Mental Training & Nutrition Seminar


Mental Training is one of the biggest tools a paddler can use to gain an edge over competition and oneself (at times we are the mental block).

How would it feel to:

· Have an edge where you can be immersed in the present so that you are totally unaware of distractions?
· Increase the rate at which your technique improves where you are feeling the catch and grabbing the water powerfully with your blade?
· Compete in the zone more frequently?
· Stop the negative self-talk and have an unstoppable attitude?
· Visualize the movie of that great performance and the movie comes true – you experience that great performance?

The above are just some of the things that mental training can help you with in your paddling adventures.

Please contact Lori Jorgenson or ways to enhance your mental training specific to paddling.
