How is it that certain athletes do their best when it means the most while others “choke”? Meeting and exceeding the challenges that are presented can completely change the trajectory of any athlete's career. What is it that separates the good from the great and the great from the superstars? Is it motivation, preparation, determination, discipline, commitment, natural talent, physical strength, or work ethic? Maybe it is a combination of all of these characteristics. Without the right mentality everything can fall apart. In Alcoholics Anonymous, it is said, “you don't have a drinking problem – you have a <em>thinking</em> problem.” The evidence is quite clear that the mental game can have a substantial impact, both for the better and for the worse, on performance. In this perspectives and viewpoints, we share our own insights from our experience for athletes to obtain the ultra-mentality and maximise their athletic performance.
