Skiing is all mental

Everytime I ski I tell myself that I am a programmed super human that was created to master skiing. It motivates me to bust new tricks and I never feel fear anymore. The difference between a beginner and a pro is that the pro knows the right mentality. Just dont be scared of shit because you only have 80 years on planet earth, whats the worst that can happen, you die? Just go big.

everything we do in this world is all mental prep, the mind is the most powerful thing

so true, if your scared of everything you wont be able to do anything, and all of your fear is in your head. so if you change your mindset, become more fearless and open to new things, you can improve for sure.

true that everything seems so hard when you think about it then when you do it it doesn't feel nearly as hard.

i say stuff to myself like 'fear is the mind killer' and 'what one man can do, another can do' to mentally prepare

skiing is pretty physical too. If I had no legs i dont think i could do a 540. But thats just me.
