Limitless Mental Performance

Hello everyone! We have an exciting announcement to share that highlights an important milestone in our careers as students of the craft of performance psychology. As of this month, both members of Limitless (Jake & Mike) have earned the title of Certified Mental Performance Consultant (CMPC®) through the Association for Applied Sport Psychology (AASP). Clarity surrounding what this credential means and looks like can be found on the proceeding slides. Feel free to DM us here or through our website if you have any questions or would like to know more! Our aim as CMPCs is to help performers increase proficiency in a variety of cognitive processes and self-regulation skills, effectively building out a “mental toolbox” that is unique to them. We look to enable each of our clients to be consistent and successful when working with their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors; in any context. As always, thank you for reading and following along! All relevant links can be found via the LinkTree in our bio. Have a great Thursday! #limitless #performance #psychology #meettheteam #AASP #CMPC

☀️ What's up everybody! 🛹This week we're stoked to feature a message from pro skateboarder, Tyson Bowerbank, sourced from his recent digital portrait for The Platfrm, entitled Tyson Bowerbank, A Genuine Powerhouse. Shoutout to Skyler Wilder for this awesome description: "Tyson Bowerbank is a genuine powerhouse. On the board, a total powerhouse of ability both technical and of impact. Off the board, he is a truly genuine individual—a quality that has described him his entire life. But that’s only the beginning of his story. Over the years Tyson has struggled on and off the board, as well. Between picking up sponsors, chasing the dream of someday turning pro, realizing the dream and then watching it slip away—it’s enough to drive anyone away. Then you tack on the rest of what life has in store for you and who knows where you net out. Tyson opens up about his own bouts with mental illness and the toll it took on his ability to chase his dream. That’s when family and friends came into play. For Tyson, it was both. With the constant support of a tight family, it was after his friend Ryan Decenzo reached out and offered a second chance that the fire reignited." 🔗🌲 Check out Tyson's digital portrait when you have a moment. A few themes that shine through are authenticity, leaning on your support network, learning from struggles, the power of purpose & reconnecting with your 'why'. 🤙We're looking forward to watching Tyson show off his talents this weekend in the street events at the Rockstar Energy Open. Have a great week! ------------------------------ #performance #sport #psychology #mentalskills #training #powerhouse #enjoyment #authenticity #autonomy

☀️ Hello everyone! 🤸♂️ This week we're excited to feature USA Olympian gymnast Stephen Nedoroscik. Namely, a recent interview conducted by Nick Remsen of Vogue that involved him sharing his perspective and elite pre-performance routine. 🥉 Upon winning a bronze medal for USA Gymnastics in the 2024 Paris Olympics, he had some wisdom he was willing to share about his pre-performance routine. The different ways that he gets his mind right are textbook high-performance psychology in action. In this interview, he dives into his Individual Zone of Optimal Functioning (IZOF) (Hanin, 1997, 2000), or his preferred (and perceived as his most favorable) emotional and mental state when immersed in a performance. 💭 What does your pre-performance routine look like? 💭 What is your "IZOF?" 🔗🌲 Check out the mentioned research within our bio, and below you’ll find the link to the mentioned article. Have a great weekend everyone! https://lnkd.in/gqnrsRBm ------------------------------ #performance #sport #psychology #mentalskills #training #focus #breath #visualization #routine #reframing #fear

☀️Happy Saturday everyone! 🥇As the Olympics come to an epic conclusion later this weekend, we want to share an inspiring message from renowned author and speaker Brad Stulberg, sourced from his recent opinion piece for the NY Times, entitled "What the Olympics Can Teach Us About Excellence." We'll keep it short and encourage you to check out the full article! As Brad shares, "Excellence is a process. That process can, and must, be renewed every day. The real reward for excellence is not the medal or the promotion, but the person you become and the relationships you forge along the way." 🎯The Olympic Games are no doubt a captivating spectacle, and while the performances may seem out of reach for most of us, they also offer a chance for personal reflection. As Brad goes on to say, the Olympics offer us an opportunity to look inward and reflect on our versions of excellence. This lens comes through three questions: - How should I spend the time I have? - How do I summon the focus to pursue my interests with care? - What does this say about the values I hold and my desire to practice them? 🔗🌲 Check out the full article in the NY Times for free—the link can be found in the 'Weekly Messages' section at the link in our bio! How do you define excellence in your life? Share your thoughts below! ------------------------------ #performance #sport #psychology #mentalskills #training #olympics #excellence #gameswideopen

🌙 Good evening Limitless community! ✏️ Mike’s next blog looks at the concept of establishing your own “Reset Button.” Carving out time for a mental reset is important, and Mike’s here to share a perspective on it. 🪜 Here, he proposes a way to look at many things that we do as a form of resetting or refocusing on the here and now. This writing piece looks at ways that we can intentionally place many forms of reset into our daily lives. Ultimately, this looks at ways to create a mental system that looks out for the self and normalizes the fact that you are allowed to take a minute to step back, take a break, and reset. 🧃Head on over to michaelmata.substack.com to check out this post and learn more about his take on this concept! 🔗 🌲 The link can also be found in our bio. -——————————— #limitless #performance #psychology #writing #reset

🌞 Good afternoon, friends! 🏀 This week we’re taking a look at the mindset of USA Basketball member Cierra Burdick. 🧠 You can see the eloquent way that her mind works as she naturally responds during the interview- even if you just listen to her speak for a few seconds. Her perspective— which is filled with gratitude, investment in self, dreaming, and acknowledging blessings— is trained. It doesn’t just magically happen; rather, it’s realized by laying bricks (building mental skills) over time. 🧱 It’s clear that Cierra has put the work in on the mental side of her game. And by the way she engaged in this interview, it’s clear that she doesn’t take it for granted. Let’s all be like Cierra. 🔗🌲 Check out the YouTube video by FIBA3x3 to learn more about her and the other USA Basketball players!
