Workshop Descriptions

Mental Training: Into the “Zone”

Psychological preparation for competition enables the athlete to translate training into competitive success. The seminar begins with a discussion of the “zone” and the psychological skills that drive high performance. It will include an overview of the five cardinal skills of mental training: (1) Relaxation-activation, (2) Concentration, (3) Imagery, (4) Self-talk, and (5) Performance routines. The seminar culminates with practice of a pre-competition mental training routine, and concludes with discussion of strategies for developing a personalized mental training program.

Goal Setting: Road Map to Success

If sport is a journey, then goal setting charts the path to success. To train and compete successfully, the athlete must avoid the pitfalls and embrace the methods of goal setting. This seminar presents the seven key elements of effective goals setting: (1) Linking performance goals to outcome goals, (2) Setting challenging but realistic goals, (3) Using positive and specific language, (4) Collaborating and personalizing, (5) Integrating short and long term goals, (6) Assessing and adjusting goals, (7) Practicing self-acceptance

Sport has long been regarded as an arena where life lessons are learned and life skills are developed. As it has been refined and tested in competition, sport psychology has come of age, evolving into a psychology of high performance. Its principles and practices are increasingly finding their way into boardrooms and “green” rooms, and into the training of high risk professionals from soldiers to surgeons.
