Why “Mental mechanics?”
Many people focus on the technical, tactical and physical mechanics of their performance. While those are very important, the mental side is often overlooked. If your Mental Mechanics are not operating at their highest, it is hard to perform at your best on a consistent basis. This is why we want to help you engineer your mind for peak performance.
To engineer is a term that encompasses individuals who design, build and maintain a process or system. That is what we aim to do here at The Mental Mechanics. It is a collaborative effort to design mental tools for your skills set, build the mechanics so it becomes natural or even automatic, and maintain the techniques for every performance, no matter the circumstances.
