This week's American Swimming Coaches Association talk comes from Dr. Megan Neyer. Dr. Neyer has worked with executives, coaches and elite athletes for 20 years at organizations such as Coca Cola and the United States Olympic Training Center.
Understanding and applying mental training techniques to young athletes is crucial for their overall development and performance in sports. Finding the right balance in teaching methods, providing positive reinforcement. And addressing any anxiety issues can help children develop their mental skills while reducing the possibility of burnouts or quitting.
Dr. Neyer received her undergraduate and doctorate degrees with emphases in performance and health psychology from the University of Florida. And, is a licensed and nationally certified counselor, certified NET practitioner, certified health coach and neurofeedback practitioner. She is a former world-class competitive diver whose accomplishments include being an Olympian on 3 and 10-meter, a World Springboard Champion, 15-time US Diving National Champion, 8-time SEC and NCAA champion, and multi-time international champion.
