MAUREEN NEIHART Teaching the Inner Game of High Achievement What do coaches, trainers, athletes, and musicians know about talent development that most educators ignore? They know that making the transition from ability to achievement takes more than talent and hard work. It requires psychological readiness —mental and emotional competencies that drive performance. They know that these skills are not innate, but can be cultivated and shaped. To help talented young people negotiate the sometimes grueling terrain of talent development, we need to provide them with more than academic skills. We need to equip them with psychological tools they can draw on when the going gets tough. This hands-on workshop will describe seven mental competencies that drive performance and demonstrate practical strategies for developing them. This participatory workshop aims to build participants’ skills in coaching talented people to high performance.
