The whole point of Ripkik is to expand your mental game so that it is no longer a limiting factor but instead the driving force behind your results and athletic success.  Look at your upcoming season and translate all of your hopes, goals, and dreams into tangible results.  These are your season results which are cornerstones of your alter ego. In the following chapters you will work through how to prepare and empower your mindset specifically for these results.  The components of each chapter work together to develop and improve your state of mind in order to make your season results a reality. 

Answer the chapter questions to determine the results you would like to achieve this season.  Rank your top three in order of priority with number one being your top priority.  These should be the three season results that will provide the greatest impact, are most important to you, or have special significance.  The top three season results you pick will be a main area of focus as you create the rest of your alter ego. They will also be a main focal point for your mental game training. You will also want to determine when each of your season results take place.  A season result can occur during training, lead-up, warm-up, competition, post competition, or any combination thereof. 

Training:  The time you spend practicing and working out to improve your skills, strength, speed, and endurance.

Lead-up:  The day before and the day of your competition.  Where a day is broken down into three segments – morning, afternoon, and night.  

Warm-up: The time right before a competition you spend preparing your mind and body for competition.

Competition:  The competition itself.

Post Competition: The time following a competition.

After you complete the chapter questions and lay out your results for the season, you can get to work creating the roadmap to ensure your brain is up for the challenge.  The path ahead will not always be comfortable or convenient but your season results await on the other side of your roadmap, so I highly recommend you embrace the process.
