Apologies for tooting my own horn, but the reviews and survey results are in from my first two online mental training courses, Prime Ski Racing 101 and Prime Sport 101, and they were very gratifying (while also providing great feedback on how I can continue to improve them). Though they are a work in progress, [...]
