SKILLS

NEW! Strengthen your mental toughness by listening to the Mental Skills Audio Training Library!

Most athletes know that the mental game is crucial to sport performance, but most athletes don't know what mental skills to practice or how to practice them. Check out these training articles. They'll give you information on how to use mental skills to strengthen your confidence, overcome obstacles, sharpen your focus, and stay positive when things go wrong. 

Not sure what mental skills you need the most? Take five minutes to complete the Athlete Inventory of Mental Skills and get a personalized assessment of your specific mental skills strengths and weaknesses.

If you want to build your mental toughness to help you perform at your peak, contact VCU Sport Psychologist Dr. Dana Blackmer at drblackm@vcu.edu, 804-828-8978, or use the Make Appointment page to schedule a confidential consultation.
