Who is the Educated Athlete?

The Educated Athlete is the competitor that knows what their thoughts and emotions do to their performance. Understanding cognitive behavior leads to a focus on mental preparation as a prerequisite to physical preparation.

Most athletes prepare for only the physical exertion and tactical requirements of their sport. They know the moves or plays and endured the physical training to execute. This works well but leaves much to chance. It takes for granted motivation, resiliency, and efficacy of the athlete or team.

So often in sports the underdog wins. The weaker, less talented athlete or athletes overcome. On paper, it makes no sense. However, understanding the mental state elucidates the final results. That is where success or defeat lies.
