Top Mental Game strengthens mental preparedness of Seton Hall athletes

The mental side of sports has always been a subject of debate in terms of its value and legitimacy. Some shrug it off as a poor excuse for bad performances or lack of talent while others claim it to potentially be the most important aspect of modern sports.

Dr. Bryan Price falls into the latter group. A former Division I baseball player and coach at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, Price has dealt with the pressures of being a top collegiate athlete and on a team that constantly fought to win titles. West Point’s performance psychology program gave him his first insight into the world of sport psychology as they used it to develop their cadets’ ability to perform under intense pressure.
