We will work together to determine your athlete's individual needs and craft their ability to put attention in the places that will fuel high performance. Being present in the moment and sustaining focus are crucial to performance excellence. Your athlete doesn't lose focus, they just put it somewhere else.
Mental skills training with Mind Right will help your athlete learn how to:
Control focus
Hold focus
Release focus
Bring their focus back when it wanders
An athlete must know when to let focus broaden, when to make it narrow and when to wrangle it into submission because they are distracted. There are many sights, sounds, and sensations that challenge an athlete's focus. Environmental distractions like the elements, field conditions and dynamics of the venue can be difficult to manage. There are also internal things, like anxiety, self doubt, and pain that can pull attention in the wrong direction. As with all sport psychology techniques, focus is individualized to the sport and athlete. Building on your athlete's existing strengths, we will help them craft the ability to focus when and where they need it.
