Mountain Climbing
(Part 1)
(Part 1)
According to Ed Viesturs, the author of "No Shortcuts To The Top:
Climbing The World's 14 Highest Peaks", the most important piece of equipment
is the ice ax. In fact, he refers to it as his "most treasured tool in the mountains".
This ax can be used to keep your balance on slopes, successfully climb
steep terrain and stop a fall on snow or ice.
Think about this.
To be an exceptional athlete, you want to be mentally strong.
So, what is your "mental ice ax"?
What do you do when you are faced with a difficult or challenging situation?
When you are trying to keep your head in the game and,
at the same time, keep yourself from emotionally
or mentally slipping backwards or falling down.
Maybe it's a certain word, phrase, affirmation,
piece of music, scene from a movie,
remembering a successful performance
from the past or simply taking a deep breath.
Find it. Use it. And keep it ready at all times.
