Today we did Chapter 10: Routines.

We completed Worksheet 10.1 and turned it in.

Today we did Ch. 9: Controlling Distractions.

Today we went over Ch 8: Focus. We started a week long focus activity: Focus Test and Focus Log.

We turned in our papers on Commitment. Next week our papers will be on Work Ethic.

Today we finished talking about fitness and completed Worksheet 3.3.

Then we went on to lesson 4 and learned about acting tough, training cycles, sleep cycles, and nutrition.

We turned in the pyramid paper on Respect. Next week the pyramid paper is about Self-Control. How can self-control make you a better athlete?

Today we did Ch 3 on becoming Physically Tough. We did Worksheet 3.2

The Pyramid Paper on “Respect” is due next time (Thursday).

Today we learned about Chapter 2: The 7 Pillars of Mental Excellence and completed worksheet 2.1.

We also turned in the first Pyramid Paper, about the Education block. Next week’s pyramid paper will be about the Respect block.

Today we did Chapter 1: Intro to Sport Psychology. We talked about the history of sports, the definition of sport psychology, careers in sport psychology, and what a sport is.

I assigned a paper on “Why you love your sport.” See the assignment requirements by clicking HERE.  Paper is due on Sept 6.

Also, don’t forget. Your Pyramid Paper on the bottom block “Education” is due Friday. 1 page or less about why it helps you to be a “student of your sport.”

We have started our next unit on Confidence and Focus. These are very important factors. I hope you are paying close attention and trying to apply them to your sports.

We just learned the beginning of focus and you were assigned the 7 day focus log. Do one of the focusing exercises everyday and record in your log. After 7 days we will do a focus post-test to determine if your focus has improved at all.

Today we did Chapters 2 and 3 on Physical Toughness. We discussed how to train properly and general physical fitness, about acting tough on the outside, and about how the machine of your body works (sleep cycles, training cycles, nutrition, and hydration.)

Next time, come to class wearing workout clothes. We are going to do a little of everything we learned about.

We had a pop-quiz about the last lesson (Ch. 1).  We started Chapter 2: The Seven Pillars of Mental Excellence, but we did not get very far on A day.

All students should have turned in their disclosure docs by now. And you should all have your “quote of the day” ready to go in case you are called on to give yours.
