Mindfulness not Mindlessness.
Mike Margolies wasn’t always an expert in mental toughness. Growing up, he viewed himself as a “failed athlete”. He bounced from sport to sport because he lacked the self confidence necessary to stick it out and push past failures. As life went on, Mike realized there had to be a better way to coaching. He took up a masters degree in sports science and psychology and for over three decades, has taught athletes that mental toughness is nothing more than a skill to be learned. Mike has taught at four Universities and completed research at the United States Olympic Training Center. He speaks about Mental Toughness training, Emotional Intelligence, the Use of Imagery and why you need to train mentally to be successful in life. He now works with athletes and business professional exclusively through Mental Training Inc. in Dallas Texas. He studied under or mentored by some of the most prominent names in sport psychology, including Bruce Ogilvie, Ken Ravizza, and Bob Rotella.
