Mental Performance

This class teaches coaches and swimmers how to harness the power of the mind 🧠💪 to improve athletic performance, focusing on practical techniques that can provide that crucial "half-second advantage" ⏱️ in competition. 

This course is free, or you can make a donation of up to $5 💵. If you wish to pay nothing, simply enter zero in the payment and proceed to the course. 

This class was initially given in two webinars for the ASCA (American Swimming Coaches Association) 🏊‍♂️. You can find both videos on their YouTube platform! 📺

The second video has not been edited yet in this course. If more than ten people are interested in registering for this course, I will upload the second class with exercises and explanations. This means that if you invite more people, there is a possibility that the course will expand to the second video.

Learning Objectives:
