At El Diamante High School Girls Basketball, we understand the importance of a strong mental game. Our team puts a huge focus on mental preparation, and taking a “one game at a time” approach, to ensure we practice mindfulness. Going into each game with clarity and a focused mindset allows us to perform to our full potential. It is essential to prepare our minds ahead of time, rather than “blindly” going into each game. With the right mental preparation, we are able to recognize and utilize our full capabilities, and come out as winners. We encourage our players to apply the same degree of focus and diligence across the board, so we come out on top. Mental resilience isn’t just about mental preparation; it is about understanding yourself and your team and recognizing your strengths and weaknesses. Only then can we strive to become a better a team together.
