Mental & Physical preparation go hand in hand when it comes to Performance. Listen to this short clip of Michael Jordan describing how he mentally prepares for the big game. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YNRQYT8IQDQ. For those of you who were at the recent Brunch and watched Caitlin McCaltchey winning the Commonealth Games 200m Freestyle title you would see that Mental Toughness is situational ie Caitln is a very tough competitor in the pool....but very different away from that environment. Interesting! Enjoy!
