Try on some Power Poses

1. Pick a “power pose” such as the Wonder Woman (hands on hips, feet wide) or Victory (arms raised in a V-shape).

2. Practice holding this power pose for 2 minutes before your next game, practice session, or when you have time between plays. Focus on feeling powerful and confident.

3. Notice changes in your attitude and performance. Document how your energy shifts. Power poses can significantly impact your hormones and thereby enhance your self-assurance and presence.
