Mental Skills Course Is $100 Off

Published September 3, 2024

As promised, the ​Mental Skills for High School Runners course​ is on sale for just $95 (it normally sells for $195) for the next 3 days, until Thursday night at 11:45 pm EDT.

We both know that kids must be mentally strong to race to their potential.

And we both know that every year you have runners on your team who are fit and ready to run fast, but they struggle mentally to put it all together in the race.

On top of that, in the past few years more and more coaches have said to me:

“What’s missing from my program is a systematic way to help all my athletes get mentally stronger, especially those who are suffering from extreme anxiety.”

When I talk to coaches with years of experience, they tell me that this problem - which they rarely dealt with 10-15 years ago - is getting worse every season.

I knew there had to be a solution.

So I reached out to mental performance coaches, NXN coaches, authors, professional runners, and PhDs to help you help your athletes with the most elusive part of coaching cross country — the mental side of racing.

The Mental Skills Course brings together their insights and best practices.

• It’s designed for both coaches and athletes.
• It’s concise – you need just a few hours to learn the key skills.
• You can watch or list to all the content on your phone or computer in an easy-to-use app.

Here’s what coaches are saying about the course.

“The goal with mental training is to help the athletes be prepared for how taxing the championship season can be and I believe this program helped accomplish that very thing.

No matter how mentally tough someone is, there is something here to help them.” - Jordan Fuglestad

Coach Hayes is one of the best coaches in Ohio, and he uses the course.

“We have used the Mental Skills course over the past few seasons and have loved the results with our athletes.

Being able to have the tools needed to give our athletes an edge on race day has been one of the best investments our program has made.

I am excited to keep using this course in the coming seasons and watching how our athletes continue to develop.” - Jake Hayes

Coach Crigger uses the course to help kids stay calm on race day.

“I shared a lot of strategies with my runner and I can tell it has helped them focus, as well as stay calm during times of adversity.

This is an excellent course which adds more tools to my coaching toolbelt. Well worth the money.” - Brian Crigger

NXN Coaches Use The Course

In 2023 Coach Andy Derks took his team to NXN for the first time. And he used the Mental Skills course throughout the season.

“I am usually hesitant to purchase coaching education materials online. There is so much out there and often it is just information overload.

However, when I saw the lineup of coaches/professionals on Jay’s Mental Skills for High School Runners course and listened to a few short clips, I knew this would be well worth the investment.

As Coach Dan Iverson notes in his section, mental “skills” implies that this is something that can be learned, practiced, and improved over time.

As a coach, I am guilty of spending too much time worrying about the minutia of workouts and realized I was not doing enough to prepare our runners psychologically and emotionally to be the best racers/competitors they can be.

Our runners are extremely dedicated, and I need to match that dedication by continuing to learn so I can best help them develop the skills they need to transfer their fitness into racing and put them in the best position possible as competitors.

Bottom line: Mental Skills are often overlooked and under-coached.

Coach Jay clearly took time to consider who to interview, what questions to ask, and has a keen insight into what HS coaches need to learn to help their runners.

This package will help you as a coach to develop the confidence and skills to best help put your runners in positions to succeed as racers.

Additionally, it will undoubtedly help your runners to feel like they are not on their own when it comes to the mental side of our sport. Just like runners can improve their fitness through the right workouts, they can become better races, especially in the biggest moment, when the right mental practice.” -
