Today we’re getting under the hood with Larissa Mills an esteemed Cognitive Behavioural Sports Specialist, Educational Behavioral Consultant holding a BA in Sociology, Psychology, and a Masters of Science in Education, specializing in brain functionality and learning mechanisms. With over 25 years of coaching experience across various sports, Larissa’s insights have been honed through a deep understanding of athletic dynamics and behaviour.
Driven by her passion for maximizing athlete potential, Larissa’s journey began with a profound question: why were some athletes falling short of their potential? This inquiry led her to uncover a crucial connection between excessive phone usage, social media engagement, and parenting practices. Recognizing the impact of these factors on psychological development and social skills, Larissa delved further.
The culmination of her expertise and discoveries culminated in the inception of “The Mental Game Academy.” This innovative program, born from Larissa’s unique vantage point, addresses the intricate challenges like excessive phone use and social media posed by contemporary technology and parenting styles. By creating a hybrid educational platform, Larissa’s academy focuses on equipping athletes not only in their chosen sports but also in crucial life skills often overlooked.
