Knowing who you are so that your intangible skills may deliver championship results #MindsetMoment. Minimally letting out your intangible skills will deliver extraordinary results at the right time, but unexpectedly from an uncommon source.

The most unlikely participants are not always the champion or elite athlete that consistently delivers results. What are those intangibles and who on your team will deliver their extraordinary skills and possibly a championship?

Dr. Wightman separates training from confidence, practice, and delivering what is necessary at the right moment.
