MENTAL TOUGHNESS TRAINING
Mental toughness is a learnable skill composed of several different elements. Mental Toughness Training is a three hour highly intense and highly enjoyable hands-on workshop that teaches members of your organization how to achieve and maintain a competitive edge through the utilization of mental toughness skills. The workshop is available to three distinct sports groups:
1. High school athletes and coaches.
2. Collegiate athletes and coaches.
3. Professional athletes and coaches.

Learning and Maintenance
To ensure total effectiveness, the Mental Toughness Training program is divided into a Learning Phase and a Maintenance Phase.

These optional follow-up sessions are scheduled within two days following the workshop, and then again at specific intervals as determined by the participant and/or group leader.
