Episode #46 - Developing Mental Toughness in Sports with Chad Hermansen (Former MLB Player)

In this episode I will be discussing the development of mental toughness with young athletes. My guest, former 1st round draft pick, Chad Hermansen weighs in on the topic. Chad has developed a program for young athletes called Mental Edge Training (www.mentaledge.training). You can also find him on YouTube as he interviews and number of coaches and players. We talk about his experiences in the Major leagues and how he dealt with the pressure of being a first round pick and the mental toughness/belief system that caused him some struggles. We discuss the development of young athletes today and of course we touch and the importance of being vulnerable and open when dealing with your performance struggles.
