Principles of Mental Training

MENTAL TRAINING CANNOT REPLACE PHYSICAL TRAINING AND TALENT.

A strong mind may not win ALL THE GAMES, but a weak mind will NOT win one.

Physical training and natural ability WILL NOT CREATE SUCCESS CONSISTENTLY.

Coaches CAN THINK DIFFERENTLY ABOUT MISTAKES MADE TECHNICAL VS MENTAL.

YOUR MIND CONTROLS YOUR BODY. Consistent thinking = consistent behavior.

Coaches frequently don’t know what IS GOING IN THE LIVES OF THEIR STUDENT-ATHLETES.

FOR IMPROVEMENT WE MUST push athletes and performers to take the time to do mental training.

In order to MAXIMIZE performance mental assessments are important.

PARENTS AND COACHES must PLAY A PART in the mental training process.

Coaches MUST MODEL AND SHARPEN their mental skills, AS WELL.
