Coaches are performers too! Thanks Brevard Distance Runners Camp for the opportunity to teach coaches about applying sport psychology to themselves and to the athletes they coach! #sportpsychology#mentalperformance#coaching@AretePerform
Army is one of the largest employers of mental performance coaches. The data shows it’s helping and has shown this for many years. Sport is starting to catch up but need more mental performance and mental health professionals at all levels in sport especially youth/high school.
Working with a Mental Performance Coach (education + training) can help you train using scientific principles of sport psychology to develop more effective thinking to improve performance and well-being
Many of the thinking patterns taught and developed in sport by coaches and others traditionally are ineffective and contrary to scientific best practices
Everyone is thinking. Thus, everyone is doing mental training. What is the quality of that training though? Is that thinking improving or decreasing your performance and wellbeing? #sportpsychology#mentalperformance
Coaches, please take a look at this. There’s mounting evidence that top down coaching hinders performance. Athlete autonomy is a key in their motivation.

You are more than an athlete. You are a person first. Results do not define you. One must experience all of life's emotions to truly value and enjoy the high points of life. Life is chaotic, but your response can be trained, it can be built, and it can be learned/practiced.
