Coaching Mind and Body

from Sports Thoughts Hosted by Wayne Goldsmith

It never ceases to amaze me that we spend most of our time as coaches writing workouts, practices and training sessions from a purely physiological perspective, i.e. we program around the physiological “big three” - volume, intensity and frequency. Yet - as far as I know - every human being on this planet has a “neck” - i.e. that every athlete you coach has a head connected to their body. That means, for every athlete you coach, there needs to be a physical / physiological element AND a mental / emotional element. This is a subscriber only video on the top of how to integrate mental skills like relaxation, focus and mindfulness into your workouts and training sessions.
