Organizational Psychology - How To Turn Around A Struggling Team

Ibex Tactics is an organizational psychology business that helps sports and corporate teams improve team performance. A common issue that comes up for our clients is identifying the underlying issues that are creating a struggling team. Helping organizations overcome this issue can be both very common and quite challenging. For this issue of the Training Report, I wanted to share an Ibex Tactics journal article that explores this issue in more depth.

Note To Reader:

If you are an athlete reading this segment of the TRAINING REPORT, hopefully this content was helpful! I put the Training Report together because I felt like many of the discussions on issues such as the Yips/mental blocks, strength training & other subject matter on athlete performance concepts were really missing the mark on these ideas (e.g. how trauma is the direct cause of the Yips). If you are interested in learning more, make sure to subscribe below for when I put out new content on issues related to sport psychology & athlete performance! Also, if you are looking to work with a mental performance specialist, you are in the right place! USE THIS LINK to reach out to me to see if my services are the right fit for your goals!
