Strong mental skills are foundational to an athlete’s career—regardless of their sport. If you have great physical talent but can’t manage your mental game effectively, you won’t reach your full potential. And the better you manage your mind, the better you’re perceived! In this course, performance psychologist Alex Auerbach, who works with the Toronto Raptors, shares practical wisdom to help athletes navigate their mental challenges and maintain high performance. He discusses how to think about performance and influence it positively. Alex also delves into cultivating presence and routine, connecting to motivation and purpose, understanding your “why,” and dealing with imposter syndrome and failure. He also reveals strategies to maximize your potential and stay present every day. Finally, he shows how your team and environment can affect your performance.
