Are you a coach, athletic director, sport facility or club director, or a team representative that wants to introduce sport psychology topics and techniques to their team(s)? You’re in the right place.

Garren Loescher, CMPC® leads group work and team workshops for Anna Hennings Mental Performance Coaching. We offer workshops tailored to your team or organization, coach training, and practice plans with integrated mental skills training.

Team engagements take many forms: classroom-style talks, active learning through team-building games, facilitated discussions, on-court integration or a combination thereof. Reach out, and let’s talk about what you want and how we can help.
