Our Mental Toughness Bootcamp focuses on increasing the individual performer's self-awareness of mental strengths and areas needing more work. Additionally, participants will learn a variety of mental skills used by elite athletes, businesspeople, performing artists, and adept poker players, such as emotion control and focus.
This month, Performance Enhancment News discusses some techniques you can use to stay in shape, mentally, during the off-season.

You can also listen to the streaming audio on your computer by going to www.730ump.com and clicking on the "On Air Now" link at the upper right corner of the page.
