HOW YOUR BODY LANGUAGE IS LOSING GAMES. ❌
I’ve played Volleyball since I was 13 for almost 5 years now and it’s taken me UNTIL RECENTLY to realise that the general trend of people who play volleyball are insecure and anxious people.
This is because, statistically, volleyball is more accessible in developed regions and people who live in developed regions tend towards insecurity and inferiority complexes. Technically, sport as an idea furthers this agenda BUT that doesn’t mean there isn’t a lot to learn from it.
Your mindset is the STRONGEST weapon to you in this world.
You must NEVER believe - in your mind - that you are failing. Once you set ANY DOUBT into your MIND, you create hundreds of mental barriers that make PROGRESSION 100 times harder.🚶
Your bodies are programmed to listen to your mind, whether it’s conscious or subconscious. If you let your mind WANDER on its own, it will RUN TO SURVIVAL.🏃♂️
What does that mean, Paul?
Well, it means unless you have some specific genetic mutation, you are destined to be insecure AT BIRTH.
Your instincts and patterns will LEAD you to BELONG TO A GROUP and to NEVER stand out. If left on its own, YOU WILL RARELY BE SEEN BY ANYONE. No predators will ever find you.
I.e. No one will EVER JUDGE YOU.
And of course, your mind translates to your body so your BODY LANGUAGE is now SMALL. You HUNCH YOUR BACK, you LOOK DOWN, you SPEAK SOFTLY, you DON’T HOLD EYE CONTACT. YOU HIDE.😶
How am I going to win a game when my 5 other teammates are LOOKING AWAY after a point is won or lost? How will I COMMUNICATE? Now I feel like doing the same because I don’t want to stand out. WRONG.
BECOME AN INFLUENCE. Now imagine your 5 other teammates imitate your actions. Now it’s unstoppable and it’s not JUST YOU anymore, it’s a WHOLE GROUP.
You MUST PLAY THE SYSTEM if you want to WIN. CHANGE your mindset. Put your chest out. Celebrate points and be proud when you’re losing.
Have some arrogance please.
