The 4 C's -

So whats the whole 4 C's about....well its simple! Mental ability to surf~

The 4 C's Concentration, confidence, control and commitment. Generally considered to be 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

Yes gals along with working our physical bodies we also need to work our mental.  How many times have you said I am going out and then found a excuse why not too?  or maybe second guessed yourself because everyone in the water is better than you? Well no worries, we all do it, but it's something we should work on for surfing and well lets face it life!

So here is my weekly suggestion.  Try to take 5 minutes a day for yourself. Take this mental break to remind yourself how great you are and how you will try to do something surfing related this week....aka push ups! And then do them. You will feel better about yourself and your commitment to surfing.

Working on the 4C's will not only help your surfing ability but your whole life!
