Yohann, is an industry leading provider in Mental Sports Performance, working with numerous collegiate and professional teams and athletes, to develop soft skills and competitive advantage of elite student-athletes!
This will be the start of the clubs relationship with Dr.Mauger. in developing one of the key pillars of an athlete’s skill set and armor! The importance of mental skill training can offer many benefits, to include:
- Easier to learn skills BEFORE bad habits are formed.
- It’s preventative rather than reactive.
- The skills are good for sport and school.
- There doesn’t need to be something wrong – this is about growing new strong skills.
- While mental skill training ISN’T clinical therapy, the skills are great for building mental wellness (preventative).
- The brain is a pattern making machine. It’s better to establish healthy and effective patterns early.
- Regardless of if they ever play in HS, College, or Professionally these skills are applicable for LIFE!
- Staying involved in sports is physically and mentally good for kids – having mental skills that manage emotions of stress and pressure may just be the thing that keeps them involved longer.
