Everyone knows the X Men and its classic characters from the comic book series. These figures represent great mindsets to have as an athlete, and I will explain how.
Magneto
Power- Can control and manipulate metal
The athlete mindset- Most dangerous things in the world are made with some metal, like knives, bombs, and bullets. Magneto can control all of these things, and that makes him fearless. Being fearless as an athlete is a great attribute. When in the weight room think of yourself as being Magneto. He can control metal and weights are usually metal move the weight as easy and as fast as magneto would.
Wolverine
Power-Fast healing has indestructible metal bonded to skeleton
The athlete mindset- Wolverine, is a bad ass, he does what he wants and plays by his own rules. Sometimes athletes need to not care about anything but what they are trying to accomplish. Healing fast is the key to being great athlete injuries happen, but at the same time training, every day wears and tear on your body. Do what you have to do every day so you can heal fast like Wolverine.
Professor X
Powers- Worlds most powerful telepath, he can control minds, memory manipulation,
Athlete Mindset- The professor wins battles with his mind and intelligence. Be smart about your decisions as professor x would and have confidence in your abilities. Also become a great leader, not a follower. He is the leader of the X men, and if you lead a group of people, you will be able to control minds yourself.
Phoenix
Power- Telekinesis and telepathy, and the ability to turn into pure energy
Athlete Mindset- Pure energy is compelling. The sun is pure energy when you wake up in the morning think of your athletic abilities being as powerful the sun. If you believe it, great things will happen. The sun provides so many great things for this planet and is needed for human survival. Do something for the world that is great for others.
Beast
Power- Superhuman strength
Athlete Mindset- His name and powers say it all.
Iceman
Powers- Iceman can create freezing temperature, create and or manipulate ice
Athlete Mindset- Athletes all know how to get hot, how to get heated but forget the power of being cool. Cool down when angry, cool down after hard workouts in an ice tub, cool down when you think you’re the hottest thing on the planet. Stay cool like Iceman.
Juggernaut
Power- superhuman strength and endurance, and is virtually an immortal and indestructible force.
Athlete Mindset- He can’t and won’t be stopped. If you want to be like him, do not let know one stop you or kill your dreams mentally.
