This collection of focus sessions, developed from the extensive work with the national championship-winning NAU Track and Field team and the Hoka One One NAZ Elite team, was born out of a desire to help athletes strengthen their ability to focus by introducing meditation and visualization exercises in a brief and engaging way. The sessions present a wide variety of strategies so that athletes can select the strategies that apply best to them as individuals and develop a more personalized practice over time.
We consider the performance sessions to be a collection rather than a curriculum as, eventually, the order of the sessions can be interchanged to suit each athlete and team. That said, as athletes first begin to work their way through the collection, we recommend that you follow them in order as each session does build on the last and there are factors influencing the order with which they are presented to teams for maximum effectiveness.
