## Resource

In this episode, I start a series on The Mental Game of Academy, and ATC, Success. This first episode focuses on the Voice in Your Head, or Self-talk. For a lot of us, we are our worst critics. I know I have been over the years. If we allow ourselves to always be negative in our self-talk, then we will always be limiting ourselves. If we have nothing but negative thoughts, our results will probably be negative as well. If, however, we can change that around and be more positive with ourselves and start to be more realistic with ourselves, then we can shatter our self-imposed ceilings and our goals and dreams become attainable. It CAN be done! And YOU can do it! Thanks for listening! FOR HELP: To set up a FREE call: sidebysideatc.com/scheduler/free-consult Pre-Academy If you are heading to the Academy in the next few months, I put together a structured 90-day preparation blueprint that walks you through exactly what to focus on each month before you go. It's designed to help reduce shock and build confidence before day one. You can download it at: sidebysideatc.com/page/blueprint . I also have a video where I explain the different things that are on the enroute Non-Radar Map. You can get that video at: sidebysideatc.com/page/map-video . Already at the Academy If you are already in the enroute radar portion of the Academy and feeling a little behind or lost, I have a 72-Hour Radar Recovery Plan that will help you get past those feelings and start building confidence. You can download that at : sidebysideatc.com/page/72-hourplan .
