Whole Brain In Action in Sport

  
In any sport, once you have reached your optimum level of proficiency - skills and fitness, you need something else to give you the edge. Knowing how you prefer to think in a sporting situation can give you that edge. Knowing how your teammates prefer to think will give your team the edge. Mila offers a programme that will help you to understand how you prefer to think and how your teammates prefer to think. This can prove invaluable to  coaches and players. Mila offers programmes for cricket, rugby and golf.
