We’ve all seen the athlete who has an outburst during performance or the athlete who has what many term a mental breakdown while they are performing in sports.
For the outsider, the athlete is unstable and not in control of their emotions.
For the insiders, they understand how difficult it is to be an athlete and what goes into performance in sports.
So its totally ok for you as a young athlete to pray everyday not to have an emotional breakdown, not to have outbursts and to be totally in control of your emotions.
That’s where my guest on the podcast today comes in.
Dr. Jarrod Spencer is a Sports Psychologist with a focus on emotional health. The emotional side of sports.
He is also the author of the book, Mind Of The Athlete as well as other resources designed to help athletes perform to the best of their abilities. This is why many talented young athletes often find out later in their careers that there’s more to succeeding in sports than just having the talent.
In this episode, you’ll learn the tools that Dr. Jarrod uses in coaching athletes and what he advices them to do the most when it comes to optimizing their performance.
