Day 1: From “High School Athlete” to “College-Ready Athlete”
Before anything changes physically, something has to change mentally.
I often tell athletes this:
“You’re transitioning from Harry the High School Athlete to Charlie the College Athlete.Those two live very differently.”
Same athlete.Same talent.Very different expectations.
College-ready athletes:• Eat with intention• Train with purpose• Recover on purpose• Take accountability seriously
High school athletes often:• React instead of plan• “Wait and see”• Hope things work out
Neither is good or bad — but they are not the same.
Today’s simple task (10 minutes):
Have your athlete write down:
- Who am I right now as an athlete?
- Who do I need to be by the time I report to college (or the next level)?
That’s it.
Because behavior always follows identity.
If an athlete still sees themselves as a high school kid, they’ll keep eating, training, and recovering like one.
MAHA starts here — not with weight, not with workouts — but with a decision.
👇 Parent reflection question:Do your athlete’s daily habits match the level they say they want to play at?
