MENTAL SKILLS AND DRILLS FOR TRACK & FIELD
Athletes put in numerous hours of training to shape the body. You train to become fast, strong and powerful! You train hard, running, jumping or throwing, to be the best you can be. But are you doing everything you can to be the best you can be?
Athletes often train the physical component with a well-planned, systematic program that focuses on the physiological aspects, yet the mental training tools have not been provided and practiced. Mental skills training is often not an important component of training because few athletes and coaches are ever formally exposed to mental skills and drills.
How important is the mental side of athletics? How ironic that both athletes and coaches consider mental skills to be an extremely important part of high performance, but yet do not take the time to learn and develop a systematic program to develop the mental skills.
