Many athletes who want to reach their peak potential are always in search of secrets to hop into the ‘*zone.* But the zone is really not that complicated or hard to achieve when the right mental game strategies are put into place.
It is difficult to enter a *zone* state every time you compete. No one is perfect, but you can learn the mental strategies that will help you get there more often! Tiny Zone
What really is the zone? The zone is simply a mental state of total involvement in the present moment. I like the word *immersed* as it indicates you lose yourself (or your sense of self) when you perform, which is how some athletes describe the zone.Being in the zone is a state of total involvement in a task without the mental burden or worry, doubt, or fear about results.So, if the zone is that simple, why can’t athletes achieve this mindset every time they hit the court or step on the diamond?Many of the top athletes do -Tiger Woods, Michael Jordan, and Maria Sharapova, for example. But some athletes are blocked from entering the zone because they are overtaken by massive distractions such as fear of failure and worry.The top athletes know how to harness the power of the zone by using thoughts and images to trigger a mindset to enter the zone.
