The Focused Athlete
It takes more than just technical skills and expertise to be a high performing athlete or coach. It takes being able to identify and understand how your emotions affect your performance. Sarah Kivel, Emotional Intelligence Executive Coach and Founder of eiFOCUS™, interviews elite coaches, athletes and leaders in organizations, to learn how they use their emotions to help them succeed in their sport (and in their life). Each episode contains tools on how you can learn to become more focused and present so that you can begin to let your emotions work for you instead of against you.
