The Show
Increasing mental performance is not just for the elite athlete--age groupers of any level can benefit greatly by harnessing the power of their mind. Conversely, they can suffer ill effects when certain parts of their brain use fear, anxiety, and poor self-image to sabotage their efforts.
Simon and Lesley talk about some of their unique approaches, formed from plenty of formal education and research, and tested by the mentally demanding lifestyle of a professional athlete. Some topics include:
- "Textbook" approaches to mental performance that may not work as advertised The importance of developing a mature athletic identity The use of an "Alter Ego" to help athletes "fake it 'til they make it" Why "Motivation Monday" social media posts are really not that motivational (and sometimes just plain suck) How social media and comparing yourself to someone's idealized "presentation" can be very harmful to your self-image Using triggers, rituals and rewards to create new positive habits
