Why Mental Skills are Important

Most Coaches believe that sport is at least 50% mental, with certain sports such as golf, tennis, figure skating, baseball, and Ice hockey rating as high as 80% to 95% mental. Unfortunately few athletes get the opportunity to work on their mental skills.

The truth is...when two athletes of similar physical, tactical, and technical ability are pitted against one another in competition the winner is typically the athlete with better mental skills. Considering this, it is puzzling that 95% of athletes never bother working on the mental side of their game.
