We packed a room at the Omni hotel for a weekend-long jam session of mental training strategies taught by the top mental coaches in the business.The reason why I am writing\u00c2&nbsp;today is to tell you about one of the presenters at the Bootcamp. His name is Marc Anderson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Marc is one of an MGCP (Mental Game Coaching Professional) that I personally trained in my mental coaching system.Marc conducted a presentation on &#8220;The Power of Words and Self-Confidence.&#8221; He did a great job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Marc said that athletes must empower themselves with powerful words to achieve full-blown self-confidence.In the MGCP course, I taught Marc that athletes use different words for different levels of confidence. For example, some athletes think to themselves, &#8220;MAYBE I can perform well today.&#8221; Whereas athletes with higher confidence say, &#8220;I KNOW I can perform well today.&#8221; What a big difference one of two words can mean for athletes! He called this the pyramid of confidence self-talk. Great spin on a concept I taught him in the MGCP program &#8211; I was proud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_pyramid_goes_like_this_%E2%80%93_starting_with_the_top\"><\/span>The pyramid goes like this &#8211; starting with the top:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211;I know I will&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211;I believe I can&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211;I think I can&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211;Maybe I can&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211;I hope I can&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211;I wish I can&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I don&#8217;t need to tell you what the most effective inner voice is for athletes.
