"Team and Individual Goal Setting"

 

 

Karlene Sugarman is a mental training consultant who has worked with athletes from a wide variety of sports. She was an athlete growing up and was inspired by a coach to get involved in mental training as it relates to sports. Her in-depth education and many years of experience as a mental training consultant have helped her to gain valuable insight into the ins and outs of being a leader as well as how to build a team to its greatest potential.

All athletes and coaches, regardless of the sport being played, deal with team and individual goal-setting. Through Sugarman's experiences, she has come to learn a lot about goal-setting and how it can be approached in a way that will prove to be beneficial for the team and for each of the athletes.
