Chalk Talk

A collection of discussions - 'chalk talks' - put into writing between a High School Coach and his players concerning the effect the mental game plays on the physical game. The articles represent Coach Hobby's thoughts and the point he was trying to convey about the role their mindset like attitude, emotions and confidencce plays. The themes are from sports incidents, articles from sports subscriptions like Sports Illustrated, sport psychologists and sports figures and how they responded to pressure, mistakes, slumps, etc. Coach Hobby's goal was to get the players to acknowledge the importance the role their mindset plays in their physical development and to convince them to committ to include some of his suggestions and thoughts when they are working on their physical game.
