'Balancing It All': A Mental Performance Camp For Athletes
July 18-20th
|
|
Student athletes have a lot on their plates, from sports practices and games to academic responsibilities to their social lives. Balancing all of these demands can be a challenge and create stress and anxiety that has a negative effect on performance. Without time spent learning how to cope with these demands in a healthy way, athletes are more susceptible to lower levels of confidence and joy, along with increased experiences of high pressure, perfectionism, anger, and worry. That’s where this camp comes in!
Join us this July for a 3-day mental performance clinic for athletes of all sports. Facilitated by Audrey Grunst, LCSW & Eric Stevenson, LPC this clinic will provide athletes with skills and tools to focus on their mental health and increase confidence and self-esteem both on and off the court/field.
Through this camp, athletes will:
🎯 Learn effective time management skills
🎯 Gain strategies for settling nerves
🎯 Increase confidence and self-esteem (both on and off the field/court)
🎯 Develop boundaries to keep a balanced student-athlete identity
Workshop Details:
- When: July 18th-20th
- Ages 14-17: 10AM-12PM
- Ages 11-13: 1PM-3PM
- Where: Simply Bee Office | 977 Lakeview Pkwy, Suite 100, Vernon Hills, IL 60061
- Cost: $75/Person
Space is limited - sign up today!
