This year Davey Rohrbacher and I create a mental skills program for an 8th grade basketball team. This program incorporated group zoom calls, individual zoom calls, and much of our dialogue with the kids centered around how to use their minds in healthy ways to improve performance. We talked to the kids about gratitude, breathing, leadership, communication, confidence, and much more. On this podcast we discuss our learning from this program. I hope you enjoy!
