This week we welcome on Jesse Welling, Coach with the Lahti Pelicans in the Finnish Liiga to discuss mental coaching and evaluation. Specifically we talk with Jesse Welling about the tool he created as part of his thesis to scout and evaluate the mental qualities of players. We explore the basic requirements for team sport athletes when it comes to mental qualities. We then dive into how the tool came about and how to use the tool and the annual process he goes through with his athletes.
