Skillset
There are two types of skillsets you must master: physical and mental
​
Physical refers to individual skills that separate you from others in your sport. For example a golfer being great at putts; wrestlers mastering takedowns; sprinters working on starts
​
Mental refers to your level of understanding of your sport.
​
Do you understand the sport you are playing at a higher level than your peers?
Do you watch film of yourself and the opposition?
Can your coach trust you to remain poised if the opposing team is talking trash?
