• How it applies into Quantum Performance Coaching
• - What your identity is - as pressure rises our performance becomes increasingly dependent on the quality of our interpretations. How i process information under pressure dictates how I perform under pressure -
• Performance Identity (unique strength, super power). Under pressure it gets challenged -
• Performance Targets - cue focusing on ahead of time vs outcome - Mistakes we can make (1) target or result and (2) incorrectly evaluating what step they’re at. - Performance Routine - physically what I do and here’s the key in a rhythmic, fun, free way. - Called Quantum Performance because Quantum is looking for underlying principles that help us organize chaotic environments
