Finding your "Why" in sport

Those who have a "why" to play can handle any obstacle! This portion of the workshop will focus on tapping into your reasons for playing and how aligned they are with your personal values.

In this section, you will explore the internal dialogue of your mind and what you really are telling yourself when you are performing. After this, you will learn what pieces of inner dialogue to keep and what self-talk strategies you can incorporate to help boost performance in competition!    

Understanding the mindset of confidence

Look good, feel good, play good! Athletes who can unlock their confidence are better able to perform throughout the ebbs and flow of the game. This portion of the workshop will offer you certain tips and techniques to boost your confidence quickly. This section will also explore what may be holding you back from being the confident person within. 

Using visualization both in and out of competition

If you can't see it, how do you even get there? Create your future now and live into it! This portion of the workshop will focus on learning how to properly incorporate visualization strategies in your performance. 

Handling pressure when it comes your way

Pressure is inevitable. Pressure is uncomfortable. Pressure makes diamonds! This portion of the workshop will focus on how we react to the perceived internal and external pressures of competition and how we can rise above the noise. Athletes who can use their mental resources properly under pressure are better able to achieve elite performance.
