During the first week of Preseason, Sports and Performance Coach Shelly Wolfson, Ph.D.,  visited Rye Country Day school to speak to fall varsity student-athletes about the power of the mind. Dr. Wolfson discussed various mental health skills and provided best practices preparing for game days, practices, and off-the-field activities. As part of her presentation, she also provided strategies to optimize performance on and off the field such as focus, anxiety and willpower control, confidence, and trust.

She is also a Mental Game Coaching Professional, as well as a Level I Triathlon Coach and Certified Spin Instructor. A lifelong athlete who does triathlon, bike racing and crossfit, Dr. Wolfson works with people to train their mind to compete at the highest level. 

Thank you, Dr. Wolfson, for this informative session!
