Train your brain at the Gleason YMCA Aug. 17

As student-athletes begin their seasons, they need to work on their brawns and their brains. 

The Gleason Family YMCA aims to help with the latter during an event titled, “Back to School Sports: The Importance of Preparing Mentally for Your Season,” on Monday, Aug. 17 from 5:30 to 7 p.m.

Attendees will hear speeches about improving teamwork, overcoming performance anxiety and other skills. The three speakers at the event will be mental skills coach Jacob Szulak, therapist and mental performance coach Olivia Papakyrikos and mental health consultant and therapist Christine A. Mosher.

Registration for the event is free. You can sign up through Eventbrite.
