It is Competition season, so we are bringing back Christie to talk about what is going on in your head with you are doing training or competing. We will be running this seminar a little differently than last year. Attendees are welcome to submit their questions prior to the seminar for Christie to address. Think about what hurdles you have with reaching your goals, what goes through your head when you are wodding and do you have any negative self talk?

1. If you could improve your mental game by 10% – what area would you want to change?
2. What mental aspects do you feel help you at Crossfit?
3. What mental aspects do you feel hold you back at Crossfit?
4. When you are “on’ and do well, what is your thinking like?
5. When you are “off” and do poorly, what is your thinking like?
6. What have you tried to do to help yourself in those situations and have they worked?
7. Any questions in general around the mental game.
