The week kicked off with guest speaker Dr. Issac Zur, a sports and performance psychologist who helps elite athletes overcome pressure and anxiety to perform at their best. Zur explained the mind-body connection and led interactive demonstrations to show the affects of stress on the body, such as increased heart rate. Students learned strategies like controlled breathing and focused concentration to help them overcome their own stressful situations.
