Training skills for TODAY
Cultivating well-being for a LIFETIME
Why mental fitness training?
Improve your athlete’s optimal performance.
Increase your athlete’s resiliency.
Develop your athlete’s ability to step into stressful situations.
Athlete’s experiences, at all levels, are influenced by physical and psychological stress. Generally, development plans focus on increasing tactical skills and physical fitness but lack intentionality in the development of Athlete’s mental fitness.
Mental fitness training focuses on skill development in the following areas:
focus regulation
emotional regulation
self-talk
goal setting
skill integration into daily life
As the demands on coaches, parents and organizers grow, metal fitness training often takes a back seat to other priorities.
Thrive Sport Project’s Anchored Performance program presents athletes with mental fitness skills to support their well-being on and off the field. Each athlete will complete the program gaining insight into the various elements of mental fitness, learn practical tools that they can implement TODAY.
“I have worked alongside Blake in delivering the important and powerful message of connection in sport. Blake brings a unique perspective of the critical importance of mental health both on and off the field. His professional sport experience combined with his easy going and knowledgeable presentation style makes him a phenomenal asset to any team looking to take their game to the next level.”
