Homework
1 hour per week. Several days prior to our private session, athletes will be asked to complete a questionnaire so I can get to know their sport, performance goals and areas on which we need to concentrate - nerves, focus, flow, etc.Class Experience
Athletes will experience a sport performance - specific guided meditation, customized to their sport and individual needs. Meditation can, among other things, increase mindfulness, calm nerves, and improve focus and concentration. Meditation enhances the mind-body connection, which is critical to experiencing “flow” or being “in the zone,” which athletes strive for on big days to achieve their optimal performance. Whether testing for a karate belt, getting ready for team try-outs, or preparing for a big tennis tournament or skating competition, each athlete will help develop, and then experience, their own guided meditation.
Learning Goals
Through their guided meditation, athletes will learn a combination of visualization, breathing and sensory-engaging techniques to help them prepare their upcoming sporting event. These techniques can be applied to other areas of life as well, whenever they need calm or focus or connection.
