Students will be taught mental skills that professional and Olympic athletes use to achieve optimal performance. It will be tailored to what sport the student plays. Background and research on why the skill is important will be provided. I will talk with the student on how to modify the skill to fit their specific sport and situation. The student will have plenty of time to ask...
