Currently: 5 Weeks into Post-Meet Training
The first Episode of The Peak Mental Performance Podcast is now Live on iTunes! I interviewed Dr. Steve Graef, Counseling & Sport Psychologist for Athletics at The Ohio State University. Steve played on the 2002 National Championship Football Team at OSU as well, and brings great perspective as both a PhD and former Division 1 Athlete. We discussed some great topics, including:
- What is Sports Psychology?
- Common Misconceptions Athletes Have of Psychology/Counseling
- How to Manage Anxiety before Big Competitions
- How to Manage Depression during Down Times (injury, post-meet, etc)
- How all Athletes can Improve Performance through Mental Strategies
Video of each and every episode will be posted soon as well - And the second episode with IFBB Pro and 5x Mr. Olympia Competitor Mark Dugdale will be up this weekend; followed by 1 New Episode per week! Upcoming guests include Vincent Dizenzo, Ben Pollack, and Jim Wendler!
