This is a one time class for students between the ages of 12-17, who are interested in the mental side of sports and improving their sports performance. It is called “Think Like a Champion: Use Sport Psychology To Improve Athletic Performance.” Students will learn how elite athletes think, and how they can learn to think like them in both sports and life.  I will begin each section with a famous quotes from a famous athlete to emphasize the importance of different mental abilities. Subtopics include goal setting, performance anxiety, concentration, motivation, and confidence.  I will provide background on the topic and provide interesting case studies from my own experience working with high school and college athletes. After every section I will provide activities that the students can utilize to help them improve their performance. We will talk about how they can apply the skills to their specific sport or situation. At the end of the course they will have time to ask questions. They will find the class interesting, informative, and helpful
