How does the mind affect the body and, ultimately, athletic performance? How can you effectively handle important, high-pressure moments?

Local athletes, coaches, and parents, join us for this unique opportunity at the Neal Fitness Center. We’ll discuss how thoughts, emotions, confidence, and pressure influence breathing, muscle tension, heart rate, focus, decision-making, and coordination.

ATHLETES: Learn how to become more aware of your own thinking. Explore how thoughts and emotions influence physical responses, how responses affect performance, and how to recognize mental patterns before they take control.

COACHES & PARENTS: Gain insights into what athletes may experience internally and how they can support confidence, focus, communication, and long-term development.

GAIN PRACTICAL TOOLS TO:

• manage nerves

• reset after mistakes

• improve self-talk

• direct their attention toward what they can control

• take a more active role in shaping their mindset before, during, and after competition.
