For years, coaches, parents and athletes have focused on practice and competition to improve athletic performance. They engage in repetitive drills, review countless films and spend an exorbitant amount of money on private lessons. Yet when you ask coaches how much of an athlete’s performance is mental versus physical, they typically say it’s 50% to 90% mental. If that’s the case, why are athletes spending 99% of their time and energy on the physical game?
