Sport Psychology, Imagery & Elite Athletes

Many people have the misconception that a one rep max only requires brute strength. Experience has taught me that successfully completing a one rep max is a process that involves precision and focus. I felt that this was an important topic to discuss because many of the athletes I work with often fall prey to just ‘going through the motion’ of a training session, rather than fully immersing themselves into the exercise. I recently wrote an article for Volt Athletics exploring how athletes can use imagery to help enhance their experience and performance during a one rep max. Use the link below and check out the article!

Note To Reader:

If you are an athlete reading this segment of the TRAINING REPORT, hopefully this content was helpful! I put the Training Report together because I felt like many of the discussions on issues such as the Yips/mental blocks, strength training & other subject matter on athlete performance concepts were really missing the mark on these ideas (e.g. how trauma is the direct cause of the Yips). If you are interested in learning more, make sure to subscribe below for when I put out new content on issues related to sport psychology & athlete performance! Also, if you are looking to work with a mental performance specialist, you are in the right place! USE THIS LINK to reach out to me to see if my services are the right fit for your goals!
