October 01, 2021 • Diana Stephens & Stephanie Malley with guest Jay Thooft • Episode 59

Today we discuss mental performance training with Jay Thooft. Jay is a mental performance expert from Denver, Colorado. He is the owner of PERC (Performance Excellence and Recovery Consulting) and also has an active YouTube channel - Train with PERC.

Jay discusses 4 important aspects of youth training, including the often-overlooked mental aspect, and offers a telltale sign that an athlete could benefit from mental/performance training. He also talks about how parents can help foster confidence in young athletes.

We also discuss the oh-so-important car ride home, and the difference between superstitions and routines in the mental aspect of baseball.
