Let's Go Mental! Everything started reading a quote... "When you reach that elite level, 90% is Mental and 10% is Physical: you are competing against yourself. Not against the other athlete." D. Fosbury (Fosbury was an American high Jumper, one of the most influential of all the time, he transformed the way of jumping.) After the last Netflix serie now we know that Yogi Berra used to say: 'Baseball is 90% mental. the other half is physical.' So...If mental is so important....WHY do we wait so much to talk about it, why waiting till the professionism to talk about? Sometimes very talented kids did not have the chance to arrive at the Elite level because they are mentally weak.. And after reading that quote...my curiosity started working, till I transformed it into a big project and this podcast is part of it! If you are a Sport Parent that has the desire to approach this topic or a Young Athletes that wants to learn something new and important...Tune in!
