Working with a mental performance coach with a vast experience and knowledge of mental skills training as an athlete, coach, and consultant was a valuable resource for our team in preparation for National Championships. Using of unique analogies to explain mental skills allowed the athletes to develop and create their own mental skills repertoire. In fact, by the end of the summer the athletes had been exposed to so many different strategies as a team that each athlete had developed their own mental skills routine and were aware of which strategies were most effective for them. The end result was a more unified, focused, and well-rounded team able to adapt to various situations/issues.
