As a coach or athletic director, you certainly understand the importance of mental skills to athletic performance. Attend this event and learn more about how ACES can enhance goal setting, managing emotions, thought control, visualization, motivation, confidence, handling performance pressure, mental preparation for competition, mental toughness, team building, sport parenting, and more. Plus, hear from a nationally recognized expert in sport psychology and the first ever organ transplant recipient to compete in the Olympics.

The Argosy University/Phoenix Center for Excellence in Sport, or ACES, is a collection of sport psychology faculty and graduate students that provides performance enhancement services through clinics, presentations, workshops, classes, and consultation to athletic populations in Phoenix and the surrounding areas. Our mission is to foster the pursuit of performance and personal excellence by delivering comprehensive, state-of-the-art mental skills training to athletes, coaches, parents, and other related groups.
