Thinking Beyond the Physical with Elliott Hulse

Training is one of the essential parts of any athlete’s life. It helps them improve their physical abilities and is a great way to relieve stress. However, physical training should not be your only focus as an athlete. You need to think beyond the physical and train your mind as well. We all know that reason is powerful and can help us succeed in anything we put our minds to. To become a better athlete, you need to strengthen your mind just as much as you do your body. This blog post will give you some helpful tips on how to think beyond the physical when it comes to training for your sport.
