Mental training for peak performance

How do athletes get in the zone?

When we think of sports, we think of the physical training it takes to get the body in peak condition. But to win the gold medal, it takes more than fitness. It takes mental strength and focus to get you to the finish line. You don’t have to be an athlete to hone these mental skills. In fact, you can learn and practice them in your everyday life. On this episode, Deloitte chief well-being officer Jen Fisher discusses the importance of mental training for peak performance with U.S. Paralympian Chris Hammer.

Yeah, it is a physical sport, you have to train the physical, but if you don't have that mental component down, it could just ruin everything for you.
