It’s official. After the homecoming beat-down of the number 22 ranked South Carolina Gamecocks, 20-6, the University of Alabama football team is back on top of the AP college football poll. While this game did not feature the offensive explosion seen in previous games, the discipline on the defensive side showcased the Tide’s hallmark of late: mental toughness.
As you may or may not know, coach Nick Saban hired The Pacific Institute to take the entire team through the PX2 curriculum last fall before the 2008 football campaign. This fall, he brought our facilitators back to train the freshmen. How much of the team’s success can be attributed to the their mental toughness is difficult to measure. But the tools they used to gain that psychological edge are no secret. Sports Illustrated noted it last year. As did the Chattanooga Times Free Press.
PX2 works. It’s fun to watch the results play out in the national sporting news. But it’s still accessible for local youth sports teams. Read more on this site and send me an email for more information. You can view the first unit of PX2 for free here.
I love my job.
