What is Mental Toughness and Why Do We Need It?
Mental Toughness is the ability to perform at peak levels regardless of the circumstances and conditions. Research shows that successful people in athletics, entertainment, business, the arts, and personal relationships all have one thing in common - deliberate and practiced mental toughness. Talent and good fortune are not the determining factors for success. Rather, a positive attitude and the ability to stay in control of oneself and handle adversity are essential characteristics of successful, fulfilled people.
Learn How To Use Daily Mental Toughness Techniques
Personal Best’s expert instructors will teach participants proven mental toughness techniques that will give you the best chance for peak performance at school, at work, at home, and on the playing fields. Thus Personal Best will help participants develop positive and healthy life skills. Participants in our program will learn the same mental toughness techniques employed by US Olympians, top college and professional athletes, successful performers in music and the arts, and prominent businessmen/women. Each course member will be an active participant in every session, as instructors will use live demonstration and videotape to enhance learning. Participants are guaranteed to enjoy the upbeat atmosphere and positive energy created by the instructors.
