Really it comes down to your philosophy. Do you want to play it safe and be good or do you want to take a chance and be great?

GOAL DEVELOPMENT WORKSHOPS TO CHANGE AND CREATE THE ULTIMATE PERFORMANCE (Set of three workshops)
Goal setting focuses an athlete/performer on improving their mental and physical abilities. It’s a technique that athletes/performers develop in training. Goal setting allows the individual to influence their performance regardless of age or ability level. Goals are essential to assisting athletes/performers in achieving their desired physical and mental performances.
These workshops will help athletes/performers develop a physical or mental goal, depending on the chosen workshop focus. The first workshop focuses on developing the goal. The second workshop focuses on keeping track of the goal. The third workshop focuses on follow-up and seeing how well the goal is being tracked, met and maintained.
IMAGERY...IMAGERY....IMAGERY - CAN THE MIND TELL THE DIFFERENCE?
If a performer can’t imagine themselves effectively performing their particular performance, then how can their body execute it? The mind tells the body what to do. Research indicates that when individuals engage in vivid imagery, their brains interpret these images as being identical to the actual performance of the event. This is what makes imagery so powerful.
Imagery is a mental technique that programs the mind and body to respond optimally. Using imagery as a mental training tool allows performers to see and believe, which gives them the confidence and focus to perform successfully.
In this workshop, the participants will learn about imagery and receive powerful tips to perform imagery. They will be led through a guided imagery session that they can continuously use to enhance their performance.
