Jess Whitlock was hired to improve the culture and mindset at Pine Lake High School. Too often, teams and individuals would start strong, then fall apart when adversity or the pressure of the playoffs hit. Coach Whitlock, and her father, plan to use their experience as former Olympic bobsledders to bring fresh energy to the summer strength program. The new “Push the Sled” approach will include weighted sled workouts which are proven to help athletes in all sports get stronger.

A strong physical game is not enough. It also takes a strong mental game to compete. Unfortunately, the specifics on how to develop a strong mental game are rarely addressed.

By applying 7 Tactical Skills and practicing 12 Mental Drills, athletes at all levels would view adversity as their advantage and see pressure as a privilege.
