Mental and Nutritional Training

The Mental and Nutritional aspects of an athlete’s preparation are regularly underemphasized. You want to be stronger, faster, more athletic and more resistant to injury but athletes don’t provide the body and mind with all the necessary tools to accomplish this.

Mental training can play a large part in an athletes success or lack there of. If nerves cause you to drop the ball or miss the tackle your mind has failed you, not your body. The Build Solid Training System provided sections that enhance the athletes’ ability to address common mentally related issues that come up in the lives of competitors everywhere. To be successful, athletes need to learn how to balance and prioritize being an athlete, student, son or daughter and a leader both on and off the field. Helping an athlete set and achieve goals is also important. Our system helps to provide a framework for success.

Nutritional handouts also come with the program and provide vital information for the athlete on how to properly feed the athletic body. Carbohydrates, protein, and water are a few of the more common nutrients addressed. Also, this is a substantial amount of information on subjects that are underdressed in today’s athletic realm. These include topics such as ephedrine, sleep necessity, hydration and carbo-loading among others. The goal of these nutritional handouts is to allow for more energy, shorter recovery time, and many more beneficial effects for the player.

We feel it is important to provide education on nutrition that an athlete can use without having to ask for it. Again, we want to prepare the athlete for success in as many ways as possible.
