.

  3. CELEBRAT10NS: What is today going to bring you? Celebrate showing up, celebrate the not so fabulous moments, and be for you. We are all human.

joi.png

​WINNING STRATEGIES

  1. Be where your feet are. Staying present in the moment and being able to live it to give it will help your athletes follow your lead.

  2. Share your love that you have with your players. Cultivate a culture on the foundation that your love for them is not contingent on wins and losses, but it is something much deeper than that.

  3. Define success as an organization. Show your support and give hope to help everyone within your team find that love and be competitively great for each other.

khalia.png

WINNING STRATEGIES​

  1. Doubt 2 DETERMINAT10N: Honor the emotions that show up, take the time to process why you are having them, and decide what you want to do with them.

  2. Get to know the process of grieving. When we go through a loss of anything that matters to us, we experience grief – an emotional journey through denial, anger, depression, bargaining, acceptance, in no specific order.

  3. Be Competitively Great for Me and What Matters 2 Me: The first step in understanding the conversations we are having with ourselves in our head, is asking yourself, “is it true?” If it is true, what do you want to do about it? If it is not true, let it go.

jane.png

​WINNING STRATEGIES

  1. Rituals and Routines: This tool will help you to stay organized and manage your time, energy, and emotions. 

  2. Me and We: What does my team need? We must be for each other. You know how to be a great “me” – now, it is important to merge that with the Power of We from an “And” standpoint compared to “But”. 

  3. The Power of Team: 1+1=3. How do your actions impact other people? Show up anchored in a place of grace and compassion to ignite the power of team and work together towards your common goal.

joi.png

WINNING STRATEGIES​

  1. INTENT10NAL Openness: Be willing to listen so you can learn the other person’s story and get to know them better to create a relationship.

  2. Think about and tap into the power of your own story. What matters to you and what are your desired outcomes? Be on a Me and We MISS10N for Competitive Greatness.

  3. Every person on each team has a role to fulfill, no matter the talent. Change your mentality from “Me” to “We”.  Show genuine care for others and that you want to get to know them to build team chemistry. 

jane.png

WINNING STRATEGIES

  1. Love yourself. Sometimes we can be our biggest enemy, and we must be intentional to remind ourselves to be for you. Does what you are doing bring you joy?

  2. Embrace the grieving process. Recognize that it is a part of healing and everyone’s cycle looks different.

  3. Remember that you do not know everyone’s story. We all have our baggage, and instead of being frustrated or critical to others, remind yourself to open your heart and be Human 2 Human.

SEASON 5 10 Talks Cover Photos (7).png

​WINNING STRATEGIES

  1. Remember rest and recovery. Being a competitor makes us think that the grind will work on everything that we do, and it’s important to remember to listen to our bodies and put ourselves first.

  2. Always have an open mindset. Shifting your thinking to put a positive spin on what may normally be considered negative will help you come out on the other side.

  3. Have a support team. Sometimes we just need a fresh perspective, and asking for help is a sign of strength.

khalia.png

​WINNING STRATEGIES

  1. Find your definition of winning that creates forward focus and positive self-talk. Recognize that winning may not always be defined as perfect.

  2. Time is a currency that we do not get back. We each get 24 golden nuggets in a day, and it is important to be intentional about how you invest your golden nuggets.

  3. Ask yourself what your stat is on a scale of 1-10 for things you do throughout your day. If it is not a 10, how can you make it a 10?

joi.png

WINNING STRATEGIES

  1. Build relationships with and find the values of both players and staff to create a CHAMP10N team.

  2. Use active listening by listening to hear and understand, rather than to speak. Being intentionally open can help honor the conversations you have and create open communication.

  3. Preparation is key to optimum performance. The preparation may even be harder than the actual performance to build confidence and be ready for whatever happens in the game.
