Description

How young is too young for mental performance training? The answer isn’t as clear cut as you might think, but today's episode will help you decide whether your athlete or child is ready.


I start by breaking down the difference between training on your own versus with a coach, and how that affects the ideal age to begin serious mental performance training. Then, you’ll learn how to introduce mental performance into practice, the levels of mental performance training, and the signs an athlete is ready to move on to the next phase of training.


Find out what you can start doing today to shape more resilient, confident athletes!


 


Topics discussed:



  • The first phase of mental performance training

  • Mental performance tools for kids

  • Coach versus athlete-led mental performance training

  • Signs athletes are ready for mental performance training


 


Sign up for the The Mental Game Plan Program today and start learning these tools for yourself!
