🎶Let’s hear it for band members! 🎶
Found this little piece of paper on the track this morning. Look at the detail for this clarinet player and what they have to do (besides play the instrument!) for what I’m assuming is a halftime football game performance. They have to practice, have confidence, focus, get nervous and more ... just like athletes.
Thank you bands that provide great music and entertainment for us!

Camarillo and Ventura friends: This summer I've done a few 90-minute mental game coaching workshops for athletes who will be starting high school. I'd like to offer another one before the school year gets underway.
Some of the topics will include:
*transitioning to high school sports
*balancing school/sports/social life
*pre-game readiness
*confidence
*focus
*dealing with adversity
Text/call me if you have an athlete, team, or know someone who may benefit from this. Julie ~ (805) 660-8996

Congratulations to Mikaela Hunter, a gymnast I’ve had the pleasure of working with sign her letter of intent to Azusa Pacific University today. It was fun to see her sign the little cougar stuffed animals for the young gymnasts that lined up —a role model and inspiration for the young athletes!
