  • Managing Mind Chatter: How to work with anxiety in high pressure and high stakes performance situations.
    April 26, 2024
    12:30 am - 2:30 pm

Credits: 2 CEU Credits

High-performers, such as Olympic athletes, CEO’s, and orchestra musicians, succeed at the highest level because of their ability to know where to focus when faced with internal and external distractions. These insights are equally applicable to student high performers. In this workshop, clinical and sport psychologist Dr. Mitchell Greene will discuss how he helps student athletes who struggle because of what he calls “mind chatter”—the voice in a performer’s head that is full of doubt, second-guessing and negative thinking.
