Training Your Brain: Developing Mental Fitness - EP 26 w/ SportPsychMDs (Torrey Troggio & Armin Hoes)
As athletes, we spend large portions of our time training our bodies' ability to perform well- our physical fitness- to perfection. But mental fitness can play just as large a role as a well-trained body in athletic success. After all, a good arm is nothing if you freeze up right before the critical moment. What constitutes a mentally fit attitude, especially for student-athletes? In this episode, we dive into this question with psychiatrists Torey Troggio and Armin Hoes of Sports Psych MDs. They discuss some individual components of mental fitness, pass on some sage advice, and even analyze the playing styles of current NBA athletes.
