Mental Toughness: The X-Factor in Sports 

 

In this workshop Sport Psychologist, Eddie O'Connor, Ph.D., will teach you to be more determined, focused, confident and in control under pressure.  Learn the mental skills and attitudes that you can use immediately at your next practice or game.  This workshop is open for players 12 years and over as well as parents and applicable to all sports.

 

Players spend hundreds of hours training and competing and thousands of dollars to improve the physical and tactical elements of the game.  However, a player's performance is often negatively affected by the mental ability of the participant.  This clinic will give you (athlete as well as parents/coaches) tools to become more successful and will help you for the rest of your career.
