Self-knowledge

Self-knowledge is shared knowledge. Self-knowledge does not just come from solitary reflection; more importantly, it comes from asking for open, honest feedback, for instance from your coach or team-mates. Selfknowledge will always remain limited if you are not open to the opinions of others. Self-knowledge is an essential part of setting goals, since you need to know what is within your own capabilities. Everyone who is involved in sport needs to set a mental goal as well as setting goals in technique, tactics and fitness. It is crucial to choose a goal that is specific and achievable. What exactly are you demanding of yourself, why, and how are you going to go about it? From this situation you can really start changing things to your advantage.
Self-discipline is the next pillar that will help you.
