Description
UNLEARN & RELEARN: Programming the Athlete’s Mind! Elite athletes don't just jump higher and run faster – they think differently, too. Athletic performance does not only benefit from a thinking mind, as the mind also benefits from sports. Mental toughness, focus, and anticipation are just a few mental strategies that the mind develops when playing sports. Sports also enhance specific regions of the brain and cause structural changes. Athletes have sharpened their minds to pay attention to the little details to better their game. The skills learned through sports benefit athletes throughout life and in the workforce. It’s Episode 118 on HT and you don’t want to miss an exciting and information-packed lineup with Sports Family Therapist Dr. Lauren Pitts and Co-Host/former Scholar-Athlete and Mental Health Counselor, Ronnie Ransome, Jr. and special guest, LCSW & Cognitive Specialist, Daniel Brooks.
