As the world witnessed with Simone Biles’s jaw-dropping exit, athletes are plagued with a lot of pressure. Without the right mindset, they simply cannot perform their best.|

Professional athletes in all sports need to be equipped with a secret weapon to compete in such high-pressure environments: mindfulness. It’s the key to staying calm and collected when performing, competing, or simply powering through a workout.

Want to learn this game-changing life hack and get into the same mindset as the world’s top athletes? Check out these sports performance courses, taught by Coach Christian Straka, a former tennis pro-turned mindfulness coach. In just three courses, he’ll teach you how to tap into a mindfulness practice that can help you train for any sport.

You’ll kick things off with the bronze-level course and work your way up to gold. The bronze course will introduce you to the three C’s: concentration, clarity, and coolness. You’ll continue to focus on these concepts as you climb your way up the ladder. Once you’ve formed the core of your mindfulness practice, you can train for the silver, which teaches science-backed mindset skills that help you address performance challenges. You’ll build on what you learned in the bronze course and focus on emotional body sensations, body scanning techniques, and "Feel Space".

Finally, you’ll complete your education with the gold-level course, which teaches you how to address pain and self-doubt, and master laser-like focus as you compete. It’s no easy feat, of course, but understanding the mindset you should strive for can help you unlock a deeper fulfillment in sports and even simple workouts. 

Ready to tap into a better headspace? Enroll in the courses for just $14.99 ($413 value) for a limited time.
