The diagram above illustrates how each of these skills is interconnected and how, together, they shape an athlete’s ability to thrive—both in sport and in life. The circle represents you, the whole athlete, coach, or parent and is divided into eight sections. The top half of the circle highlights the foundations of physical performance: Nourishment, Energy, Movement, and Recovery. The bottom half of the circle reflects the mental performance skills: Confidence/Identity, Focus, Visualization/Self-Talk, and Resilience.
