HOW DOES IT WORK?

After each game, fill out your reflection log as soon as you can so that the moments are fresh in your mind. After every 5 games, you will answer a few questions based on the patterns you have found so far.

Athletes can utilize 1 on 1 trainings where we will dissect their log to work on improving their mental inconsistencies in a 1 on 1 setting.
