The Mindset Drills Program

You know the drill.

In the gym or on the pitch, you don’t just play the game. You drill the fundamentals until they’re second nature — footwork, positioning, timing. Reps, reps, reps.

That’s how confidence is built. That’s how clutch moments are won. So why not do the same for your mind?

Mindset Drills are mental reps. Tools like Visualisation, Mental Rehearsals, Anchoring, and Priming help you train your nervous system to stay focused, sharp, and confident under pressure.

1. Visualisation – Mental Reps Before the Real Thing

Visualisation is used by elite athletes, performers and leaders — because your brain doesn’t know the difference between a well-visualised event and a real one.

By seeing yourself win, respond calmly, or perform with confidence, you train your brain to believe it’s already happened. So when the moment comes, it’s familiar.

👁 It’s like shadowboxing for the mind – no gloves, just focus.

2. Mental Rehearsals – Run the Play Before It Starts

Going into a big lift, a competition, or even a meeting? Mental rehearsals are like a pre-match warm-up in your head.

You run through the whole scene in detail — what you'll see, hear, say, do — so you feel prepared and in control. Less guessing. More instinct.

🎯 It’s the playbook in your head – so when life calls the play, you’re ready.

3. Anchoring – Lock in Confidence on Cue

Ever have a song or smell trigger a memory instantly? That’s an anchor.

In performance psychology, you can build your own anchors — linking a physical action (like clenching a fist or touching your chest) with a powerful emotional state (like confidence or calm).So when nerves hit? Boom. Anchor it. You’re back in the zone.

🧷 It’s like having a reset button built into your body.

4. Priming – Set Your Mental Tone

Priming is the quick activation tool that sets your mental state before the pressure hits. It combines breath, movement and intention to get your body and brain in sync.

Great before training, events, or any moment where you need to show up sharp.

⚡ Think of it as flipping the “ON” switch for your mind.

🔁 Sample Routine: Mindset Drills in 10 Minutes or Less

Here’s a simple, powerful drill sequence to use before a match, gym session, interview or anything where mindset matters:

🔹 Step 1: Priming (2–3 minutes)

• 1 minute of deep breathing to reset

• 30 seconds of body movement (jumps, stretches, shakeout)

• 1 minute of self-talk:“I’m ready. I’ve done the work. I trust myself.”

🔹 Step 2: Visualisation & Mental Rehearsal (5 minutes)

• Sit still, close your eyes

• Visualise yourself walking into the moment: focused, calm, confident

• Then mentally rehearse the exact actions: how you’ll move, speak, perform

• Feel the emotions — not just see it, feel it.

🔹 Step 3: Anchoring (2 minutes)

• While visualising success, squeeze your fist or press your fingers together

• Do this every time you feel powerful — link the emotion to the action

• Over time, this becomes your quick-switch back into flow state

Why It Matters

You don’t wait for the game to start before you warm up. You drill first.

Mindset Drills get you mentally ready to perform on command. They wire in confidence, prep your nervous system, and make pressure feel familiar — even easy.
