As more and more athletes, parents, and coaches pursue the elusive dream of ‘making it’ (whatever that means to them), there has been a proportionate rise in the number of mental training guides and programs for sale online. IS mental training something that can be LEARNED or improved upon from a book/program, or does it matter what the genetic make-up of the reader or watcher is? Listen in or watch as the guys discuss:
What people hope to get from mental training?
Why it’s especially popular with this generation & in this day & age
Whether teaching mental training or mental toughness is even possible
The positives & negatives of enlisting in mental training programs
Is the fact that we protect our kids too much part of the ‘metal strength crisis’?
Of course, the guys come to a consensus, draw pertinent and thought-provoking conclusions, and provide some solid and practical takeaways…and - as always - share a few laughs along the way.
