Back to School Mental Training :The Essay Writing Playbook

If writing a paragraph feels overwhelming, writing an essay probably feels like climbing a mountain in flip-flops. Welcome to Back-to-School Mental Training in The Mental Weight Room. 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, Coach Antoinette kicks off a new series to build your Academic Mental Gym Bag, with practical tools to get organized, study smarter, manage anxiety, perform under pressure, and recover your brain just like you recover your body. 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.
