Mike believes in increasing confidence through competence and communication, building a personal relationship with the athlete, and incorporating #Mindfulness in his coaching programs. It involves training our attention through yoga and meditation. With consistent practice, one can reduce mind-wandering, thus enhancing athletic performance by developing the ability to focus and refocus, worrying less, be more present, reduce anxiety, and increase our ability to respond and react quickly, and most importantly, it can help induce and increase the quality of sleep.
