Most people think of goals as something to reach. But in the mental game, that definition doesn’t hold. You’re not chasing an outcome—you’re activating a quality. That’s the shift. Instead of asking, “What do I want to achieve?”, ask, “What do I want to bring forward?” Do you want to bring forward awareness of your breath? A deeper connection to the court? The ability to refocus after mistakes? These aren’t external targets. They’re internal intentions. And they’re available right now. The best mental goals aren’t time-bound—they’re attention-bound. They anchor you to the present and challenge you to express your potential in real time, no matter the score, no matter the moment.

The challenge with mental goals is that you can’t always measure them the way you measure wins or stats. So instead of chasing a number, focus on engagement. Did you stay with your breath between points? Did you accept how you felt instead of fighting it? Did you hold your attention on your movement? These are real wins—and they compound. At Complete Performance, we teach athletes to track their awareness the way others track scores. Mental goals become your compass. Over time, what you bring forward consistently becomes who you are. Focused. Composed. Confident. You’re no longer “trying” to improve—you’ve become the improvement. That’s how identity shifts. That’s how performance transforms.

So what’s the move? Set one mental goal that’s specific, controllable, and felt. Maybe it’s: “I bring forward the energy of calm after every point.” Or: “I bring forward full awareness to my breath before every serve.” Then practice that. In drills. In matches. In pressure moments. Bring it forward again and again. That’s how the mental game is trained. And if you want help choosing the right mental goal—or learning how to build it into your training—we’re here. The CP Blueprint was designed to help athletes turn awareness into action. Book a conversation with a CP Coach and let’s find your next level—starting with the part of the game that most people skip. The inner game is where real change happens. And every goal worth setting starts from within.
