When it comes to optimizing mental performance, understanding your thought patterns and what you say to yourself is a top priority.
While this sounds like common sense and simple, how difficult is it really, and what are the concrete ways athletes are trained to optimize their thoughts?
This conversation is a slight pivot from many episodes, as Dr. Brad Donohue joins the podcast to discuss a program he helped implement at University of Nevada, Las Vegas, called The Optimum Performance Program in Sports; we’ll refer to it throughout the episode as TOPPS.
This episode gives you insight behind how TOPPS optimizes performance in athletes, with plenty of takeaways you can put into action.
Head to www.toppscience.com to learn more about Dr. Donohue's program.
Enjoy!
