It’s not the words you say aloud, because half the time [around your teammates] it’s gibberish anyway; it’s the words you say in the privacy of your own mind.

“I’m not big enough” or “I’m not strong enough” may sound like petty self-judgments of who you are as an athlete. Actually, they are the instructions that have led you to your current position.

Begin simply by declaring who and what you want to become and soon the words will become facts.
