Athletes often struggle with mindset obstacles, which gets in the way of progress in athletic performance. While athletes typically receive support from coaches dedicated to their physical training, they also require guidance from coaches specialized in cultivating an Olympic-caliber mindset.
The differentiating factor between two athletes of equal talent and ability to succeed primarily lies in their mindset. Those who demonstrate greater resilience can focus their energy entirely on their performance, providing them with a competitive advantage. This particular skill can be improved, which leads to high performance.
In this presentation, we'll explore the mindset challenges faced by athletes, drawing on insights from basketball coach Orlando McCorvey and performance psychologist Dr. Yasemin Gokalp. We'll discuss how coaching strategies can effectively address these challenges. This presentation is designed for life coaches seeking exposure to a new niche in their practice, sports coaches, athletes, and the parents or support systems of athletes.
