Research has proven that Peak Performance is the result of proper “physical, nutritional and psychological preparation.” Coaches stress physical training while a sports psychologist develops the mental training to apply the learned skills. There is a difference between prep talks before the games and at half times and structured, continuous psychological preparation.

Sport Psychology is as important as physical training, specifically for those who are competing at higher levels. Mental preparation in sport is a key factor in winning. It has become an increasingly important tool. Better athletes and coaches are taking advantage of this effective method to get to the top and even beyond if that is possible.

Zadeh is one of the experienced, educated coaches who has produced successful athletes by incorporating mental training to become the best.
