It goes without saying the CrossFit is a competitive fitness endeavor. When training for recreation or competition, it is just as important to train our minds as it is our bodies. Here are some hints to developing a more competitive mind through the 4 C's of mental training.
The 4C's
Concentration, confidence, control and commitment (the 4C's) are generally considered the main mental qualities that are important for successful performance in most sports .
- Concentration - ability to maintain focus
- Confidence - believe in one's abilities
- Control - ability to maintain emotional control regardless of distraction
- Commitment - ability to continue working to agreed goals
The techniques of relaxation, centering and mental imagery can assist an athlete to achieve the 4C's.

effort, then 5 seconds less on my second, and the same on my third, as my PR). Then max rep 45# shoulder press x 3: 15, 6, 2. That went downhill fast!
