🧠THE MIND GAME

Choice-Points and the Michael Phelps Lesson 🏊‍♂️➡️🏏

Even Michael Phelps — the most decorated Olympian of all time — didn’t train at 100% every day. He faced the same inner battles as everyone else: “Do I rise or sleep? Do I finish the set or settle?” His mindset wasn’t about perfection, but about making the best choice available in each moment. Even 30% effort, consistently banked, mattered.

For cricket coaches, the lesson is clear: players will always arrive with fluctuating energy, emotion, and focus. Coaching isn’t about demanding full throttle every day, but helping athletes recognise their choice-points — and equipping them to respond in ways that move performance forward, however small the gain. Consistency of mindset, not constant peak output, is what builds champions.
