General fitness refers to the basic physical abilities required for movement and sport. These include balance, stability, flexibility, mobility, body awareness, core strength, and symmetry. These qualities lay the foundation for which more specific movements can be built upon. General fitness is important for injury prevention and overall work capacity. 

Mentality refers to the psychological characteristics required to be a successful high-performance athlete. Sport demands an array of mental skills such as calmness under pressure, emotional control, mental focus, resilience to adversity and failure, self-confidence, positivity, and optimism. Mentality is not only important for how athletes approach a game, but also for how they approach the long-term mastery of their craft.

General health refers to the physical, mental, social, and spiritual wellbeing of an athlete outside of sport. Health is a multifaceted and intricate system that stretches far beyond just physical skills on the playing court. An athlete’s ability to reach high performance relies on living a healthy lifestyle that supports their athletic endeavors. This lifestyle includes sleep, nutrition, rest and recovery, emotional wellbeing, spiritual fulfillment and meaning, and social wellbeing and connection. General health is a key component to the longevity and sustainability of an athlete’s playing career.
