Product details

Many of us have realised that to do well in sport we don’t just need fitness and skills. We need the right mindset. We need to be able to keep on top of our anxiety in the build up to competition and develop emotional control for when something goes wrong when in the event. We need confidence, a positive mindset and to see any event as an exciting challenge, rather than a daunting threat. We need to upskill our brains.

It is a completely new concept incorporating 13 sport psychology techniques and activities in one box (scroll down for details). Every activity included has been chosen by Chartered Sport Psychologist Dr Josephine Perry as it is one of the effective mindset techniques she uses on a daily basis working with both amateur and elite athletes. Sarah Dudgeon has bought her athletic and artistic skills to the box to make the techniques easy to use and fun to work with.
