WSH146 - Craig Sigl on Mental Toughness
Craig Siglis currently a mental trainer who works with coaches, athletes, performers, and those who want to use mental toughness for their personal lives. He also trains people how to hypnotically work with athletes and performers.
Craig Sigl is a former Fortune 500 manager and was an undersized athlete all his life. Surprised by the effectiveness of something he was taught about playing golf, Craig eventually created a course called Break 80 Without Practice.
Craig joins me on today’s episode to share the systems he developed and techniques he uses to train his students to have mental toughness. He talks about actual training processes, nuances you need to know regarding working with an individual versus working with a team, as well as the most effective strategies and the mental blocks you need to be aware of when working on a specific sport.
