Mental training is the practice of using sport psychology tools and techniques to strengthen an athlete's mental game.
With mental training for young athletes, the goal is to build a strong foundation of mental skills.
It's very similar to the approach taken to building physical skills.
When a kid takes up a sport, a good coach will evaluate where they are, looking for the strengths they already have and any weaknesses that may be present.
From that initial starting point, they will work on developing the young athlete's physical skills. This is done through drill work and continual focus on mechanics and the fundamentals of their game.
In a similar way, when a young athlete begins with mental training, the mental coach evaluates their current strengths and weaknesses and then moves forward from there.
To train and strengthen the mind, there are specific skills that are focused on.ย
The tools and techniques used within mental training focus on cultivating these specific skills. Because we know that as the skills develop, the young athlete's mindset is strengthened.
