Guide Review - The Mental Game of Cheerleading Training for Competitions by Pamela Enders, PhD.
I was totally impressed with this 2-CD program which provides you "with everything you need to break through barriers, immediately improve concentration, eliminate distractions, and transform your performance." Written and presented by Pamela Enders, PhD., a peak performance psychologist on the faculty of Harvard Medical School, these CDs help you learn to make your body do what you want it to do, relieve tension, reach your potential and break through fears and negative thinking. Keeping in mind that some say 50-90% of success in high level sports is attributed to mental factors, the importance of winning the mental game in cheerleading can not be stressed enough. Whether you're a coach or a cheerleader, I strongly believe this program will help you reach your peak performance level. Available either as an instant download (MP3) or as a mailed CD program, "The Mental Game of Cheerleading: Training for Competitions" is an investment in yourself.
