Back to School Mental Training: Getting Organized

What if one of the best ways to become a better athlete this school year has nothing to do with what you’re doing on the field, track, or in the gym? What if it starts with your schoolwork? Your academic habits can tell a coach something about your discipline, responsibility, time management, and ability to handle competing demands. Student-athletes compete on two playing fields, their sport and their classroom, and just like you wouldn’t walk into a game without a game plan, you shouldn’t walk into a school year without a mental performance plan. In this episode of the Back-to-School Mental Training series, Coach Antoinette shares practical tools for getting organized as part of your Academic Mental Gym Bag, because being a mentally strong athlete isn’t just about what happens between the lines. It’s also about how you train your brain when you’re sitting at your desk.

The Mental Weight Room is also available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts or wherever you stream your podcasts.
