What Athletes Can Teach Us About Mental Health

Summary

Learn how practical wisdom to help athletes navigate mental challenges and maintain high performance translates to work place performers and performance.

Strong mental skills are foundational to an athlete's career—regardless of their sport. If you have great physical talent but can't manage your mental game effectively, you won't reach your full potential. And the better you manage your mind, the better you're perceived! In this course, performance psychologist Alex Auerbach, who works with the Toronto Raptors, shares practical wisdom to help athletes navigate their mental challenges and maintain high performance. He discusses how to think about performance and influence it positively. Alex also delves into cultivating presence and routine, connecting to motivation and purpose, understanding your "why,” and dealing with imposter syndrome and failure. He also reveals strategies to maximize your potential and stay present every day. Finally, he shows how your team and environment can affect your performance. This course was created by Morra Aarons-Mele of The Anxious Achiever. We are pleased to offer this insightful discussion in our library.
