In today’s society, many young athletes look up to professional athletes in various sports. They admire them for their physical attributes and are amazed by their ability to push the limits of the human body. They also revere professionals who possess superior motor skills and must perform under intense pressure such as doctors, first responders, law enforcement officers, military personnel, and many others. 

However, what most people don't realize is that these individuals were not born with the physical prowess and mental resilience they later display in life. There is a significant amount of preparation that goes into performing at that level, and success almost always depends on both physical and mental toughness.

West-Mont United Soccer Association is proud to have established partnerships with BodyMetrix Nutrition and Dr. Rachel Hoeft to provide our young athletes with information on Mental Performance and Body Wellness.  With these resources, we will be able to provide parents and players with helpful information and tips that will address many of these areas of sports performance.  You can find links to this information below.
