A Champion's Mindset I don’t really believe I could teach someone how to create a Champion’s mindset. I believe a person’s personality and character traits create the foundation of a Champion’s mindset. The basic ingredients are born to every individual, but life’s experiences, early childhood environment and influences do contribute in developing the quality of character and personality traits commonly found in athletes who express a champion’s mindset. There is an energy, a frequency of vibration, an essence of character and personality found in people, an inherent quality in the way a person thinks, acts, experiences and feels about who he is and what he does in demonstrating a champion’s mindset. Like potential, the possibilities are there for anyone to exhibit the traits of a champion. I wasn’t born with a champion’s mindset, but my early life, situations, circumstances and experiences came together at various times to create the foundation for me to gravitate toward that mindset. Mother’s death and friend’s rejection were contributing factors in creating a champion’s mindset. There were two major experiences when I was 8 years old which contributed to the formation of a champion’s mindset. The first experience was the death of my mother. My mother’s death was a very traumatic experience, but not in the usual emotions of a traumatic loss of love. Of course I was sad, but that emotion soon turned into anger. I became a loner, withdrawn, quiet, serious, angry and aggressive. Instead of developing the proverbial “chip” on my shoulders, I created full grown trees. Anger and aggression were attitude sought after in sports like boxing and football so, I gravitated to these sports early in life. I was blessed in having coaches who taught me through expressing kindness, understanding and patience. If you are blessed with great teachers and coaches early in life they can and will create a strong foundation of trust, faith and belief in your abilities, skills and talents. Continuous, consistent, conscious awareness through focused attention will create miraculous results in whatever you desire to achieve.

Town Image of Busy People

by Glenn Coxon—Reinvention Headquarters We’ve all heard of the big end of town from those on the TV, in the news and quite often its politicians talking about the big end of town. Having spent a decade working in the big end of town for Australia’s largest company as a business coach I learned a few tricks which are transferable to the Martial Arts business. Many of those tricks I wish I’d learned for my own Martial Art school years before. So what do the corporates have to share of value for a Martial Arts school ?
Graham Slater Finding Better Qualifications

Today’s Martial Arts Instructors, need more than a standard curriculum apprenticeship to run a school as a business. The old school ways of ‘build it and they will come,’ will only work if people know how to find it and have all the right elements to keep them there.

Small Fish in a Big Pond
By Glenn Coxon 27 Jul, 2021
Are you a SMALL fish in a LARGE pond? The interesting thing about being a small fish in a large pond, that is to say you’re really just another Martial Arts school amongst a myriad of other MA schools, is the challenge of being noticed. How can you get noticed without spending a fortune on advertising, marketing, wasting many hours battling to get your name out there? This next tip relates to that concept of the small fish in a large pond. If you want to stand out and become a bigger fish in the pond you need to be seen as an expert in some area. Okay, by that I mean you need to be seen as more than just another Martial Arts expert, because quite honestly there’s many of us out there and to the consumer, we’re all the same. The real questions to ask yourself is, what’s going to make you look different, what is going to make you stand out in that big pond, and why will someone come to you rather than someone else? If you can identify yourself to your prospective customers as the expert in a niche market and stand out as the leader in that market rather than looking like a small fish in a big pond you will be the BIG fish in a SMALL pond which is far more valuable and has greater potential for sustainability

Every Martial Arts instructor has one thing in common: a love for the Martial Arts. The passion your students see in your instruction is possibly the greatest reason they continue to attend your classes. Time and time again, we hear about the Martial Arts school that’s losing all their students to a competitor, and the reason why?
