Could You Use a Mental Performance Coach?

In sport there are coaches for just about everything. There are head coaches, strength and conditioning coaches, offense and defense coaches and position coaches. The goal of these coaches is to enhance an athlete’s ability to perform. Each coach is specifically trained for their role through experience, certifications, workshops, and education. However, these coaches aren’t trained to manage the mental side of sport. Mental Performance Coaches (MPC) are there to teach athletes the skills not only address an athlete’s mindset but improve it.
