Gunning Mental Performance

Step into the world of Thrivers and Divers - characters designed to make sport psychology engaging and interactive for youth athletes.

Thrivers and Divers: Sport Psychology Interventions with Youth AthletesThrivers and Divers were created by Gunning Mental Performance to be an interactive and engaging way to help athletes explore their thoughts, feelings and emoitions in relation to sporting performance.Thrivers are designed to represent the positive emotions (e.g. Excited Cyclops), thoughts (e.g. Control Cactus) and behaviours (e.g. Adaptable Adventure) that an athlete may be able to use to increase their wellbeing or performance. These are the things that we want to do more of and leave us feeling satisfied and fulfilled at the end of a training session or competition.Meanwhile the Divers are designed to reflect the negative emotions (e.g. Frustrated Phantom), thoughts (e.g. Overthinking Oracle) and behaviours (e.g. Isolated Imp) that cause a decrease to well being or performance. These are the factors that we may feel are holding us back and that we want to dispute, accept or replace.This webinar provides an overview of the Thrivers and Divers, their potential uses in sport psychology and recommendations for use in applied practice with applications across a range of practice philosophies.Session Includes:<ul><li>An overview of the Thriver and Divers concept</li><li>Recommendations for use in applied practice</li></ul>
