Independent Research Project

From the great Yogi Berra “Sports is 90% mental. The other half is physical.” With my years in NCAA collegiate volleyball, the common thread among the elite athletes I coached or competed against was their mental game. To begin, I wanted to find a baseline of mental skills of female volleyball athletes, so I am pursuing an independent research project title, “Mental Skills Training Comparison of Female Volleyball Athletes at theNCAA DI, DII, DIII, NAIA, and Junior College Levels.”
