According to John Wooden, “To have physical balance, you have to be mentally balanced too.” Mental balance means not getting too high or too low emotionally. It also means not thinking about too much or too little when you perform.
You can also include motivational balance. You can’t achieve your potential if you’re under motivated or over motivated in sports. Mental toughness comes from a balanced mental game when your emotions, focus, level of confidence, and level of motivation are all within your control. To improve your “mental game,” seek to find your imbalances.
