The Problem
Sports prioritize winning over the mental and physical health of athletes, coaches and performing artists. In competition under pressure you are encouraged to hide physical injuries and avoid showing pain, assimilate to team culture at the expense of your identity, and endure coaching behaviors within an imbalanced power structure to ultimately win at all costs.
The Solution

Dr. Rundle combines evidence-based research with applied strategies to help athletes, coaches and performing artists improve performance, obtain balance and find meaning in competition.
