Let's Play with our Instincts

Do you ever feel like your instincts are "bad" or that you don't have them? Well, you're wrong.

You're wrong because there is no such thing as a bad instinct nor is there such a thing of a good instinct. And let me also tell you that we all have instincts--we just have to find a way to let them come out naturally.

But why does Coach Jojo think this is a subject worth talking about in our sport?

Instincts are EVERYTHING in our sport because playing a sport is fast. You have to make reactions right on the spot and in the moment, but that becomes hard to do when you're thinking about everything.

Thinking about your mechanics, your techniques, whether or not you're going to make the correct play, not to messing up, and playing perfectly.

Our thoughts are slow and our instincts are fast.

In this episode, Coach Jojo chats about how crucial it is to unlock your inner powers, A.K.A. your instincts. She lets you know that your overthinking thoughts are the reason for why you can't play on the fly, which results in you not playing like yourself.

And who is having fun when they're playing like themselves? Not me!

The irony of having an instinct is to develop the skill to not think (or overthink for that matter), but it actually does require some thinking in order to develop the skill. Luckily, Coach Jojo provides 3 tools of how to help yourself become a reactor and not an over-thinker.

1. TRUST your first read

2. TRUST in a word

3. TRUST in your reactions

If you're struggling with playing off of an instinct, this episode will help you unlock your future! (Of course if you also practice and do the work yourself.)
