Dr. Todd Kays has been instrumental in my understanding of the mental aspect of sport. Working with him dramatically improved my ability to prepare and implement a mental training plan for my team. His knowledge and insight has been an assistance on countless occasions, and his guidance in the most difficult situations has been invaluable. My interaction with Dr. Kays has laid a framework which generations of my athletes will benefit from. These are not athletic tools, but life tools which I am often encouraging my athletes, my staff, and myself to implement on and off the water.
