Ambition Habits

Tiffany Mika

In the world of sports, there's a group of athletes who often go unnoticed—the everyday female sports competitor. They are the mid-week and weekend competitors. The ones who squeeze in early morning runs before the break of dawn or late-night training sessions. They may not be gracing the covers of sports magazines or standing atop Olympic podiums, but their passion for the game is just as fierce, their dedication just as unwavering. To you the female athlete out there who feel like your efforts sometimes go unseen: Ambition Habits sees you. It's time to step into the spotlight, not just as an athlete, but as the multifaceted, unstoppable forces of nature that you are. Lace up those sneakers, hit the field, court, course or track, and show the world what it means to be seriously ambitious. Because here, every sprint, every serve, every shot is a step towards greatness, and every woman who dares to pursue her passion is a champion. Ambition Habits understands this unyielding drive. It's a movement that celebrates you the female athlete who balances life's many roles—competitor, business owner, student, leader—while still finding time to chase after your personal records and game-day victories. It's for you who knows that being an athlete isn't just about the hours of practice or the number of matches won; it's a mindset, a way of life. This isn't about elite status; it's about recognizing that ambition has no boundaries. Every milestone matters. Ambition Habits is here to say: your athletic dreams deserve to be taken seriously, no matter the scale. So, what does Ambition Habits offer?

Welcome To Ambition Habits

Ambition Habits

09/25/24 • 4 min

Welcome to Ambition Habits previously known as Tiffany Mika Podcast. It was time to change this podcast show into something more beneficial for the sporting woman, no matter her age or her standard of play in sport.

Welcome to ambition habits. I am Tiffany Mika, the founder of Ambition Habits, and I'm so excited to see you here.

Why am I so excited? Well, the reason for that is is ambition habits has been something that I've wanted to develop for a very long time.

I've had my own experiences in in sport competing at a very high level.

And what I see, especially as a coach, is I see that a lot of women out there actually lack the confidence to participate in a sport that they really enjoy in the way that they want to in the sense of socially or if they're a beginner or they've been playing for a period of time.

But they actually lack the confidence to feel that they are good enough in their sport, or they're whether they're good enough to actually try a new sport. The thing is when you're lacking confidence, it can affect you and affect your decisions on what you're going to do moving forward. So what we want make sure at ambition habits is that you have the confidence within to pursue your sport. It doesn't matter how old you are.

So you could be 15, you could be twenty, you could be 30, 50, 70, 80, 90 it doesn't matter. It's all about helping you. So it's that person that is wanting to learn a sport. It's for that person that's, competing at a local level.

It's for that person that wants to advance. So from beginner to intermediate or from intermediate to advanced or, you know, go and play world championship events, whatever it is, whatever level that is for you. That's what Ambition Habits is there for you. So what we'll be working on are skills and strategies on how to build your confidence.

We'll be working on how to over overcome your nerves when you are participating in sports, starting a sport, going and competing in the sport, just showing up and playing socially, how to deal with those nerves, and everything else that's evolved around, building that confidence in you so that you can go and play the sport that you've chosen to play or that you wanna go and play. And you can step into that arena feeling confident within, feeling good within, feeling like you belong there, feeling, in control of the the skills that you've learned, feeling in control of the the mental stuff that goes on.

And, so that you're out there accomplishing your big dreams in whatever it is that you wanna accomplish in your sport. It won't only help you in your sport, it will help you in general life as well. But the focus is going to be on helping you accomplish whatever it is that you wanna accomplish in your sport. Doesn't matter what level you are.

Doesn't matter if you're just starting out. Doesn't matter if you're quite advanced. There's going to be some great, skills, some great strategies and techniques in how to help you develop those so that you're out there competing the way that you wanna compete, playing the way that you wanna play, getting a lot of enjoyment out of playing that sport, whatever that sport is.

And most importantly is just having fun and feeling good within. The biggest thing is is when we go out and play sport, we wanna make sure that we're feeling good within. We're there to enjoy it, and we're feeling like we're actually improving and accomplishing something, whatever that level may be. So remember, it doesn't matter how old you are. You can be twenty, you can be thirty, forty, fifty, sixty, seventy, eighty, ninety. It doesn't matter.

Ambition habits is here for you. Doesn't matter on the level. Doesn't matter if you're just starting out and you're a beginner or you're, you know, a little bit more advanced into intermediate or advanced or, you know, you've got bigger dreams than that, we are here for you to help you. So I look forward to sharing all the skills and strategies on how to build confidence in in you so that you can accomplish your ambitions.

I'll be showing you all the habits that you need to have in place to help you accomplish whatever those sports ambitions may be. And, I look forward to sharing them with you in the upcoming episodes of Ambition Habits. So welcome once again to Ambition Habits. Lovely to see you here.

Have an absolutely magical day and remember, Dream Big, Believe In You & Make Your Dreams Come True.

Gain The Mental Edge - Introduction

Ambition Habits

09/15/20 • 24 min

If you have signed up for the Successful Athletes Masterclass, which is free by the way, you will get a questionnaire from me asking you what your biggest frustrations are in your sport.

These are the common responses I get from athletes;

very self conscious
doubt
lack of self-belief
struggle with pressure
fear of making mistakes
fear of giving up
fear of not giving your all
fear of getting it wrong
looking bad when playing
fear of letting team down
not performing to best of ability
getting highly emotional when competing

All of these athletes play different sports, yet they experience the same thoughts, feelings and emotions towards their sport. What it shows us as athletes and as human beings is that we go through the same thoughts, feelings and emotions however, it is our own personal take or view point because of our past experiences in these sports that we have encountered.

For example; if you are in fear that you will make a mistake when you perform a skill, this situation where you have fear that you will make a mistake over and over will repeat over and over again. The reason for this is that you respond that same way over and over again. It's a pattern of behaviour.

But, what if you had a different approach?

And how could you approach it differently?

Listen to this Introduction on Gain the Mental Edge as we will uncover how you can do it.

Have you signed up for the FREE Successful Athletes Masterclass?

In this I show you;

what's holding you back from accomplishing your goals.
how to identify your strengths and weakness in your sport and your mental side of your sport.
how to craft your plan to go after your sports goals in a strategic way.

Unleash Your Potential Within

Ambition Habits

07/25/20 • 24 min

Have you heard people say to you, "oh, you've got so much potential!"

And you know yourself that you have the potential but how do you unleash your potential within?

The attitude is that if you work harder, out the time, effort and energy into your craft (your sport) you will get the results when you compete. But unfortunately that is not the case, working harder doesn't mean that you will convert that into good competitive performances.

Here's a home truth before I share with you how to unleash your potential.

It will require work.
It will require time.
It will require effort.
It will require you educating yourself on you.

Because if you don't have these, you will have the potential but never live up to your potential and I don't want this to happen to you. I not only want you to reach your potential but reach beyond your potential.

Here are the 10 Steps To Unleash Your Potential Within;

Awareness
Belief
Skills
Practise
Learn From Setbacks, Mistakes & Losses
Success Habits
Consistency
Vision
Emotional Benefit
Have A Plan

This is outlined in much greater detail in this episode, so you will need to listen and take notes.

Managing Your Mindset Through Lockdown

Ambition Habits

04/16/20 • 17 min

All around the world we are going through some form of lockdown.

There are restrictions placed on us;

social distancing
no parties
no hanging out with friends
no social gatherings
online school learning
people are losing their jobs
economies around the world are in shutdown or a coma

And then there is YOU!

YOU THE ATHLETE!

You have had your wings clipped. You can't compete in your sport and you can't train and practice the way you normally do.

So we are all going through this adjustment process. Many people don't like change.

However, that is not you. Because you are an athlete, you are accustomed to change and you can adapt. But that doesn't mean that we don't get affected. It is normal to be affected.

There is so much uncertainty;

we don't know when we will get back to normal
we don't know when we can compete again
will this happen again

The question then is asked, "Ok Tiff, how do I manage my mindset during lockdown?"

The answer - FOCUS ON YOUR VISION

Write out your goals/outcomes/results for what you want to accomplish by the end of the;

quarter
month
week
day

And keep focusing on the vision!

This is what you can control. This is how you manage your mindset during lockdown and at any time. This is a powerful skill to implement.

Have you signed up for the Successful Athletes Masterclass?

It's a FREE training series.

You will be identifying what is holding you back.
You will be taking an inventory of the skills and mental skills you will need to achieve the level you are wanting to attain.
We will put a plan in place on how you are going to get there. Go to www.tiffanymika.com/sam

I look forward to seeing you there.

Have an absolutely awesome day and remember, Dream Big, Believe In You & Go After Your Dreams.
