No Ceilings For Pochettino's Spurs
There Are No Ceilings For Pochettino's Spurs
Mental roadblocks.
We all have them.
It’s how you overcome them that matters.
Many don’t and stay where they are.
Things we think, and then believe, stop us from hitting the heights we and our business are capable of hitting.
They are mental roadblocks.
Our beliefs are shaped by the first information we hear.
It isn’t easy to go against your own opinion, an opinion not based on experience, but something you have just heard.
But, as you take the bold path and work through these mental roadblocks you start seeing results.
You start seeing growth.
The mental roadblock shifts to a higher level, the same mental roadblock just higher.
Tottenham have gone through mental roadblocks.
The staff, the players, all as a result of Mauricio Pochettino coming in with Daniel Levy's mentality, anything is possible.
Why not?
Why do we have to do things the way other clubs do, why can't we grow, why can't we develop youth?
The plan is in place to grow the club but it will need the right coach to commit to a long-term project, a once in a lifetime opportunity to develop a club and take it to the top.
Belief is all you need, everything comes from belief in your vision.
Mental roadblocks are raised as you go.
In Mauricio Pochettino's first season we reached a League Cup Final. That will have given the players confidence that what they were being asked to do could work, that they were onto the right path.
That would have opened up mental possibilities to them, that qualifying for the Champions League is possible without buying success.
First one Champions league, then another, then another, now those mental roadblocks have been raised to talking about titles and winning trophies, not just getting to a final.
Fans with mental roadblocks dismiss shrewdness.
Why can't a club be shrewd and successful in the transfer market without spending a fortune? Just because it isn't the norm doesn't mean it isn't possible.
It's a lightbulb moment when you realise there is no ceiling to achievement, some hit the lightbulb moment quicker than others.
After the lightbulb moment, mental barriers are dismissed and anything is then achievable.
Liverpool were not a better team than Tottenham last season, or Manchester City, yet Liverpool made it to a Champions League Final, who would have put money on that at the start of the tournament?
The world thought the 4-minute mile was impossible, that the human body couldn’t actually run that fast, that it was a physical impossibility, that it was crazy to even try.
Doctors and scientists thought it was impossible.
Everyone who did try therefore failed.
That just reinforced the negative belief.
In Oxford, in 1954, a 25-year-old medical student, Roger Bannister, thought it was possible.
He trained far less than everyone else but had an unshakable belief.
Bannister trained for 30 minutes a day, doing speed work!
To achieve the ‘impossible’ time one would need ideal conditions, right?
May 6th 1954 the track was wet (a dry track is quicker).
It was cold (you run faster in warm weather).
The wind was strong.
By the evening it was raining.
The wind was now blowing at 15 miles an hour.
Conditions were far from ideal.
Bannister had rested for the last 5 days.
He spent the morning working in the hospital.
Chris Brasher led for the first mile, Christopher Chataway took over.
There was one lap left. Bannister’s time was 3.07. He needed to run the final lap in 59 seconds.
He went past Chataway on the back straight. It was him, his determination and the clock.
Bannister crossed the line and collapsed, exhausted.
The announcer gave the time as 3:59.4.
In conditions that were way from ideal, Bannister broke the ‘impossible’ world record.
He had broken the 4-minute barrier. He had made history, thanks to an unshakeable belief.
The mental roadblock had gone.
Once he had shown the world it was possible it ceased to be a barrier to everyone else.
The impossible was made possible.
Your challenge as fans is to remove your mental roadblocks to what Spurs can achieve.
Instead of floods of negativity as every turn, faith and belief in what the club are doing and the way they are doing it should be the order of the day.
Positivity breeds success, negativity doesn't and as fans, we help create the environment, the atmosphere the players play in.
Just as the players can not give their best if they are not 100% behind and have total belief in what they are doing, so a fan can't support. the abuse, the negativity, the moaning, it's all inside the ground, it isn't helpful, it doesn't encourage or improve performance.
The brain tricks us.
It protects you from pain, thus throws roadblocks in the way when faced with something you haven’t experienced.
People fall for it?
Are you going to be tricked?
If you listen to those pain prevention thoughts, then the ceilings they instill can keep you trapped, forever stuck at the same level, never becoming what you could be.
Ceilings are imaginary.
Without ceilings there is no, I can't, just opportunities to enjoy showing you can.
Pochettino and Spurs are aiming high in their own vision.
Are you joining the ride or are you stuck behind your mental ceilings?
