Training Your Mental Game Is Nonnegotiable

Self-Talk

You get examples of competition self-talk to conquer nerves and boost your self-belief under pressure. Hint: It's more than "positive." 

Visualization

You learn what a champion visualizes to calm their emotions and focus on doing their job. Hint: It's not victory.

The Spotlight

Every skill that we work on will help you to squash anxiety and believe in yourself when all eyes are on you.

Either way, Coach Knight and the athlete discuss the information on screen that the athlete had engaged previous to class.

 

Homework is required. The athlete prepares for a masterclass by watching videos, reading selected pages from WINNING STATE, and answering three to five mental game questions previous to each class.

For Parents

Mental Toughness Coaching:

Please make sure your athlete's participation is completely voluntary. Parents are asked to not be in the room with the athlete, peering over their shoulder during classes. Classes are one-on-one.

 

Thanks in advance. ~ Steve​​PP
