What’s it all about?
Ever wanted to know what sets apart the high performers from the rest? This class provides a snapshot into the mind of high performers and what they do differently, regardless of their sporting speciality.
Take away the latest sport psychology ideas and strategies and apply them to your own life. Learn how to shift from goal setting to goal getting. Identify what you can control or influence in high performance settings. Whether you are a performer, coach or curious novice you will get something helpful from this class.
What will we cover?
At the end of the class, people will walk away with an understanding of the specific differences of high performers, no matter their speciality. In addition, they will learn skills they can take away and apply to their own performance specialty.
Some skills and concepts discussed are not new (goal setting) as such, but we will learn new skills to maximise them (goal getting). Other skills and concepts are new, such as learning what we are specifically in control of, what we are not in control of, and what we can influence in high performance environments.
