Leading Sports Psychologist to Speak in Concord
Dr. Alan Goldberg, a nationally-recognized expert in the field of applied sports psychology, will be appearing in Concord on Sunday, September 23, 2007 for two presentations. The talks, aimed at coaches, athletes as well as parents, will focus on mental toughness strategies for helping individuals and teams achieve their maximum potential.

The first talk, "Racing Your Fastest When it Counts the Most - Mental Toughness for Peak Performance," is geared to swimmers, triathletes and participants in other endurance sports, and will begin at 1:00 pm (doors open at 12:30 pm).

The second, "Developing Mental Toughness,"would be appropriate for athletes in any sport, particularly team sports, and begins at 3:00 pm (doors open at 2:30 pm).

Each talk will last an hour and will be followed by a question-and-answer session.

The event will take place at the Concord-Carlisle High School auditorium at 495 Walden Street, Concord, MA. Admission for the event is $10 per person per session. No advance purchase is available, but teams may request to reserve a block of seats.

This event is a part of our fundraising effort to raise fund to purchase an electronic timing system for the home pool of the CCHS Swimming and Diving Team at Concord's Beede Center.

Dr. Goldberg specializes in helping athletes overcome fears & blocks, snap out of slumps, and perform to their potential. He is recognized for his ability to take the subjects of sports psychology and peak performance and present them in a humorous, practical and easy-to-understand manner.

He is a regular and popular presenter at coaches' clinics, colleges, and high schools across the country, and a frequent speaker at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs.

Dr. Goldberg was recently featured in a front-page article of the August 5 New York Times.
