2021-11-25 Mental Research

What I do know is that I did some internet research last week that confirmed three things.

• Mental training for high-performance athletes is indeed popular around the world. Actually, for athletes at any level of performance.
• Around the world mental training is the focus of intense research.
• Mental training in areas outside of athletic performance is stirring up popular interest. If you search the internet you’ll fine numerous articles, books, and websites about mental training in areas outside of high-performance athletics, like emotional intelligence, resilience, meditation, and spiritual development.

The research I did last week convinced me that mental training is growing in popularity. In all four of the fields mentioned just above there are hundreds of mental training courses to choose from. The important question isn’t whether there were mental training opportunities in these fields. Rather, the question is how you separate the good opportunities from the bad. Which, I guess, is a sign that mental training is growing.
