The Freshman Foundation® helps young athletes BE READY for every next step in the game of life through mental performance coaching.
I received my undergraduate college degree in political economy. I really enjoyed studying economics because it is so pragmatic. Most of the concepts made logical sense to me.
One economic theory that resonates with me is called "The Law of Diminishing Marginal Returns."
Most athletes start playing their sport at a very young age. When they first start, performance improvements happen in big chunks just by virtue of investing time, effort, and energy in the sport.
As athletes get older, they continue to invest a significant amount of time, amount, and energy to improve at their sport. The improvements but not be as "chunky," but they focus in on improving the nuances of their performance.
Ultimately, athletes become "expert" at a certain point (some say after 10,000 hours) by virtue of all of the time, effort, and energy they expend over the course of years.
At the expert level, the marginal return on every swing, every pitch, every shot, every lap decreases to the point where the marginal return may be minuscule or even neutral. Yet, we never stop putting in the skill work to develop our game.
However, what if we redirected just ONE HOUR per week from physical practice to dedicated mental practice?
What would be the marginal return on intentional mental practice if you've never invested a minute?
Well, if you refer back to graph in the image, then you'll see that the return on that mental game investment will be pretty big.
So, why not take an hour per week to LEVEL UP your mental game?
