In the first part of the course, the focus of instructors Bob Wilkie and Shawn O’Grady will set the stage for the students.
An athlete’s mental and emotional development is vital to walking a successful path. Many new experiences will be encountered. This can develop unhealthy patterns of behavior.

Sports Psych 2
Part two of the course is where we shift the focus of character development to the importance of balance and perspective.
Any aspiring athlete needs to develop the ability to manage stress and pressure. This becomes possible when they have an awareness of themselves and their surroundings.
This process begins the development of belief in themselves and their abilities and grows the confidence to face and overcome the mental and emotional challenges they will encounter.
