Description

Coach Johnny and Dr. L revisit the idea of integration and maximizing player development. We discuss how effort is a choice and that focusing takes effort, how coaches give feedback to enhance the confidence of athletes, and how visualization/imagery is used to enhance training. We also talk about the OPS (Optimal Performance State) and how players can train using the mind (mental skills) and body to achieve their OPS. http://www.playerdevelopment.usta.com/podcasts/?
