Creating a Power Phrase for Confidence and Focus

Libby Tricket, Olympic gold medalist, shares how her coach's advice of creating a power phrase significantly impacted her performance as a young athlete. Dealing with asthma and facing doubts before her first world championships, Tricket and her coach developed a power phrase ('I'm strong, I'm fit, I'm healthy, therefore I'm fast') to boost her confidence and focus. By repeating this phrase, Tricket was able to block out negative thoughts, improve her mood, and concentrate on her performance.
