OVERVIEW
We all lose it. Your emotions can sometimes take control of you because you want it so badly, you’re giving it all you've got, you’re trying everything you possibly can. You can dedicate hours upon hours to honing your physical and technical abilities in your sport. Everything can seem to go so well in training...but just when you need them most...in the cauldron of competition..your skills desert you, you mess up.
You might think that just working harder in training or learning a few mental skills could do the trick..but you would be wrong. We know that there is a chronology in performance which determines how well we execute our talents.
SPORTS OVERVIEW
Emotions run the show in elite performance
Until recently, the role of emotional intelligence in performance had primarily been studied within business. This research has suggested that people with high levels of emotional intelligence typically perform more successfully than those who have less effective ways of dealing with emotions.
At The Mental Muscle Company we have supporting young aspiring athletes, their coaches and parents with this challenge through our coaching, seminars and workshops.
Much support is available when athletes are selected for their national teams or gain professional contracts. Unfortunately many fall by the wayside before that time because that support for the athletes, coaches and parents has not been readily available and the feedback we receive suggests you are keen to learn how to build the skills that constitute Emotional Intelligence.
Our series of Coach, Athlete and Parent Workshops address these skills and provide you with the tools to be the best you can be.
