Every day
our fitness center is busy with students trying to get bigger and
stronger. They are working to improve their body and their physical
strength. This is great to see but there is another important component that
often goes overlooked…..THE MIND. Sports Psychology is something that
virtually every college and professional team takes very seriously and we want
to give our students a chance to take advantage of the important resources that
are associated with sports psychology.
Our group will cover topics including positive mental
imagery, visualization, anxiety, depression, Self Talk, Energy Management,
happiness, Communication and more. Students who attend our sessions will
have opportunities to grow in each of these areas through our group meetings
and individual attention from our counselors and coaches. Any student at
Whitman-Hanson, whether you play a school sport or not, is welcome to attend.
Our first meeting will be held on the late start day on
Thursday October 11th at 7:05am. We will meet in the courtyard
café and we will be serving breakfast. If you would like to attend,
please click on this link https://fs17.formsite.com/WHathletics/form63/index.html
to register (so we know how much to order for breakfast).
If you have a chance, please take a few minutes to watch
this video about Kevin Love, an NBA player who has struggled with these topics.

This will be a great group for you and your teammates to
grow as players and as people. Hope to see you and your teammates there!
Coach Rodgers, Ms. Schait, Ms. Robichaud Ms. Desista
