Even if an athlete knows what to do, there is a common misconception that mental training can be done now and then. 

Or, “I’ll fit it in when it suits me”. 

Let’s contrast this with physical or technical training which gets diligently scheduled into the calendar... weeks or months in advance. 

If you don't make mental training a priority in your calendar, it won't get done.

And yip, you guessed it…

Mental training isn’t more difficult than physical training. 

It’s just different. 

But most athletes are very achievement orientated. They want to be good at things and they want to be good at them right away. 

So this is what happens:

An athlete acquires the necessary knowledge and comes up with a pretty good plan of action. 

But when things don’t improve as quickly as they would like them to, they give up altogether. 

Without staying power, even the best-laid plans will yield disappointing results.

If you believe that your mental strength needs to be developed and you're sick of doing nothing about it... 

You are at the right place!
