can compete at a high level and develop the skills to accomplish what you have set out to achieve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>champion mindset<\/strong> is the embodiment of <strong>mental toughness<\/strong> or knowing you can <strong>overcome mistakes<\/strong> and obstacles and rise to the level of your competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The champion mindset is <strong>committed to excellence<\/strong> and is not deterred when the going gets tough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_can_a_volleyball_player_develop_a_champion_mindset\"><\/span>How can a volleyball player develop a champion mindset?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The answer is quite simple&#8230; <strong>mental preparation.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Champion mindset<\/strong> is a habit that requires daily attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>champion mindset<\/strong> is not a once in a while proposition but something that requires a steadfast <strong>focus<\/strong> in all you do (training, practicing, drills, scrimmages and against all opponents no matter their ranking).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Team USA Women\u2019s volleyball team is working to develop their <strong>champion mindset<\/strong> as the team prepares for the 2020 Olympics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though the US squad did not make it to the semi-finals at the 2018 FIVB Women\u2019s World Championships, the team realizes that solidifying a champion mindset is key as they continue to prepare to compete for championships in international competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Team USA setter Micha Hancock talked about the importance of approaching every match with the same <strong>focus<\/strong> and the same <strong>mindset<\/strong> no matter the level of competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hancock stated that <strong>mindset<\/strong> is not just something you work to develop in competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Developing a <strong>champion mindset<\/strong> requires full effort and <strong>focus<\/strong> in everything you do including every scrimmage, every practice and every drill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>HANCOCK:<\/strong> <em>&#8220;I think the good thing for this team is nothing really needs to change, it\u2019s always the same focus. We have this thing called \u2018gold-medal match day\u2019 where even if it\u2019s a scrimmage on a Friday that counts as gold-medal match day. We try to keep that standard no matter who, when or what we\u2019re playing and I think it helps at times like this.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A champion mindset is not just something available to elite athletes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"You_also_can_develop_champion_mindset\"><\/span>You also can develop champion mindset.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A champion mindset requires your daily attention. So you need to decide whether to devote your time to developing the <strong>champion mindset<\/strong> or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you work on this <strong>champion mindset,<\/strong> you will see your level of play improve&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You will feel more <strong>confident<\/strong>&#8230; You will have those competitive juices flowing and feel physically ready and <strong>mentally prepared<\/strong> to take on the challenges in front of you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>champion mindset<\/strong> is within you&#8230; you just need to unleash it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tip_for_Developing_a_Champion_Mindset\"><\/span>Tip for Developing a Champion Mindset:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A champion mindset requires practice, so that\u2019s where you need to work on it&#8230; in <strong>PRACTICE!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>View drills and scrimmages as a way to get <strong>stronger mentally.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remind yourself that this is an opportunity to develop a <strong>champion mindset.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One effective way to work on your <strong>mindset<\/strong> is to support your teammates with <strong>positive communication.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the beginning of each drill and scrimmage <strong>focus<\/strong> on being a great teammate and create a scenario in your mind that mirrors a similar situation you will face in a match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/MindsetForSports?sub_confirmation=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Subscribe<\/a> to the Peaksports YouTube channel now to receive updates on our new content!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-979ef383-5bc7-43ee-b8f9-249663ca1a6c\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Related_Sports_Psychology_Articles\"><\/span>Related Sports Psychology Articles<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul id=\"block-05642731-8752-4dbf-9c18-5cc4d276e821\" class=\"wp-block-list has-normal-font-size\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.peaksports.com\/sports-psychology-blog\/do-you-or-your-team-have-the-comeback-mindset\/\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.peaksports.com\/sports-psychology-blog\/how-to-prepare-for-pressure-in-volleyball\/\"><strong>How to Prepare for Pressure in Volleyball<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.peaksports.com\/sports-psychology-blog\/is-volleyball-90-mental\/\"><strong>Is Volleyball 90% Mental?<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.peaksports.com\/sports-psychology-blog\/how-preparation-boosts-confidence\/\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.peaksports.com\/sports-psychology-blog\/fragile-confidence-and-perfectionism-in-volleyball\/\"><strong>Fragile Confidence and Perfectionism in Volleyball<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\" id=\"block-5726d13f-f715-4ca4-8813-2f8a9ebd8bc3\">*Subscribe to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/podcasts.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/sports-psychology-podcast-by-peaksports-com\/id152566009\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>The Sports Psychology Podcast<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0on iTunes<br>*Subscribe to <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/show\/0ynyaalKxbnNmsoeL8gF5X?si=8224669de9b3435b\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>The Sports Psychology Podcast<\/strong><\/a> on Spotify<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\" id=\"block-281f5afb-980b-4c71-9aa0-11d606b5f7c9\"><strong>Download a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.peaksports.com\/mental-toughness-report-athletes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">free sports psychology report<\/a>&nbsp;to improve your mental game!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\" id=\"block-94138e75-d591-4645-bb1d-212cf57a8841\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.peaksports.com\/sport-psychology-training-athletes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Learn more about our one-on-one mental game coaching.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Mental_Edge_For_Volleyball_Players\"><\/span>The Mental Edge For Volleyball Players<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"540\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.peaksports.com\/sports-psychology-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/mental-edge-vollyball-large.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20425\" style=\"width:200px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.peaksports.com\/sports-psychology-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/mental-edge-vollyball-large.jpg 540w, https:\/\/www.peaksports.com\/sports-psychology-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/mental-edge-vollyball-large-270x300.jpg 270w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Do you <strong>over think<\/strong> your performance in games?
