It’s a tactical skill not everyone can do: run fast, put a pole in the ground and push into the air OVER a bar.

YIKES.

I asked Ashley Verplank how she mentally prepares herself to fearlessly execute the jump just moments before she does it. Her answer?

“I tell myself to not be a baby, and know that I’ve trained well for these moments. I visualize myself doing a perfect jump and then just run hard and trust that everything will come together.”

THATS AN ALPHA MINDSET.
