Oct 24, 2023 12:00 PM (EST)

Our focus this month is mental performance. It is a critically-important and often-overlooked aspect of the youth soccer experience.

Stu Singer, Founder of WellPerformance, and his colleague Emily Aron, an expert Mental Performance Coach, have generously agreed to join us for our October live webinar, where we will discuss how parents can support mental skills development with their youth soccer players.

Stu is a good friend of the Soccer Parenting movement and an expert in the field of mental skills training for athletes. He completed his Doctor of Psychology coursework at the University of the Rockies specializing in sport and performance psychology, and is a professional member of the Association for Applied Sport Psychology. Additionally, he received his M.Ed. in Counseling from Shippensburg University.

Emily holds a MS in Sports, Exercise, and Performance Psychology from Barry University and recently joined forces with the team at WellPerformance. As of this month, Emily will also be working as the Performance Lifestyle Practitioner for the NBA Academy Latin America.
