Mental Performance
BARWIS Mental Performance focuses on establishing a champion’s mindset through intention, discipline, focus, and overcoming adversity. None of this is possible unless you know who you are and what you stand for. This foundational component of the mental skills program will encourage each athlete to train with purpose to maximize their potential every day.
Up to 90% of sport is mental, but training the brain to respond optimally with a healthy mindset, is often overlooked. It is rarely the physical component of sports that deters an athlete from performing to their potential. Their mental approach to the game will determine an athlete’s success and ability to perform consistently at any level. Understanding and developing the performance indicators within our control—attitude, effort, focus and response—will aid in decreasing doubt, fear, and anxiety so they can play the game with passion.
