We hope to empower and inspire you to: 1. Give less power to distractions, upset (i.e., not allowing natural fear or dread get in the way of you focusing your attention on performing as well as you can, each moment). 2. Have less (unhelpful) reactivity to such upset (i.e., though the practices we offer in no way promise to stop such diffcult emotions. Instead, you will be empow- ered to be less of a victim to them because you will learn to tolerate them and have the freedom to focus you attention where you want to place it!). 3. Lock-in your attention while adapting and adjust to what is occurring around you (i.e., you will be able to pay attention to your sport instead of to the uninvited thoughts and feelings surging through your mind and body). The focus of this chapter is primarily about number three above, locking in your attention and being able to adjust to what shows up when practicing or competing. We will offer you ways to think about and implement a mental approach that helps you adapt and adjust to whatever shows up, good or bad, helpful or unhelpful, sur- prising or expected, including internal states as well as variations and unexpected occurrences in your practice and sport environment. We believe that this approach allows you to truly fourish in sport. As you free yourself from the bondage of past regrets, future fears and assumptions of what you will experience, you move into a new realm of faster learning and improved performance. The quality of your inter- nal experience improves, as does your ability to take on whatever comes your way. It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is most adaptable to change. Charles Darwin
