A sports performance journal is a valuable tool for athletes to enhance their mental agility and focus, track progress, and gain insights into improving their performance.
This journal combines daily self-awareness prompts, inspirational quotes, and thought-provoking questions to create more joy and time in peak performance states for the athlete.

I asked Erin to provide me a little summary of how this project evolved.
From Erin:
In February my business partner Shannon Earle and I launched a business called Slingshot Performance Coaching.
She, too, is a former Division 1 athlete (swimmer @ Arizona State), and we both wished we’d known the mental performance tools we teach now when we were competing!
We work with teams and athletes middle school-college anywhere in the country. One tool to improve performance involves tracking and reflecting on several influencing factors.
I created this performance training journal for anyone who is interested in using this process and hoping to perform better.
It includes some of my favorite quotes and introspective questions.
The 130-page paperback book, published earlier this month, is directed toward readers from 12-18 years old.
It's available at Amazon.com for $22.95.
Note: I've known Erin since she was born. Her parents, Bernie and Patti, have been forever friends.
Erin, a volleyball standout, served as photo editor for the Cedar Post newspaper when she was in high school.
She works as an educator for Lake Pend Oreille School District 84.
Good luck with this endeavor, Erin.

The Sandpoint High girls varsity basketball team now has a 6-1 record after rebounding from a tough loss at Lake City earlier this week.
Read about their win over Timberlake last night.

AND, after scrolling through the photos, you'll read some news from the Montana Gooby Ranch.
In case you're wondering, Mary Ann is still working really hard so that Dick can relax----even without the cows.
Merry Christmas,
Last year was a real tough year but
this year made it look like a picnic.
Things got so bad we had to sell our
cattle. Mary Ann herded the cows to the
sale yard. They grazed as they walked
along. It took her four days. She bawled all the way. There will be good
grass along the road next year because she gave it a good irrigating.
A couple weeks later we got two thank
you cards from the neighbors saying they were really proud of us for selling
the cattle. I guess they won’t miss our
cattle grazing on their hay fields once in a while.
We had a bunch of trees in our yard
that had died from lack of water. They
are nice sized. Mary Ann cut them
down. Then she got the crosscut saw and
cut them into firewood size pieces. They
made a nice stack for winter. Since we
had this nice pile of wood, when we went to the mountains Mary Ann was free to
carry my hunting rifle instead of cutting wood.
That way we could go further and climb higher.
Mary Ann wanted a lap dog that would sit on her lap and keep her warm this winter. I offered to sit on her lap but she said she preferred the dog. He wouldn’t block out the TV screen.
She heard that a neighbor had a litter of Toy Aussies. We had to immediately go look on a freezing winter night. She picked out a little boy and named him Timber. Now he is a year old and weighs 14 pounds. He loves to chase cats, horses, her other dogs and coyotes.
He’s so busy that all year he sat on her lap twice. Maybe if he keeps up his current activities,
I will get to sit on Mary Ann’s lap after all.
We wish you a Merry Christmas and a
great 2024.
