Welcome to PMU’s Free Mental Performance Training Curriculum for Coaches & Teams

Run the Playbook to build your team’s mental game — one week at a time, in 6 easy steps.

  • Step 1: Pick a Play.

    Choose a Play (article) from the PMU Playbook that fits what your team needs this week — focus before a big game, confidence after a rough loss, handling pressure in the playoffs, etc.

    Step 2: Share it Sunday night.

    Send the link to your team. Just a 2-minute read — with real tools they can start using right away.

    Step 3: Talk it out at practice.

    Budget the first 5-10 minutes of the next practice for a team MPT huddle — what they learned from the Play and ONE THING they’re going to try over the next week.

    Step 4: Put it into action.

    During that week's practices and games, challenge players to practice and implement their ONE THING.

  • Step 5: Check in and repeat.

    At the end of the week, talk about what worked and how. Then pick your next Play and start again.

  • Step 6. Continue the dialogue.

    Make your team’s new MPT skills and tools part of their daily reality. Remind players to use them during key moments, and create space to build them proactively, such as taking a few minutes before every game or practice for visualization, pre-game rituals, and breathing techniques.
