They build themselves from the ground up to withstand any pressure, be able to jump on any opportunity and uncover their full potential – as an athlete and a human.The Resilient Athlete presents a series of self-coaching sessions, much like ones you would have with a performance coach. These are not geared towards one particular sport, but rather focus on creating an ultimate athletic experience – one where physical and emotional states are in balance with purpose. The Resilient Athlete covers all aspects of performance – from building foundational fitness to lifestyle optimization and – none the less – developing an “athlete mindset”.  Inside you’ll find:Strategies to cultivate the winner’s mindset, improve emotional health and wellbeing and grow in self-confidence Systems to adopt a healthy & active lifestyle, reduce mental stress and naturally improve energy levels Training tactics used by professional athletes & coaches to improve athletic performance and break through training & workout plateausActionable tips to incorporate into your daily training to improve mobility, build functional strength and move pain free Resilience is a force that drives someone to push through the hard bits and simply refuse to quit – neither in a race nor in life. It’s that secret sauce allowing an athlete to show up every day, put in the work, progress over the years and do it all with passion. Are you a professional athlete looking to develop mental strength and gain an edge over the competition? A student seeking to cultivate a winner’s mindset to overcome life challenges more effectively? A busy parent trying to get more return from your cardio and strength training?
