MENTAL CONDITIONING:
WINNING & LOSING EFFECTS:
I simply want you to be able to know where your excellence zone is, and to keep it. All athletes need to understand the importance between mind and body. All athletes make mistakes (we call decisions), good or bad. These are usually mental errors, and they may have a costly effect upon the outcome of a game or competition!
