Coach and Athlete Mental Health and Performance

Description

All coaches and athletes (and sport parents!) benefit from learning what makes a brain fulfill its potential, and what blocks it from success. Jennifer spent the last 10 years reading and applying research into why some brains achieve at the top of their game while others appear to collapse. She studied what doctors, psychologists, psychiatrists, neuroscientists and neurobiologists know about brain power: what ignites and grows it versus what extinguishes and erodes it. Sports is a mental game and understanding how brains work gives athletes and coaches a competitive edge. These insights are especially important for adolescent athletes (13 to 25).In her 2022 book, The Bullied Brain: Heal Your Scars and Restore Your Health, Jennifer shares the research in readable, practical, and applicable ways. One of the world's most highly-awarded neuroscientists, Dr. Michael Merzenich says The Bullied Brain is "THE most completely scientifically thorough treatment of the subject on planet earth."
