Workshop Questions
All student-athletes are welcome but this workshop is best suited for student-athletes ages 13-19 who are looking to build their confidence skills to win in sports and life.
Applicable to all sports!
This workshop consists of two main parts: 1) a 15-minute, interactive lesson led by an IMG Academy+ Coach, and 2) a 10-minute Q&A. Beyond that, you can also spend time in the Mental Performance Community and browsing through downloadable resources.
You can start and come back to the workshop lesson, Q&A, and activities whenever you’d like. This workshop is designed to fit into your schedule, so make sure to go at your own pace!
Working on specific aspects of your mental performance, such as confidence and focus, will help improve your overall mental game. We recommend taking additional Mental Performance courses & workshops as they get added to build on what you’ve learned thus far. Explore Mental Performance courses and workshops here.
If you’re looking to go deeper, and get coaching that is more specific to you, consider getting a Mental Performance Coach. With private coaching, you’ll get to meet one-on-one with your expert IMG Academy+ Mental Performance Coach who will tailor an action plan specific to your goals and needs. Learn more about IMG Academy+ Mental Performance Coaching here.
In the workshop community, you can interact with other student-athletes and your expert coach in real time.
However, the workshop themselves are not live. We know student-athletes are always stretched for time, so we want to ensure that every person can learn at their own pace and on their own schedule.
We’ve designed our workshop with multiple learning styles in mind. Whether you learn best by watching videos, interacting with peers and course instructors, engaging in activities, self-reflecting or listening to audio, we’ve got you covered.
For a learning experience that spends more time diving deeper into a broader topic like Confidence or Nutrition, try one of our courses!
