THE ART OF MENTAL TRAINING
The main quote on the home page of our Website is:
"Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit."
This quote isn't just about the physical aspect of the sport but it is also about the MINDSET an athlete has when they are playing the sport.
At Athletes Lab Performance Center we believe one the most important aspects of athletic training is mental training. "If you lose the mental game, you lose the real game." That is a very true statement but it is much easier said than done. We want to help our athletes not only be able to recite what they should know but more importantly we want them to LIVE IT. At the end of the day Teddy Roosevelt said it best:

- "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."
