Your Inner Athlete: Mental Toughness, Riffs On The Theme

Your Inner Athlete: Mental Toughness, Riffs On The Theme

We first met Dr. Haley Perlus at the Telluride WOW Festival. We asked if she would share her pearls with our readers. Haley’s advice tends to apply equally to sports and to life in general.

This week, the sport and exercise psychology expert talks about Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather and the ways both winner and loser exhibited mental toughness in their boxing match. And how modeling that behavior could work for you too, in and out of your “ring.”

We attended Haley’s first WOW lecture about the psychology behind good nutrition and overall health. The holistic contents turned out to be a back door to ways to live a healthy life in general. We were all left wanting more from this buff, blonde brainiac, so Telluride Inside… and Out invited Haley to blog on our site. Lucky for us, Haley agreed.
